Industrial Centrifuge: A Guide To Filtration & Sedimentation Centrifuges
Industrial centrifuges are among the most basic machines in various industries employed to separate liquids from solids, or two liquids of a different density. The centrifugal force resulting from these machines helps to separate the materials efficiently. Industrial centrifuges are generally categorized into two major groups. These are: Filtration and Sedimentation centrifuges. Each type serves distinct purposes and is designed for specific industry applications. Filtration Centrifuge A filtration centrifuge employs a rotating basket with perforations to allow liquid to pass through while retaining solid particles. The use of these types is mostly possible when there exist materials to be separated composed of liquid and solids. Amongst the generally available types of filtration centrifuges, the most common ones are: Perforate Basket Centrifuge: This is the most dominant kind of filtration centrifuge, used for efficiency in separation process in batch activity of liquids from solid ...
