Agitated Filter Dryers
ANTICO DryFilter™ integrates filtration and drying operations within a closed system for high-value products. The working principle involves filtration followed by agitation and heating to remove residual moisture. The system includes a vessel, agitator, filter base, heating jacket, and vacuum system. It is used for handling sensitive, toxic, and high-value materials. The agitation ensures uniform drying and prevents lump formation. The enclosed design minimizes operator exposure and contamination. It supports efficient solvent recovery during drying.
The system is widely used in pharmaceutical and specialty chemical industries. It ensures consistent product quality and safety. ANTICO DryFilter™ enhances process efficiency and containment.
