Agitated Nutsche Filter/ Dryer ( ANFD) technology is particularly suited to meet the stringent requirements of the pharmaceutical and fine chemicals industry for solids washing separation & Drying, in the most challenging process conditions. Agitated filters and dryers, combined filter-dryers are designed to remove the residual liquid phase from the cake by performing the filtering and drying operations in the same vessel.

Agitator filters are suitable for filtration of liquids with a high solid content. The liquid is separated mechanically using a permeable layer/ filter medium under vacuum or pressure. A special height-adjustable agitator design improvises the degree of filtration effectiveness and enables the mechanical discharge of the solid. An even filter cake forms on the horizontal base of the filter, which ensures the best possible recovery of the solid
