Scalable Test Equipment for Real Process Conditions
From early-stage screening to scale-up validation, DrM offers lab and pilot-scale filter systems to test performance, optimize parameters, and support confident process decisions.
For Every Solid-Liquid Separation Challenge
Every process is different and so is every solid-liquid separation challenge. That’s why DrM filtration systems are engineered and customized to meet specific process requirements.From standard clarification to complex solids handling, our solutions combine advanced design with fully automated operation delivering consistent performance with minimal operator intervention.
Lab-Scale Filtration
Systems
DrM’s lab-scale filter systems are designed for early-stage trials, feasibility studies, and small-volume process development. These compact, manually operated units allow for rapid evaluation of filtration behavior, cake formation, washing efficiency, and discharge characteristics using minimal product.
Filter area range: 0.012–0.048 m²
Modular, benchtop-compatible designs
Manual operation for flexible test control
Ideal for process screening and concept validation
Available configurations: TSD, TSD-XL, Nutsche filter setups
Accessories for pressure, temperature, and flow adjustment
Pilot-Scale
Filtration Systems
Pilot-scale systems bridge the gap between lab trials and full-scale production. These units replicate the design and function of DrM’s industrial filters, allowing for accurate scale-up, cycle optimization, and process validation under real operating conditions.
Filter area range: 0.16–50 m²
Manual or automated operation
Scalable design based on FUNDABAC® or CONTIBAC®
Supports testing with filter aids (precoat/body feed)
Suitable for slurry, cake, and clarified filtrate processes
Available configurations: MONO, QUATTRO, HEPTA, CONTIBAC® RX pilot systems
Ideal for pre-commercial validation and performance optimization
