For the production of sterile pharmaceuticals, the pharmaceutical particles (a) are washed in a solvent (b) to remove any dirt and sterilize them by removing the outer particle layers together with impurities and any microbial contamination. For the production of sterile pharmaceuticals, the pharmaceutical particles (a) are washed in a solvent (b) to remove any dirt and sterilize them by removing the outer particle layers together with impurities and any microbial contamination. The detached particle skins are gathered and carried away by the solvent. The undissolved and cleaned particles settle as a sediment (c). The used solvent (d), together with its carried impurities, is passed through a sterile filtration (4,5), and the sediment (c) of cleaned particle matter is combined with the sterile filtrate (e) and then separated into solvent and sterile pharmaceutical material (f). The washing stage moves the particles against gravity or against a centrifugal action.
