Full-Volume Recovery Centrifuge [Increased Production Efficiency! GMP Compliant for Peace of Mind!] FLOWM
●Fully automatic recovery of the entire amount without crushing the crystals ●Suitable for containment that considers the safety of workers and equipment environment with hazard response models.
We achieve a safe working environment and improved production efficiency. The fully enclosed centrifugal separator FLOWM can perform all processes in a completely sealed state. Additionally, the separated crystals are automatically and completely recovered without being crushed. The internal cleaning of the machine after work can also be done automatically, significantly improving time loss due to product changeovers and enhancing the working environment.
basic information
**Features** - By inverting the filter cloth, you can recover all the crystals. - Since it can automatically recover all the crystals without crushing them, separation can be performed under the same conditions for each batch. It minimizes filtration resistance and dramatically improves production efficiency. Additionally, lot management of the product is easy. - Operation in a completely sealed state. - Ensures safety for both the product and the working environment. It also allows for operation in a nitrogen-sealed state. - Reliable cake washing. - There is no slurry leakage from the filter cloth, allowing for thorough cake washing. - Designed and manufactured in Japan. - Provides users with equipment that meets their needs with trusted Japanese quality and flexible design philosophy. Maintenance and support are also provided promptly. - The clean room can be separated from the machinery room with a partition. - This makes it easy to maintain the clean room environment and effectively utilize the space. - Reliable internal cleaning is possible. - By combining CIP cleaning devices with immersion cleaning, more advanced internal cleaning can be achieved. Additionally, the design minimizes dead space, making swab testing easy. *For more details, please feel free to contact us.*

Detailed information

◎ High cleaning performance and easy cleaning verification - By equipping a casing opening and closing mechanism and a basket lifting device, it is possible to reliably clean even the narrow gaps between the bottom of the basket and the inside of the boss (cylindrical part), as well as the upper part of the casing bottom and the outer surface of the bearing case, which was not possible before. Flushing, wiping, and cleanliness verification can be performed. Even when the processed material changes, sufficiently clean centrifugal separation processing is possible, making it suitable as a GMP and FDA compliant machine. ◎ Labor-saving, efficiency-enhancing, and unmanned operation - It can program a variety of recipes and is equipped with various safety devices, allowing for automatic operation. - The basket lifting device raises the basket body, making it easier to visually check the back of the basket, reducing the time for cleaning verification and achieving labor savings.
-
◎Increased Production Efficiency - With the casing fully open and the basket in front of the operator, the time required for cleaning confirmation during product changeovers when used in multi-mode is reduced, thereby increasing production efficiency. - The entire process from slurry supply, separation, cake washing, to crystal recovery and cleaning can be fully automated via the control panel without human intervention, which reduces the operator's workload and increases production efficiency.
-
◎Suitable for labor-saving, energy-saving, and unmanned operations ・The large crystal discharge outlet after the filtration process eliminates concerns about adhesion, accumulation, or clogging of the processed material during automatic operation.
-
Overall diagram of FLOWM This is the state when the cover is closed. It remains in this state during operation, such as during filtration, separation, and dewatering.
-
◎Increase in crystal recovery rate - By making the residual crystal scraping device (patented by our company) a multi-blade structure, it is possible to recover crystals at the highest efficiency up to the limit of the filter cloth.
-
The cover is in an open state. The cover is open in two stages. Since the cover is fully open, it is easy to perform cleaning and cleaning verification. Therefore, it helps prevent contamination (foreign matter intrusion) during small-lot production of various items.
-
Easy-to-clean basket Since hands can reach behind the basket, it is easy to check for cleaning and washing.
-
◎Improved Crystal Recovery Rate By attaching a nozzle to the scraping device, it is possible to detach residual crystals from the filter cloth using high-pressure air or N2 gas, allowing for the most efficient recovery of crystals. Additionally, it facilitates the removal of liquid during reuse. Furthermore, when processing different chemicals, the use of high-pressure water for cleaning the filter cloth enhances efficiency.
-
All crystals can be recovered completely. Since the filter cloth is inverted, it is possible to recover all the crystals attached to the filter cloth.
-
◎Labor-saving, automation, and unmanned operation - The entire process from slurry supply, separation, cake washing, to crystal recovery and cleaning can be fully automated and controlled via a control panel without human intervention, enabling labor-saving operations without the need for operator involvement. - By using metal filter media, there is no need to replace the filter cloth.

Video release of a new machine that fully automates crystal collection.
Matsumoto Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has released a CG video on YouTube that explains the operation of the new crystal full recovery type centrifuge "FLOWM." The "FLOWM" is a horizontal centrifuge specifically designed for industries such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and food, where a clean environment is required. This video clearly explains the processes of filtration, discharge, and internal cleaning using CG, allowing those considering its introduction to better understand the operational image of the device. The FLOWM was developed to solve the challenges of conventional centrifuges and to support next-generation separation processes. It features fully automated operation, high cleanability, space-saving design, and safety features, strongly supporting process stabilization and labor reduction. We hope that the FLOWM will become a new solution in your manufacturing site. Please take this opportunity to check its performance and operation in the video.

I want to collect and produce the entire amount in a clean state for every batch without leaving any leftover cake.
We received an order for a complete recovery centrifuge, FLOWM, from Company O, which specializes in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and their intermediates, as well as contract synthesis. They have expanded their new plant and consulted us regarding the centrifuge, stating, "Since the product has a high drug price, we want to recover all of it and are particular about the design." After several discussions on specifications, we proceeded with the order. ▶ For more details, please follow the link.
