The HEINKEL Inverting Filter Centrifuge HF The best possible quality standard in classic solids-liquids-separation HEINKEL developed the inverting filter centrifuge in the early 70 s. The new technology produced residual heel free high quality product in an automated manner. The technology has stood the test of time and is accepted as the standard solution in the field of solid liquid separation. Today we benefit from many years of experience. Many years of experience in building Inverting Filter Centrifuges The core design upon which our reliable and robust design was based of discharging separated products by inverting the filter cloth is at the heart of our technology to-day. HEINKEL Inverting Filter Centrifuges have been used in numerous applications to separate high quality solid materials. Continuous research and optimization of the centrifuge and its associated sub-systems are the foundation of today s very high quality standard. In order to fulfill the demands of the pharmaceutical industry, HEINKEL has eliminated hydraulic systems with Inverting Filter Centrifuge design. Industry standards including cgmp or GAMP have been recognized and used as the guide for our design team. Our achievements include the development of industry leading CIP systems and accessibility through the development of fully moveable housings. HEINKEL sets standards Through it s completely sealed process chamber and fully automated, uninterrupted mode of operation; HEINKEL Inverting Filter Centrifuges fulfill the highest safety standards and guarantee maximum safety for the operating personnel, the environment and the product. The safety level of a HEINKEL Inverting Filter Centrifuge always conforms to current regulations. We strive to set centrifuge technology standard. 3

The Inverting Filter Centrifuge principle Technology for optimum efficiency Filling The slurry (liquid stream containing solid to be separated) is delivered to the process chamber which is a rotating drum a feed pipe. The filling step is usually controlled through a load cell based weight control system optionally control can be by time or volume. Spinning The drum spins at a pre-set value chosen from the speed range of the individual machine. The filtrate passes through the filter cloth which lines the process chamber and the solids collect and build up on the filter cloth to form a cake of material. Washing Wash liquid is introduced and controlled in the same manner as the slurry. Due to the homogeneous cake build-up each part of the solid cake will be washed to the same quality. Discharging The separated solids are discharged by inverting the filter cloth through the axially movement of the shaft, while the bowl remains rotating at a low speed. 4

Advantages - Homogeneous cake build-up - no compression of the solids cake - homogeneous drainage results - no vibration - optimum filling process. - High rotational speeds during spinning with maximum drum load possible - homogeneous drainage results - fully flexible process recipe management. - Homogeneous washing results through the even cake structure - comparatively low consumption of wash medium and reduce amounts of post process wash filtrate to be processed. - Product protected during discharge (no damage to crystal structure) - no residual heel - no manual emptying of the drum and opening of the process housings necessary - clean filter cloth for the next filling process. 5

SPS Control Technology and Quality Management System We understand the additional demands on the pharmaceutical ingredient manufacturer eith regard to qualification / validation. Control Technology We understand the control of the centrifuge needs to be adaptable to individual process requirements. Features We understand the control of the centrifuge needs to be adaptable to individual process requirements. We understand operator requirements and include these in the screens available through the operator display Complete and flexible recipe management is standard. Flexible interface to the full range of plant control systems. The operator panels for installation in potentially explosive environments. HEINKEL control systems can be carried out as stand-alone variations or as sub-systems of more complex control systems of the customer. Quality Management HEINKEL has built up an extensive quality management system in accordance with the recommendations of the GAMP forum for project handling and has implemented it into HEINKEL s already existing quality protection system. Today this allows us to assure that the customer s criteria are defined, considered during construction and production and can ultimately be fulfilled and verified. Verification is confirmed through GAMP compliant documentation. HEINKEL supports it s customers worldwide during the Installation Qualification (IQ) and Operational Qualification (OQ) of their systems through the production and implementation of compliant documentation by qualified personnel. 9

HEINKEL Original Spare Parts Everything from one source HEINKEL Inverting Filter Centrifuges are an essential part of a complete production system. HEINKEL developed support systems and features to enhance the benefits Inverting Filter Centrifuges in a modular form to enable them to be readily integrated into existing installations. PAC -System HYPERCENTRIFUGATION The modular PAC -System can be delivered as part of original supply or as an add on feature for the HEINKEL Inverting Filter Centrifuge to expand its area of application. The PAC -System makes it possible to pressurize the process chamber inside the drum with a gas pressure of up to 6 bar. 6 bar The HYPERCENTRIFUGATION process produces lower residual moistures accelerating the dewatering of the solids increasing product quantity and quality. Products which could not previously be separated using centrifuge technology can now be separated effortlessly through the HYPERCENTRIFU- GATION process. JETSTREAM - Zentrifugation During the isolation of pharmaceutical substances, pharmaceutical preand intermediate levels as well as special chemicals, there are processes used (among others) that combine both the steps filtration and thermal drying. The PAC -Modules by HEINKEL are the technical solution for this. The separated solid substance is dried in the centrifuge drum prior to discharge as a free flowing granular material. 6 bar 10
