AAI/CML Expands Mfg. Capabilities in The Netherlands

AAIPharma Services Corp. / Cambridge Major Laboratories, Inc. (AAI/CML), has upgraded its small molecule manufacturing capabilities in Weert, Netherlands with the installation of a DE Dietrich Agitated Filter Dryer for controlled isolation of Intermediates and APIs. The new filter dryer provides a closed system unit for isolation and drying, designed to minimize operator exposure and provide a safer manufacturing environment.
 
The DE Dietrich Agitated Filter Dryer also has the ability to re-dissolve using a second solvent within one system with volume of 490 Liters, cake volume of 180 Liters and nominal filtration area of 0.6m².
 
“The investment in this technology has improved containment around isolation, enhanced the safety of our operating environment, and helped increase yields. Our highly active compounds can also be processed using this filter dryer with ancillary equipment, for customers that need additional protection for Occupational Exposure Limits (OELs),” said Ted Dolan, chief operating officer.  “We are pleased to continue to offer more options for customers with our expanding capabilities.”
