- CentrifugesIndustrial centrifuges are used to separate, extract or wash products or materials in continuous, batch, industrial or environmental operations. Centrifuges are devices that separate solids from liquids when the two are mixed together. This separation occurs using the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the centrifuge bowl. Solids are separated from liquids using high speed gravity. Many industrial processes use centrifugation to separate liquid phases and solids from each other. They are often used to extract liquids from solid material in chemical, pharmaceutical, textile, and wastewater treatment processes. The different types we stock include basket, decanter, peeler, pusher, separator or disc bowl and inverting bag centrifuges. Manufacturers include Alfa Laval, Bird, Broadbent, Heinkel, Humboldt, Ferrum, Krauss Maffei, Flottweg, Sharples,Westfalia. Please see below our inventory currently in stock.
- Basket CentrifugesBasket centrifuges or batch centrifuges can also be described as centrifugal filters or clarifiers. They are most commonly used in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries are known for being versatile and reliable. They have a perforated wall and cylindrical tubular rotor. In many cases the outer wall of a basket centrifuge consists of a fine mesh screen or a series of screens with the finer mesh screens supported by the heavier coarse screen, which in turn is supported by the bowl. The liquid passes through the screen, and the particles too large to pass through the screen are deposited. Manufacturers of basket centrifuges include Broadbent, Ferruum, Heinkel, Rousselet.
- Decanter CentrifugesDecanter centrifuges are used in the chemical, oil, food and waste water industries to seperate solid materials from liquid slurries. A solid bowl decanter consists of two horizontal concentric rotating elements contained in a stationary casing. The outer rotating bowl element is tapered so that solids discharge from a smaller radius then the liquor. The inner element is a hollow hub and helical screw conveyor with blades profiled to fit closely to the contour of the bowl. Feed slurry is introduced into the hollow hub by either pump or gravity, and as this automatically accelerates to machine speed the slurry is transferred by centrifugal force into the rotating bowl via discharge ports, where solids settle through the liquor pool formed on the wall of the bowl. There is a slight differential speed between the rotation of the bowl and that of the screw conveyor, which allows the solids to be conveyed continuously along the bowl wall, out of the pool and up the tapered drying beach towards the final solids discharge ports. As for the clarified liquor it discharges continuously in the opposite direction through adjustable overflow ports. Employed as a classifier, the solid bowl decanter effects sharp size cuts of…
- Disc Bowl CentrifugesDisc bowl centrifuges, conical plate centrifuges or disc stack separators as they are know are often used in the dairy and brewery industries and more recently they have been used in the bio diesel industry. The disc bowl type centrifuge operates at speeds of 3,000 to 20,000 times gravity, providing a continuous clarification system that is suitable for materials with a solids content of 1-2% or less. It is designed to separate either a solid/liquid, liquid/liquid or liquid/liquid/solid suspension on a continuous basis. Solids settle on the wall of the bowl and are discharged either manually or automatically by intermittent opening of the bowl. The disc stack greatly increases the effective settling/clarification area, and the liquid and solid phases travel up or down the disc surfaces. The liquid discharges through one or more paring discs. Manufacturers of disc bowl centrifuges include Alfa Laval, Flottweg, GEA Westfalia. Below is a list of used disc bowl centrifuges we currently have in stock.
- Inverting Bag CentrifugesThe inverting bag centrifuge is an automatic, horizontal machine, incorporating an automatic unloading bag. Inverting bag centrifuges are often used in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food and chemical industries. The front and rear basket walls are pushed forward by a hydraulic unloading bag. The front and rear basket walls are pushed forward by a hydraulic piston to discharge the solids. The filter cloth is arranged as a cylinder, with the rear edge secured to the rear basket wall and the front edge to the basket shell at the front rim. As the piston moves forward, the cloth is turned inside out and the solids discharged in clumps into the solids collection housing. Inverting bag centrifuges are primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry and provide heel removal after each cycle, but are limited to smaller sizes and capacities. Manufacturers include Heinkel and Comi Condor.
- Peeler CentrifugesPeeler centrifuges can offer both a filtering and sedimenting/decanting capability, and is particularly suitable to processing materials in the ultra-clean environment of the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries. Two types of peeler centrifuge exist: a heavy-duty chemical design and a GMP design. Peeler centrifuges have either perforated baskets and screen membranes for filtering processes or solid bowls for decanting. The centrifuge has a fully opening front-end casing, which allows safe operator inspection of the interior. It also posseses an automatic peeler knife mechanism for final cake removal which can under certain circumstances allow final solids to be removed at high speeds, though not all products are suitable. In an attempt to automatically remove the troublesome residual heels found in virtually all batch filtering centrifuges most manufacturers install various heel removal devices – a feature that would provide complete batch-to-batch containment as well as increased product yield. High g forces and increased discharge speeds means the peeler centrifuge uses shorter cycle times, which can be adjusted to ensure a range of washing capabilities. It can be used for applications where feed slurry has a low or fluctuating solids concentration. Manufacturers of peeler centrifuges include Alfa Laval, Comi Condor, Krauss-Maffei and Sharples.
- Pusher CentrifugesPusher centrifuges are continous filtering type centrifuges used in the separation of solids and liquids. They are mainly used in the production of bulk chemicals, agrochemicals, plastics and foodstuffs. This type of filtering centrifuge not only operates on a continuous basis, but also provides long residence times. Solids are retained as a cake on a wedge wire basket from where it is transported by an oscillating pusher mechanism in the direction of the solids discharge. Feed solids can be granular, crystalline or fibrous, and relatively incompressible. Manufacturers include Alfa Laval, Andritz, Baker Perkins, Krauss-Maffei and Ferrum. Please view our inventory of used pusher centrifuges below.

- Centrifugal PumpsCentrifugal pumps are the most common types of pumps used in the chemical, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, oil and gas and other related industries. The reason they are so common is there simplistic design and durability. They are designed for transferring liquids with relatively low viscosity at high flow rates. Although there are many different configurations of centrifugal pumps they essentially consist of a shaft driven impeller that rotates within a casing. With a typical centrifugal pump fluid enters the suction port or casing inlet and the rotating impeller accelerates the flow of the fluid. The centrifugal force moves the fluid towards the outer edge of the impeller. As a result fluid is transferred under pressure through the discharge port or outlet. Manufacturers of centrifugal pumps include Durco, KSB, Ingersoll Dresser, HMD Kontro, APV, Labour, Sterling and many more.
