Pharmaceutical Vacuum recovers powdered products.

Press Release Summary:



Model CFM 3151 continuously extracts excess powder straight from the source when integrated into drug-processing equipment including milling, filling, de-dusting, polishing, and packaging machines. Constant suction ensures that all powder is collected, while filtration system guarantees that collected powder is safety retained in vacuum for recovery and/or reuse. System traps up to 99.999% of particles, down to and including 0.3 microns.

Pharmaceutical Vacuum Makes Accurate Product Recovery Possible



Nilfisk-Advance America's CFM 3151 pharmaceutical vacuum extracts excess powders straight from the source, ensuring that all product is collected, filtered, and accounted for

MALVERN, Pa., October 18, 2002 - Nilfisk-Advance America's CFM 3151 pharmaceutical vacuum cleaner continuously extracts excess powder straight from the source when integrated into drug-processing equipment including milling, filling, de-dusting, polishing, and packaging machines. The vacuum's constant, powerful suction ensures that all powder is collected, while its exceptional filtration system guarantees that the collected powder is safely retained in the vacuum for recovery and/or reuse.

"The CFM 3151 makes accountability simple for pharmaceutical plant managers," said Mike D'Agostino, product manager for Nilfisk-Advance America. "They can be confident that all collected materials are securely contained inside the vacuum and will not be exhausted back into the air. This is especially critical when dealing with hazardous materials."

Because Nilfisk-Advance America's CFM 3151 completely isolates the processing of products and provides constant suction at the source, it virtually eliminates product cross-contamination. The vacuum's highly efficient filtration system helps to further reduce the threat of contamination by ensuring a clean exhaust stream. The filtration system is designed to collect and retain pharmaceutical powders and debris using a series of graduated filters, including an oversized polyester main filter. An optional HEPA* upstream filter prevents collected particles from escaping through the exhaust stream and re-circulating in the air. The system traps up to 99.999% of particles, down to and including 0.3 microns.
