Micropore -Model AXF-7 (1500kg/hr) -Membrane Emulsification Technology
The AXF-7 is a high capacity device, offering a further scale up of Micropore’s membrane emulsification technology, to enable the continuous manufacturing of up to 1500kg/hr of high-quality emulsions a year, whilst retaining the same tightly controlled particle size precision that is a feature of all Micropore`s devices.
- 316 electropolished stainless steel body, with ergonomic triclamp (rather than pushfit or screwed) connections, allows for easy sterilisation.
- With no moving parts, it is an elegant and robust device for continuously manufacturing high quality emulsions
- The internal tubular membranes are precision engineered with laser drilled pores along their lengths, allows for the manufacture of near mono-dispersed particles/droplets (CV in the range 12-15%)
- Phase concentration of up to 40% and more
- Production volume capacity of up to 1500kg/hr
- Low energy use
The crossflow approach involves the dispersed phase being injected into the middle ports, where it is distributed along the length of the internal membranes and through the pores.
All Micropore equipment uses precision engineered stainless steel membranes. These membranes provide:
- Tightly controlled pore size
- No tortuous paths
- Easy to clean
- Robust
- Pore sizes ranging from 3 - 350µm
The Micropore XF systems can be specified and set-up using data generated on the Micropore LDC and LTS. This allows production can be readily scaled up to a manufacturing process offering:
- Continuous production process
- Kilo tonne/ year capability
- Small footprint
- cGMP / FDA ready
- Aseptic high volume manufacturing scale crossflow unit
- Suitable for producing mono-sized droplet sizes between 10 and 1000 microns
- Capable of continuous production up from1500kg/hr
- Utilises stainless steel tubular membranes suitable for either oil-in-water or water-in oil dispersions.
- Easy to set up and maintain with no moving parts
- Low energy - with resulting preservation of sensitive materials
- Tight control and operational flexibility
- Operational stability under different flow rates
- Training available
