Features

The RoLab is suitable for CIP and WIP and performs full filtration and drying processes according to cGMP and FDA standards. The vessel uses no hydraulics, therefore avoiding complicated installations and maintenance.  The lower bowl assembly can simply be wheeled out from underneath the upper part to allow for easy cleaning between batches.

With only five connections required for set up (460VAC, pressure/vacuum, nitrogen, slurry inlet, heating/cooling utilities), the RoLab’s basic installation is easy to perform.  Its compact design can be installed in very small areas.
