IMAGE PLACEHOLDERANFD — product photo to be supplied

An ANFD combines filtration, cake washing and drying within a single enclosed vessel fitted with an internal agitator. Keeping the product in one vessel through all three steps minimises manual transfer and operator exposure to solvent-wet API cake.

Designed with cGMP and xGMP principles in mind

Construction practices are intended to align with commonly accepted xGMP expectations for pharmaceutical process equipment — crevice-free welding, cleanable surfaces and appropriate contact-part finishing. TCS does not issue regulatory certification; compliance of installed equipment within a specific facility is subject to the customer's own validation and regulatory process. Subject to process requirement.

What does ANFD stand for?

Agitated Nutsche Filter Dryer — a vessel that filters, washes and dries product without transferring it between machines.

Is it suitable for hazardous solvents?

Explosion-proof and nitrogen-inerted configurations are available as optional features; confirm hazard classification at order stage.

Can it run under pressure as well as vacuum?

Yes, ANFDs can be configured for combined vacuum filtration and pressure-assisted cake discharge, subject to process requirement.
