Bag Filter
Bag Filter
Mechotech engineers and manufactures the Bag Filter as turnkey process equipment for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food, and botanical processing lines that need economical, high-capacity particulate filtration. Each unit is designed around the client's specific process parameters and target output, then fabricated, installed, and commissioned by Mechotech as a single accountable scope.
The Bag Filter is built in SS 316L (or a process-appropriate grade) as a vessel housing one or more replaceable filter bags, through which the process liquid passes so suspended solids are retained on the bag media and periodically replaced, with electropolished product-contact surfaces and integrated instrumentation so it can be operated under PLC-based control. Capacity is configured to the customer's requirement, from pilot-scale systems for process validation to larger commercial installations with modular expansion, and every unit is delivered with full documentation to support GMP and regulatory qualification.
Manufacturing Process
Engineering & Design
Mechotech's process engineers size and configure the Bag Filter around the client's feed material, bag count, and target output specification before fabrication begins.
Fabrication & Assembly
The housing and bag support baskets are fabricated in SS 316L (or a process-appropriate grade), with instrumentation and control automation integrated during assembly rather than added afterward.
Installation & Commissioning
The completed system is installed at the client's site, commissioned, and performance-verified as a single accountable unit before handover.
Applications
- Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical process manufacturing
- Botanical and herbal extraction industries
- Food and flavour processing
- Export to regulated-market equipment buyers
Key Features
GMP-Compliant Construction
Electropolished product-contact surfaces meet WHO-GMP and Schedule M requirements, with housings designed for straightforward bag changeover.
Turnkey Engineering
Design, fabrication, installation, and commissioning are delivered as one accountable scope, so the client deals with a single engineering team from drawing to handover.
Scalable Capacity
The filter is sized to the customer's requirement, from pilot-scale validation through to commercial capacity, with modular expansion as production grows.
