Reduce filtration for streamlined, sustainable processing
Save labor, time, space and costs through significantly reduced filter area
Let GEA kytero® reduce your dependency on bulky and cumbersome filtration assemblies! Using the disk stack separator can reduce the required filter area by 100% in the primary clarification step and by about 50 % in the secondary step. Save valuable floorspace, storage room, waste and valuable manpower necessary to replace used filters. Plus, no fallback systems are needed to cover for blocked filters.
Tested performance: GEA kytero® in comparison
The machine’s separation efficiency has been tested at the Centre for Biochemical Engineering and Cell Cultivation Techniques at the Zurich University of Applied Science (ZHAW). The researchers used a Chinese hamster ovary cell line that produces the mAb immunoglobulin. The disk stack separator produced similar or better clarification results than comparable separation solutions, such as filtration systems, with a much easier and safer operation principle.
In a field test by a GEA customer, a medium-scale production facility was able to save 80 % of normally applied filter area with the disk stack separator. “We are very happy with the design, the overall performance, low noise and ease of use of this single-use skid,” said a representative.
