International technology group Andritz has launched Nutrion – an vacuum drum filter with a hygiene-optimized design to ensure high-quality end products for demanding sectors such as food and pharmaceuticals. It features a self-emptying filter trough, a vapor-tight hood, and advanced control options.
Compared to alternative vacuum drum filters, the Nutrion vacuum filter from Andritz has multiple improved features designed to eliminate any risk of contamination – an essential requirement for separation equipment in the pharmaceutical or food industry. Its filter trough is designed without any internal mechanical components and with self-emptying capability, simplifying the maintenance process and increasing cleanliness in this sensitive area. The vapor-tight hood eliminates the risk of contamination, with integrated nozzles for fully automatic cleaning in place (CIP) as well as optional cake washing.
An innovative, magnetic clamping device takes filter-cloth installation to the next level by eliminating dirt traps and reducing downtime for cloth changes. For pre-coat applications, the product quality and staff safety are also enhanced by the addition of a pre-coat scraper with step motors, again with CIP and a fully enclosed design. Nutrion ensures increased safety for staff, highest hygiene, and product quality, while ensuring greater availability and minimizing manual interventions.
