Pharmaceuticals & APIs separation
Define product-contact materials, wash purity, containment and cleaning requirements before selecting the machine. Through-wall arrangements and accessible process surfaces can be evaluated against the project URS.
Define the duty before the model.
- Product and solvent analysis
- Batch quantity and campaign schedule
- Cleaning and containment targets
- Documentation and qualification scope
Equipment families to evaluate
GKF

PQFB / PQFD
Full Opening Clean-Design Centrifuges
Full-opening vertical centrifuge configurations that emphasize inspection and access to product-contact surfaces.

The engineering conversation
Specify contact materials, surface requirements, seals, drainability, access and transfer interfaces. Define how product and drive areas are separated if a through-wall arrangement is required. Describe expected batch recipes and records without assuming that every control system includes a complete electronic-records package. Cleaning and sterilization are different functions; optional steam treatment needs its own design and qualification basis.
GKF, PLD, FW and clean-opening configurations can be compared against the URS. Ask the supplier to mark each requirement as included, optional, excluded or needing clarification. Regulatory suitability must be established for the actual installation and process; do not treat a generic catalogue claim as site validation.
