Centrifuges for pilot plant duty
Applications :
A wide range of centrifuges for pilot plant or small-scale production
- For solid-liquid filtration or solid-liquid decantation.
- Can be used for simple or complex processes.
- Capable of a wide range of duties (explosive environments, hazardous materials, corrosive materials…)
- For all types of products, from bulk chemical to high value added products.
- For single products or multiple products.
Range :
Top discharge centrifuges (manual or removable filter bag) :
- Vertical basket centrifuge - Model RC 40 / 50 / 60
- Vertical decanters - Model SLAB 420 / 540
Other basket centrifuges :
- Automatic models : solids discharge via a scraper
- Simplified models : directly coupled motor
Top discharge centrifuges (manual or removable filter bag) :
Centrifugal filtration
Centrifugal Solid-Liquid separation using a perforated basket equipped with a filter cloth or removable filter bag.
|
 |
Centrifugal decantation
Centrifugal Solid-Liquid, Liquid-Liquid, or Solid-Liquid-Liquid separation in a solid bowl. Liquid removal using a skimmer or by overflowing the bowl rim.
|
