Agitated Nutsche Filters & Filter Dryers

MAVAZWAG®

Agitated pressure filters, filter-dryers, and pressure Nutsche filters perform most effectively in batch operations as cake filters used to separate concentrated suspensions.

MAVAZWAG® Agitated Nutsche Filters and Filter Dryers (ANF and ANFD) are designed and manufactured with state of-the-art technology by MAVAG. These are versatile units for deep bed, solid-liquid separation using a filter screen.

Where are they used?

MAVAZWAG® performs most effectively in pharmaceutical and chemical industries where filtration and cake washing are required.

By adding a jacket to the vessel, heated blades on the agitator, as well as by operating under vacuum, the wet cake can be fully dried and discharged as a powder, all in a single unit.

What are the main advantages?

  • All operations of an ANF and ANFDs are performed in an enclosed system, ensuring product quality, product consistency, and operational safety.
  • Our ANF and ANFDs are also available in GMP/Sterile designs, which adhere to CIP/SIP requirements.
  • MAVAZWAG® ANF and ANFDs are available in stainless steel, Hastelloy, and special alloys. For extremely corrosive applications, we offer glass-lined ANF and ANFDs. Mavag offers Pilot ANFD for on-site test work, enabling the user to gain valuable experience and, at the same time, gather reliable process data.
  • Our engineers work closely with you to assist in selecting the right ANF or ANFD and then optimize it for your process conditions.
