Unit operation

Filtration toll manufacturing: centrifuges, filter presses, ANFD

For slurries that need to become a washed cake, and for liquids that need to leave clear, on equipment sized for your batch.

Live listings

No verified unit lists Filtration capacity yet. Listings appear here the day our desk approves them, and the guide below is how we qualify one when it does.

Post your requirement and our broker desk looks for the capacity by hand, or list your own unit if you run one.

What filtration on job work involves

Filtration is rarely bought alone; it is the step between reaction or crystallisation and drying, and a client who buys the reactor or the crystalliser on toll manufacturing buys the filter with it. It matters because the wash decides purity, the cake decides drying time, and the mother liquor decides yield and effluent. It also decides how much solvent the operators breathe.

Peeler, bag-lifting and basket centrifuges handle crystalline solids at speed; filter presses take large volumes of fine solids; agitated nutsche filter dryers filter, wash and dry closed in one vessel for solvent-wet or potent products. Sparkler and cartridge filters polish liquids. Mother-liquor recovery and closed operation are what separate a good toll plant from a bare one.

What to check before you send an enquiry

The questions our desk puts to a unit before it qualifies an enquiry for Filtration. A listing answers most of them; the trial batch answers the rest.

  • Filter type for your solid: centrifuge for crystalline, fast-settling material; filter press for fine or slimy solids; ANFD for solvent-wet or potent cakes.
  • Wash protocol and its result — residual impurity or colour in the cake after the wash the plant proposes.
  • Mother-liquor handling: recovery, recycling or treatment, and who owns the dissolved product it carries.
  • Closed operation and area classification for flammable solvents, and containment for toxic solids.
  • Product-contact surfaces, cloth and bag changes between products, and cleaning records if your material needs GMP handling.

Where the capacity is

Filtration sits beside every reactor and crystalliser: Ankleshwar and Panoli for agro and intermediates, the Hyderabad estates and JN Pharma City for pharma cakes, Vatva and Vapi for dyes and pigments.
