CONTUFILT - M
Closing the Loop on Precious Catalyst Recovery
CONTUFILT-M™ is an advanced closed filtration system designed for efficient recovery of heterogeneous precious metal catalysts in pharmaceutical, API, and chemical processes. It minimizes catalyst loss, improves recovery efficiency, and ensures compliance with stringent GMP requirements.
Surface Filtration, Cake Formation & Catalyst Recovery
Filtration
catalyst-bearing liquid passes through metallic filter candles arranged in a tube bundle.
Reverse flow
in-situ reverse flow enables effective cleaning and maintains performance.
Washing
integrated washing removes residual contaminants from catalyst cake.
Gas-assisted discharge
catalyst is discharged as slurry or semi-solid cake using gas support.
Closed operation
cleaning and preparation occur without opening the system.
Recovery Efficiency, Containment & Process Integrity
Proprietary vacuum-fused metallic open channel media
High catalyst recovery with minimal losses
Zero holdup bottom design for complete discharge
Fully enclosed system ensuring GMP compliance
Reduced contamination risk and operator exposure
Reusable filter media with long lifecycle
Suitable for batch and continuous operations
