The Model APD Centrifuge from Celeros Separations is suitable for a broad range of two-phase solid-liquid separation applications common to the biotechnology and pharmaceutical process industries.
Transcending current centrifuge technology, the Model APD centrifuge achieves full-automatic operation in a hermetically sealed environment. The design incorporates a low shear feed inlet and low shear centrate exit to enhance separation and maintain product integrity, and a discharge piston to achieve total solids recovery after separation. There are no wide-blade scrapers, baffles, discs or discharge ports to impede solids discharge.
As a multi-purpose centrifuge, the APD is jacketed to permit thermal control. To further broaden process flexibility, vacuum-rated designs, solids receiving vessels, and CIP/SIP skids are available options.
Typical applications include blood fractionation, vaccine manufacturing, mammalian cell harvesting and E. Coli microbial processing.
