A high-efficiency gyratory sifter improves product quality and reduces machine downtime at Windlas’ pharmaceutical facility.

Windlas Biotech Limited is a well-known researcher and manufacturer with 18 years of experience of high-therapeutic value drugs for the global pharmaceutical market; in a recent effort to optimise its size separation of pharmaceutical powders at high capacity, the company approached global sieving and filtration specialist Russell Finex for an innovative sieving solution.

To ensure particle separation for removal of contamination, the pharmaceutical powders are screened at the granulation stage to separate the fine powder from coarse powder. Windlas Biotech first used a traditional rotary sifter for this process. However, this machine delivered powders at a low throughput rate and was too noisy. This, in turn, affected the rate at which the company could meet customer demand. In order to meet the necessary capacity and hygiene levels, the Russell Eco Separator® was found as the ideal solution to suit Windlas Biotech’s needs.

As an adaptable and accurate solution, the Russell Eco Separator is designed to meet the needs of modern-day pharmaceutical processing and sieving of powders. Providing up to five fractions of powder in one operation, ensuring that the product is sieved at the highest quality in order to meet requirements, this is an innovative solution which enables peace of mind for customers. It is also designed with minimal contact parts, reducing production downtime and allowing for easy cleaning.

For 85 years, Russell Finex has been manufacturing and supplying customised high-performance separation solutions to the pharmaceutical industry. A wide range of vibrating sieves, separators and self-cleaning filters are designed to increase productivity, improve product quality, safeguard operator’s health from dust and fumes and ensure contamination-free powders and liquids.
