Agitated Nutsche Filter Dryer (ANFD)

 The Agitated Nutsche Filter Dryer (ANFD) is a closed, compact processing system designed to perform filtration, cake washing, vacuum drying, and product discharge within a single unit. By integrating multiple process steps into one equipment, it minimizes product handling, reduces contamination risks, and improves overall process efficiency.

Our ANFD is engineered for the pharmaceutical, chemical, API, food, and specialty process industries, making it ideal for handling toxic, sterile, highly potent, and temperature-sensitive products. Designed with a focus on safety, reliability, and cGMP compliance, the system delivers consistent product quality while ensuring easy operation and low maintenance.

 1. What is an Agitated Nutsche Filter Dryer (ANFD)?

An Agitated Nutsche Filter Dryer (ANFD) is a closed processing system that performs filtration, cake washing, vacuum drying, and product discharge in a single vessel. It minimizes product handling, reduces contamination, and improves process efficiency.

The process begins with slurry charging, followed by filtration to separate solids from liquids. The filter cake is then washed, vacuum dried using a heated jacket, and finally discharged safely through the bottom outlet—all within the same equipment.

ANFDs are widely used in pharmaceutical, API, chemical, agrochemical, food processing, nutraceutical, herbal extraction, biotechnology, and specialty chemical industries.

Dwaraka Sai Engineering Works manufactures Agitated Nutsche Filter Dryers from 2 Liters to 10,000 Liters. Custom capacities are also available to meet specific process requirements.

Yes. Every Agitated Nutsche Filter Dryer can be customized based on process requirements, capacity, material of construction, pressure rating, automation level, and other customer specifications.

Yes. We offer manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic PLC/HMI-based control systems for improved process control and operational efficiency.

Yes. The fully enclosed design makes the ANFD ideal for handling toxic, sterile, hazardous, and temperature-sensitive products while minimizing operator exposure and contamination risks.
