SAC Fully Automatic Candle Filter

These filters, designed for the pharmaceutical, biochemical, and food industries, comply with GMP standards. These sectors are subject to strict regulatory requirements and must meet rigorous criteria regarding particulate removal, decolorization, thorough cleanability, and solid-liquid separation within sterile environments.

The SAC filter is derived from the CSF filter—a technology that has already been successfully deployed in dozens of solid-liquid separation applications and has gained widespread industry recognition. In large-scale production within the pharmaceutical and bioprocessing sectors, effective solid-liquid separation relies on the seamless integration of sophisticated programming with a simple, robust structural design. Applications for the SAC filter include the separation of biological entities from fermentation broths; the removal of solid precipitates in downstream processing lines; the handling of activated carbon in liquid products; the separation of hydrogenation catalysts in hydrogenation reactions; the capture of cellular debris from mammalian and bacterial cell cultures; the removal of precipitates from enzyme, plasma, and protein solutions; the staged separation of blood substitutes; and the isolation of crystalline antibiotics for injection.

Product Advantages

● Operates within a completely sealed, high-security system featuring no rotating mechanical parts (with the exception of pumps and valves).

● Incorporates simple, modular filtration elements.

● Offers exceptional mobility and flexibility, effectively meeting the requirements of short production cycles and frequent batch processing.

● Enables the discharge of sterile filter cakes—whether as dry solids, slurries, or re-slurried mixtures—directly into a receiving vessel; the proprietary GLS atomizing spray washing system minimizes washing fluid consumption.

● Features a proprietary "volume-tracking" filtration technology developed by GLS, which ensures nearly 100% recovery of both solids and liquids, thereby guaranteeing the integrity of the batch filtration process. The system facilitates easy Clean-In-Place (CIP) cleaning, and all components are detachable to allow for convenient inspection and verification.
