6. The manufacture of such products as penicillin, tetracycline, vitamins, and other pharmaceuticals, as well as photographic chemicals, dyes, and other fine organic compounds, usually requires separating the suspended solids from their mother liquid by centrifugation, and then drying the wet cake. A closed-loop system (figure) for centrifuge unloading, drying, conveying, and solvent recovery is comprised of equipment especially designed for handling materials requiring sterile and contamination-free conditions.
Given the experimental measurements on the pilot plant equipment outline in figure:
