Aseptic separator for biopharma applications

Achieve high purity for your pharmaceutical liquids with a centrifuge that ensures gentle handling and low shear in aseptic processing, making it ideal for maintaining the integrity of sensitive biologic formulations.

The GEA Pharma Separator Aseptic C is engineered for precision separation and clarification of liquid biopharmaceuticals. Utilizing a unique hydrohermetic inlet, it ensures gentle product handling to protect shear-sensitive cells and proteins. Designed for processes involving monoclonal antibodies and vaccine suspensions, it offers an optimized bowl design for different solid content levels. Automation is smooth with ASME BPE compliance, automatic SIP, and CIP features, ensuring high cleanability and validation ease. Capable of continuous operation, it integrates seamlessly into existing lines with its plug-and-produce skid design, featuring four bowl sizes to match processing needs. The GEA Integrated Direct Drive reduces emissions in cleanroom environments and lessens maintenance due to fewer wear parts, promoting longevity and efficiency.

Benefits

  • Ensures high product purity through gentle, controlled separation processes.
  • Enhances operational efficiency with continuous, automated cleaning cycles.
  • Integrates effortlessly into existing production lines with flexible design options.
  • Minimizes contamination risks in cleanroom settings with robust emission control.
