Pope Scientifi c’s Benchtop Nutsche Filter-Dryer is an All-in-One Solution

It’s the logical leap forward from laboratory Buchner funnels.

High purity chemicals, pharmaceutical intermediates, specialty solids and crystals can be: Filtered; Washed; Reslurried; Mixed; and Dried in this versatile jacketed, portable lab scale unit— providing chemists and researchers a powerful tool for testing, piloting and small production.

The effi cient operation reduces process time and minimizes worker and environment exposure. ASME certifi ed for safety.

Solvent removal can be aided by pressurizing; drying can be enhanced by vacuum plus optional heating and solids agitation.

Ideal for Pilot Work in Simulation of Larger Scale Nutsches

Choice of Agitators—Conventional or Cake Churning

Immediate Delivery—Various Sizes in Stock/ Larger Pilot Production Models also available
