Aseptic vibratory separator for the pharmaceutical industry SWECO

Sweco's PharmASep is a fully contained Vibro-Energy Filter/Dryer suitable for aseptic processes in the pharmaceutical industry. With a design that eliminates gaps, crevices and hidden areas, the PharmASep proves valuable to those processes handling potent and/or toxic substances where containment is an important issue.

The PharmASep allows batch processing of up to 15kg of solids as well as continuous processing in pilot plants and full production environments. For both wet and dry processes, the sealed pressure vessel delivers high yield product recovery while containing potent pharmaceuticals for safer handling. Unique Vibro-DryTM Technology, developed by Sweco, allows vacuum drying to occur within the PharmASep while the product is gently tumbled on the screen surface, accelerating the drying process and reducing formation of agglomerates.


The PharmASep, with clean-in-place and steam-in-place capabilities, enables users to properly clean the machine without the need to disassemble and re-assemble, reducing downtime and ultimately increasing productivity. In the case of wet sieving, the PharmASep can dewater the product on the screen, apply vacuum, dry and discharge the dried product, eliminating the necessity for separate vacuum drying.
