Advanced Cyclone Systems

Client needs include a cyclone system, which dramatically increases powder yield and is efficient enough to comply with regulatory particulate matter (PM) limits, avoiding use of a bag filter.

Cyclones for API recovery

Due to a high-efficiency, Hurricane cyclones have been commercialised several times for the recovery of very fine APIs in the pharmaceutical / biopharmaceutical industries.

Common associated product losses due to low efficiency of cyclone separators are minimised with Hurricane geometries. These cyclones demonstrate impressive efficiencies even in capturing inhalable powders with a median volume diameter (MVD) of less than 3µm. This results in impressive improvements of high-value powder collection.

High-efficiency cyclones with recirculation

ReCyclone® MH Systems are ideal for upgrading Hurricane cyclones’ performance and minimising powder losses (down to 50%). This product is especially important for specific cases where electrostatic ReCyclone Systems cannot be applied, such as when organic solvents are used.

For the recovery of these sensible products, ReCyclone MH Systems maintain cyclones’ advantages, since the product is only discharged through the Hurricane. These systems are perfectly aseptic, do not have moving parts, and can easily be cleaned through clean-in-place (CIP) mechanisms. Recirculation can be provided through a venturi or a blower, depending on the type of powder processed.

This product is especially important for specific cases where electrostatic ReCyclone Systems cannot be applied, such as when organic solvents are used.

Recovery system for extremely fine APIs

ReCyclone EH Systems are the best technology available for the recovery of very fine and valuable APIs in pharmaceutical / biopharmaceutical drying processes. This is the case of nanoparticles.

ReCyclone EH Systems are ideal to maximise performance and minimise powder losses (down to 25% of Hurricane cyclones). This product is especially important for specific cases in the processing of very valuable powders.

For the recovery of these products, ReCyclone EH Systems maintain cyclones’ advantages, since the product is only discharged through the Hurricane. These systems are perfectly aseptic and have no moving parts.
