Nutsche Filter Dryer Production Scales

Pope Scientific offers Nutsche filter dryers in a wide variety of scales for your unique processing goals. We offer lab, pilot, and production scale Nutsches which are easily customized. 

Benchtop Nutsche Filter Dryers

Pope’s smaller lab scale Nutsche units provide chemists and researchers with a very powerful tool for testing, piloting and small scale processing. 

Standard Benchtop Nutsches

Our standard benchtop nutsche filter dryers are available in 6” diameter, with choice of 3, 4 or 5 liter volumes and are kept in stock for short delivery times. Stock units are ASME stamped and Category 1 CE/PED rated, (other certifications available), and pre-fitted with useful components including valves, sight glasses, pressure relief valve, spray assembly and pressure/vacuum gauge. The user can select optional jacketing or electric heating and optional choices of either motorized mixer or else up/down cake agitator in manual or motorized versions. Pope also now offers 4” diameter, 1 liter volume units as part of our stock fleet. Further information is available in our Benchtop Flyer.

Custom Benchtop Nutsches

Also offered in sizes as small as 3” diameter, volumes as small as 0.2 liters. Extent of componentry depends on size and other considerations. Larger units than the Standard Benchtop Nutsche are also available, though these 8” and larger diameters and weight of these brings them more into the domain of floor standing pilot category rather than Benchtop category. See our pilot plant nutsche filter dryers noted in our product gallery below.

In addition, Custom Benchtop Nutsche Filter Dryers can be designed for various requirements, including such features as custom stands, powder containment systems, funnel heads, instrumentation, heating/cooling circulators, alternate alloys and coatings, pumps, or other customization.

Pilot Plant & Small Production Scale Nutsche Filter Dryers

Pilot plant and small production scale Nutsches are a logical leap forward from the common Buchner funnel apparatus. Metallic Nutsches provide important advantages including: pressurization for faster filtering than vacuum draining alone, vessel vacuum and heating capability for efficient drying of filter cake, built-in spray heads for filter cake washing, and complete material containment for increased safety and purity.  Nutsches can also be fit with gas blanketing capability, as well as  mixers or cake agitators for churning/re-smoothing filter cake for greater drying efficiency. These lab units are also ideal for pilot work in the simulation of larger production-scale Nutsches.
