Safety and efficiency when manufacturing solid dosage forms in the pharmaceutical & chemical industries
Capsules and/or tablets are among the most commonly used forms of medication and dietary supplements. They are solid dosage formulations produced by compounding active ingredients and excipients under high pressure. Various granulates or powder blends are used in this process, which is why it is particularly important not only to ensure quantity accuracy in their production, but also to guarantee the release of active ingredients into the body through the recommended dosage.
For plant operators it is, therefore, essential to meet the highest quality standards while ensuring efficient and cost-effective production processes.
A significant component of the compression process in dry powder formulations, which is often undervalued, is the extraction system. These systems perform a key function in ensuring a healthy and safe working environment.
When compressing tablets, fine powdery particulate and dust are released, not only affecting the quality of the final product, but also posing a potential health hazard to the workforce. There is also a risk of airborne particles settling on machinery and systems, thereby impairing production efficiency and increasing servicing and cleaning costs.
The universal (H)EPA dry separator in compact format
Modern extraction systems, such as the Keller PCF-1 dry separator with contamination-free disposal, are therefore indispensable in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical production.
They not only help to ensure compliance with legal regulations and occupational safety guidelines but also improve product quality by preventing contamination (containment).
The highly efficient extraction system from Keller is revolutionizing your air purification:
- Easy & safe maintenance
- Efficient & economical
- Constructive explosion protection
- Contamination-free disposal up to OEB 5
- Compressed air pulse cleaning
- Durable & long service life

The Keller PCF-1 is designed to meet customer needs
In developing the PCF-1, great importance was placed on maximum flexibility and efficiency. The PCF-1 is available in various materials and external variants and designs:
Version with top-mounted fan:
This compact design makes it possible to remove dust where it is needed most.
Version with stand-alone fan:
This version is recommended for limited installation height or if increased fan performance is required.
Modular design:
By connecting several dry separators, the dedusting system can be customized and expanded to meet industrial production conditions (air flow, capacity, installation area, etc.). A centralized disposal unit is
possible, as well.
We prepare your team specifically for the safe handling of containment measures - from changing filter cassettes to dust disposal. As an option, we offer aids such as a mountable storage table that facilitates the changing process.
Once your extraction system has been commissioned, our experienced after-sales team with a competent crew of service technicians will take care of the regular inspection and maintenance of your extraction systems - worldwide!
