From the smallest size, the “Mini Lab” GFD with 0.002 m2 filtration basket with a volume of 0.3 L, and the “Lab” GFD size with removable filtration basket of 0.01 m2 for cake volume of approximately 0.5 L, to the “Maxi Lab” GFD used with Kilo-Laboratory for a cake volume of 5 L with 0.05 m2 filtration area, PSL offers a variety of vessels to fit many laboratory needs.
The SimpleFilter Dryer (SFD) is the new Pilot Plant Filter Dryer from PSL designed for filtration, and washing and drying of APIs and intermediates. The polyvalent SFD features a heated insulated jacket to improve drying, a heated plate with filtration media support for increased draining abilities, and a side discharge plug.
