Biopharma separator for low to medium solid content

Ensure precise separation and high yield in biopharmaceutical production with a high-performance separator that gently handles shear-sensitive products while maintaining optimum purity and efficiency.

The GEA Pharma Separator Pure is a precision-engineered solution by GEA, designed to elevate biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical production. This separator utilizes a patented hydrohermetic inlet to gently process shear-sensitive bioproducts, ensuring cell viability in applications like monoclonal antibody production and injectable vaccines. Distinguished by its optimized bowl design, it offers high-capacity separation with configurations available for up to 10 vol% solids, accommodating a full range of capacities with four bowl sizes. The separator integrates seamlessly into your production line with automatic CIP and ASME BPE-compliant features, offering easy validation and reduced contamination risks. Its state-of-the-art IDD Drive enhances cleanroom compatibility, cutting down maintenance with fewer wear parts. This system is suitable for continuous, automated operations and supports the flexibility of the GEA flexChange concept, transitioning static lines into adaptable ones. The solid stainless steel construction ensures durability and resistance to corrosion, compliant with rigorous GMP and FDA standards.

Benefits

  • Ensures product integrity with gentle handling, preserving vital cell structures in sensitive bioproducts.
