Semaglutide, hailed globally as a “miracle weight-loss drug,” has earned a spot on the annual lists of Science and Nature due to its remarkable clinical efficacy, and is regarded as a top contender for the next-generation “King of Drugs.” Its active ingredient is a peptide compound that is highly heat-sensitive and prone to degradation, imposing extremely stringent requirements on cleanliness, temperature control, and material residue levels throughout the manufacturing process.

During its collaboration with a pharmaceutical company specializing in semaglutide, Canaan Technology identified a key production pain point:

The original equipment suffered from low cleaning efficiency due to a single-impeller agitator design, which caused significant material residue. Each cleaning cycle took several hours, severely impacting production schedules.

To address the challenges of semaglutide manufacturing, Canaan leveraged its extensive experience in pharmaceutical equipment and applied fluid dynamics analysis to optimize equipment design. The result was the FWDF Series Agitated Nutsche Filter Dryer（ANFD）, which successfully tackled the efficiency bottleneck in the washing phase.



**1. Precision Design Driven by Fluid Modeling**

At the early design stage, Canaan Technology utilized Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to simulate the flow behavior of both the product and the washing liquid during the cleaning process. This allowed for an optimized internal flow field distribution within the equipment.

**2. Back-Blowing Technology: Revolutionizing Conventional Cleaning Logic**

Traditional washing relies on mechanical agitation and liquid rinsing. In contrast, Canaan introduced bottom back-blowing technology, where high-pressure gas is used to lift material deposits from the base of the equipment, enabling thorough mixing with the washing liquid.

This innovation not only shortens the washing cycle but can also be applied during the drying phase to accelerate moisture removal. Real testing has shown that back-blowing technology reduces the cleaning time from 3 hours to just 30 minutes—an 80% increase in efficiency.




**☆ Proven Benefits for Pharmaceutical Companies**

Canaan’s innovative solution delivered multidimensional improvements for the semaglutide pharmaceutical manufacturer:

Efficiency Boost: Washing time reduced by 80%

Cost Optimization: Less manual intervention and lower energy consumption, significantly reducing overall operational costs
