Clean Separation, Reproducible Quality, Reliable Documentation.
In pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical production, controlled solid/liquid separation is crucial for yield, purity and compliance.
What the Pharma Industry Needs
Hygienic design and cleanability
CIP/SIP-capable per specification, smooth, low dead space, safe cake discharge
Material and Seal Resistance
to process media (acids/alkalis, solvents, cleaning chemicals, temperature)
Process Performance
Highest efficiency in yield and purity
Containment and security
up to ATEX/ESD requirements for solvents, low-leakage operation
Maintainability and availability
fast, reproducible cloth change; durable wear parts
Qualification and documentation
Proof of material and conformity, traceability
How does JVK® solve this?
Filter plate and membrane technology
- Chamber or membrane filter plates for short cycles and low residual moisture
- Materials as required (made of thermoplastic materials or TPEs)
Hygiene-Oriented Design
- Pharma write typical surfaces for areas in contact with the product, with a center roughness value Ra < 0.8 µm
Security and compliance
- Sealing/edge concepts for low-leakage operation.
Typical pharmaceutical use case
- Extraction & Washing of Intermediates
- With sterilization up to approx. 130 °C (process- and material-dependent / SIP); resistant materials and seals; validatable cleaning and sterilization cycles; clear filtrates for stable downstream steps.
- Filtration of Blood Plasma, Enzymes, Media, Syrup
- Gentle separation with low adsorption (cloth / surface selection), hygienic design, defined separation efficiency for protein- or biomolecule-sensitive applications.
- Enzyme Recovery
- Preservation of activity through adapted pressure profiles and short cycles; optimized washing sequences for product yield; CIP/SIP-compliant construction and documented parameters.
Why JVK® is the right partner
- Quality & Traceability: CoC/CoA, component and batch identification, complete documentation.
- Validation Expertise: Support for DQ/IQ/OQ, FAT/SAT documentation, change control-compliant implementation.
- Reproducibility through know-how and mold making: In-house mold making ensures precise, repeatable geometries and consistent surface quality – the basis for hygienic design.
- Industry Experience: Solutions for API crystallization, intermediates, excipient/media filtration, blood plasma/enzymes, and pharmaceutical side/wastewater streams.
- Made in Germany: Stable, traceable, based on partnership – with clear contact partners and service throughout the life cycle.
In short: JVK combines hygienic design, chemically and thermally resistant materials and valid process control - for clear filtrate and dry filter cakes in pharmaceutical production.
Flexible in spare parts service
You need replacement elements – that fit perfectly and are compatible? JVK supplies OEM-compatible chamber and membrane filter plates, seals and filter cloths for the most common systems – across all industries and documented.
Formats & materials:
150-4000 mm, in all standard formats and designs, various sealing concepts; PP/PVDF, membranes e.g. EPDM/NBR, FKM, TPE.
Optional: upgrades for greater efficiency and process reliability
- SnapFit® –Screwless connecting element for attachments and filter cloth fastening – reduces downtimes during operation.
- Post-press indicator: Early detection of process weaknesses(e.g. defective membranes and uneven filter cake build-up) for targeted optimization and more stable cycles.
Your advantage: OEM-compatible, a perfect fit – with useful upgrades for operation & quality.
