Model BXP 012


Model BXP-130P - Mono-Stage Centrifugal Extractor

Configured as a battery of mono-stage centrifugal extractors when mounted in series (from one to four stages for rental campaigns), the specific number of extraction, scrubbing and stripping stages can be independently optimized. The turbine and mixing chamber act as a pump to draw the liquids from the contiguous stages, and transfer the mixed phases into the decantation chamber where the two liquids are thoroughly separated. The Model BXP 130P is manufactured from PVDF for processing flexibility.
Number of Stages1 to 4
Rotor Diameter135 mm
Total Operating Volume1.3 liters
Throughput700 liters per hour (3 GPM)
Turbine Rotational Speed1750 rpm
