Many chemical and process operations rely on liquids that pick up solids or separate into phases over time. Centrifugal separation offers a way to clarify those liquids and recover usable product without relying on disposable filter media.
Where the contamination comes from
Process liquids collect fine particulates from reactions, equipment wear and handling. Solvents used for cleaning carry away the residues they dissolve. Some mixtures slowly separate into layers of differing density.
How centrifugal separation helps
A centrifuge accelerates the separation that gravity would otherwise do slowly, pulling denser solids and liquids out of the stream. That can shorten settling times, help recover solvents for reuse, and concentrate waste into a smaller volume.
Check compatibility first
Chemical applications vary widely. Fluid compatibility with wetted materials, operating temperature, and flammability all need to be reviewed for your specific process. Enclosed models with explosion-proof motors are available for some applications; see centrifuging low-flashpoint liquids. Please contact us with your fluid details before selecting equipment.
Typical uses
- Clarifying process liquids that carry fine solids
