Applications
Hygienic Flat-Plate Top-Discharge Filtration Centrifuge: industrial applications
Applications include pharmaceutical and fine chemicals and food and ingredients. Confirm material properties and process conditions before selecting the equipment configuration.
Food and ingredients
Starch, sugar, salt, soda ash and other food or ingredient slurries requiring hygienic batch separation.
Inorganic salts and minerals
Gypsum, ammonium sulfate, sodium sulfate, ferric sulfate, copper sulfate, nickel sulfate, potassium chloride, borax and acid-leach gypsum.
Metals and environmental processing
Copper, zinc and aluminum products, metal refining residues, water-treatment sludge and municipal or industrial wastewater sludge, subject to material review.
Working Principle
From feed preparation to finished product.
The process route is selected around the material and product targets.
Controlled charging
Feed the suspension into the basket at the selected operating speed while monitoring the permissible batch load.
Centrifugal filtration
The liquid phase passes through the filter medium and leaves through the outlet; solids remain as a cake inside the basket.
Cake washing
Where required, distribute wash liquid across the cake to displace mother liquor and remove soluble impurities.
Dewatering
Continue high-speed rotation until the cake reaches the specified residual-moisture target.
Top-side discharge
After safe deceleration and cover release, remove the cake by manual top discharge on available configurations or by the applicable bag-lifting arrangement on available configurations.
Performance Highlights
Process performance shaped around the product.
Final performance remains dependent on feed properties and engineering confirmation.
Broad material compatibility
Suitable for washing and solid-liquid separation of particulate suspensions and selected fibrous materials.
Gentle crystal handling
Batch filtration and top-side cake removal help minimize unnecessary crystal breakage.
GMP-oriented hygiene
Polished contact surfaces, cleanable internal geometry and optional CIP support high-hygiene manufacturing.
Unrestricted maintenance access
The full-flip cover exposes the complete basket for inspection, cleaning and rapid filter-cloth replacement.
Low-contamination drive design
The enclosed modular drive space helps prevent belt-wear dust and external matter from entering the process area.
Stable variable-speed operation
VFD starting and stepless speed adjustment support smooth operation across charging, filtration, washing and dewatering stages.
Layered safety architecture
Configurable inerting, seals, monitoring and interlocks support hazardous materials and controlled production areas.
System Configuration
Standard process path with project-specific options.
Core equipment and auxiliary systems are selected around the process duty.
Full-opening process chamber
The operating range is selected for the material and confirmed for the quoted configuration.
Hygienic product-contact construction
Precisely finished stainless steel or selected corrosion-resistant alloys and coatings provide smooth, drainable, easy-to-clean contact surfaces without avoidable hygienic dead zones.
Enclosed drive module
A modular enclosed drive space isolates belt-wear particles and external contaminants from the clean process area.
CIP cleaning
An optional clean-in-place system supports comprehensive internal washing and sanitization for GMP-oriented production.
Drive and safeguards
Variable-frequency starting and stepless speed control are complemented by selectable vibration, cover-open, overload and electromechanical interlocks.
Containment and explosion protection
Optional nitrogen blanketing, liquid or gas seals and explosion-protected electrical systems support toxic, flammable or explosive duties after project-specific centrifuge assessment.
