Pharma peeler centrifuge for high purity separations
Achieve unparalleled product purity and yield in demanding pharmaceutical processes with this advanced peeler centrifuge, designed to tackle cost-intensive production and stringent purity requirements by efficiently separating and purifying active ingredients while minimizing losses.

The PUREVO pharma peeler centrifuge from ANDRITZ KMPT is designed to meet the rigorous demands of the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. This centrifuge stands out for its ability to achieve maximum product purity and yield by utilizing a patented peeler and discharge concept. It efficiently separates and purifies solid and slurry products through high g-forces, enhancing subsequent processing efficiency. Ideal for applications involving APIs, antibiotics, and fine chemicals, it supports continuous, high-speed operations with full automation, seamlessly integrating into existing production lines.
With a filter area ranging from 0.40-2.5 m², the PUREVO 1250 model excels in processing tasks, ensuring almost 100% solids recovery. Its hygienic design features removable filter cloths and a CIP system for rapid, effective cleaning, which makes it compliant with GMP standards. Constructed from high-performance materials, it offers superior corrosion resistance, suitable for a range of challenging environments. The centrifuge also includes options for pneumatic/electric drives and can be customized to match specific operational requirements.
