SWECO PH06Y2 Pharmaceutical Separator

• Separating solids from liquids in pharmaceutical production.
• Grading dry powders by particle size for quality control.
• Dewatering slurries in various stages of drug manufacturing.
• Recovering valuable solids from waste streams in pharmaceutical processes.

Screen diameter

For this model series, screen diameters typically range from 18 to 60 inches (450mm to 1500mm), with the '06' in PH06Y2 likely indicating a 60-inch unit.

Number of decks

Units of this type commonly feature one to three screen decks, allowing for multiple separations in a single pass.

Construction material

Pharmaceutical separators are typically constructed from 316L stainless steel for all product contact parts, ensuring hygienic operation and corrosion resistance.

Power supply

Commonly requires a three-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz in the UK, with motor power varying based on unit size.

Vibration control

The inclusion of a SWECO Adjust-A-Vibe Control allows for fine-tuning of the vibratory action, optimising separation efficiency for different materials.

Typical footprint

A 60-inch unit would typically require a floor space of approximately 1.5m x 1.5m, plus clearance for maintenance and material handling.

• What is the primary function of a pharmaceutical separator?

  A pharmaceutical separator is designed to efficiently separate solid particles from liquids or to classify dry powders by particle size, crucial for quality control and product purity in the pharmaceutical industry.

• What does 'Adjust-A-Vibe Control' mean?

• Is this unit suitable for wet or dry applications?

• What maintenance is typically required for this type of equipment?

• Are spare parts readily available for SWECO equipment?

Pharmaceutical separators are regarded as essential equipment for drug manufacturing and purification processes. Buyers typically prioritise equipment with validated performance history and comprehensive documentation. When purchasing used units, inspecting separation efficiency, material compatibility with pharmaceutical products, and maintenance records proves critical. Industry sentiment favours separators offering reliable particle removal, scalability for batch variations, and compliance with GMP standards. Durable construction and established brand heritage generally indicate better long-term value and regulatory acceptance within pharmaceutical operations.
