SINGLE-USE APPLICATIONS

Chemistry

Noble Metal Recovery

Processes involving noble metals such as platinum, palladium, or gold require highly efficient recovery methods to reduce material loss and maximize yield. FUNDALOOP® provides a closed, single-use solution for the recovery of fine particulate metals from chemical processes, also in acid or basic environments. Its cake filtration process ensures high capture efficiency and enables cake washing to recover valuable product. The system supports hazardous environment compliance, offering both safety and scalability.

Catalyst Recovery

Catalyst recovery is essential in fine chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing to reduce costs and prevent downstream contamination. FUNDALOOP® enables efficient separation of spent or reusable catalyst particles from process liquids in a fully enclosed, single-use format. The cyclic operation and integrated back-flushing improve filtration efficiency, reduce waste, and allow for multiple cycles without manual intervention. Its compact design and ease of operation make it ideal for small batch and high-potency material handling.

Hazardous Material Contained Filtration

Handling hazardous or toxic substances demands a fully contained, operator-safe filtration process. FUNDALOOP® supports this requirement with a closed, single-use design that eliminates exposure risk and simplifies cleaning validation. It is ideal for filtration of reactive, corrosive, or high-potency materials, offering reliable solids separation and product recovery without the need for open handling or manual filter replacement.

Flavors and Fragrances

The production of flavors and fragrances often involves natural extracts, resins, or solids that require precise clarification. FUNDALOOP® enables efficient removal of waxes, plant debris, or undissolved ingredients while maintaining the aromatic integrity of sensitive compounds. Its closed, single-use setup reduces contamination risk and supports rapid changeover between product batches. With integrated cake washing and product recovery 
FUNDALOOP® is a flexible and clean alternative to traditional depth filtration or centrifugation.
