Overview
Biotechnology is commonly classified using a color-code metaphor; it spans traditional biological processes and modern genetic engineering. Macfuge supports development of pilot plants and test units to identify suitable separation solutions for innovative bioprocesses. Selecting and scaling a centrifugal separator for a new biotechnological application requires evaluation of feed characteristics, desired separation outcome and process continuity.

Biotechnology classifications

• traditional: agriculture, zootechnics, use of microorganisms for fermentation and biological transformation.
• innovative: from early vaccines and DNA replication discoveries to contemporary genetic engineering and advanced bioprocesses.

Centrifugal separators
Centrifugal separators separate and recover solids, biomass and target products from biological media. They are established in many traditional processes and increasingly applied to innovative biotechnologies. Key selection factors include G-force, residence time, solids handling (manual vs automatic) and materials compatibility with biological media.

Macfuge BT series
The Macfuge BT series is offered in three main formats to cover laboratory validation through industrial clarification.

Macfuge BT test units
for lab, research, demo and batch processing

• ideal to validate or investigate new cultivation methods, species, extracts and downstream steps.
• available with solid-retaining (manual cleaning) drums for batch use or self-cleaning (automatic discharge) drums; designs are scalable to larger capacities.

Macfuge BT custom modules
for continuous processing

• plug-and-play modules for straightforward installation in diverse environments.
• small and medium sizes replicate industrial flowrates to start continuous production at pilot or mid-scale capacity.

Macfuge BT industrial
larger clarifiers for industrial processing

• high-capacity units derived from extensive experience in industrial liquid clarification.
• customizable with accessories for in-line integration to meet established industrial process requirements.

Applications

• fermentation broths
• biomass harvesting
• bacterial and cell cultures
• vaccine production
