Industrial centrifuges play a crucial role in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, food processing, wastewater treatment, and chemical manufacturing. These machines use centrifugal force to separate solids from liquids, improving efficiency and product quality. However, with different types of industrial centrifuges available, choosing the right one can be challenging.

At Reyes Machinery, we specialize in providing top-quality industrial centrifuge equipment that meets the needs of various industries. In this guide, we’ll explore the different types of industrial centrifuges we offer and how to choose the best one for your applications.

Understanding Industrial Centrifuge Equipment

Industrial centrifuge equipment falls into two main categories: filtration centrifuges and sedimentation centrifuges. The main difference between them is how they separate solid particles from liquid.

Filtration centrifuges use a rotating basket with perforations to allow liquid to pass through while retaining solids.

Sedimentation centrifuges rely on centrifugal force to separate solid particles in a bowl without perforations, allowing the liquid to drain through an outlet passage.

All types of industrial centrifuges serve specific applications and industries. Below, we will examine the filtration and sedimentation centrifuges to help you make the right choice.

Filtration Centrifuges

1. Perforate Basket Centrifuge (Batch Basket Centrifuge)

The perforate basket centrifuge is a versatile industrial centrifuge commonly used in industries requiring batch solid-liquid separation. One of its most popular applications is hemp washing with ethanol, where plant material is separated from liquid solvents.

Key Features:

• 304 and 316L stainless steel construction for durability and sanitary processing.

• Explosion-proof motor to ensure safe operation in volatile environments.

• Sealed structure to prevent contamination and maintain purity.

• Touch screen PLC control for automation and ease of use.

This centrifuge is ideal for botanical extraction, chemical processing, and pharmaceutical applications.

2. Pusher Centrifuge

Pusher centrifuges are well-suited for continuous industrial run in high-flow processes. Pusher centrifuges are used for chemical processing, mining, and sewage treatment.

Key Features:

• Continuous operation for high-efficiency separation.

• Robust design for handling abrasive materials.

• Automated solid discharge to minimize manual intervention.

It ideally serves such high-capacity large-scale solid-liquid separation businesses. 

3. Peeler Centrifuge

Peeler centrifuge is batch-filtration-type centrifuges. On a mechanically decanted discharge basis, from the drum, thus separating highly fine particles effectively. 

Key Features:

• Automatically operable for cost minimization regarding manual operations.

• Maximum level of effectiveness of solid particles on the micro  end of fine scale particles separation. 

• Equipment dimensions and types are made adaptable in line with requirements in business.

It is best suited for high-purity separation applications in pharmaceuticals, food processing, and chemical processing.

Sedimentation Centrifuges

4. Decanter Centrifuge

The decanter centrifuge is the best kind of industrial centrifuge to handle high-solid content liquids. It is extensively employed in the treatment of wastewater, oil refining, and different chemical processes.

Key Features:

• Large-capacity processing, best suited for industrial usage in bulk.

• Continuous processing, less downtime, more efficiency.

• Drum sizes could be tailored based on different applications.

This centrifuge is ideal for industries that need effective sludge dewatering, solid recovery, and liquid clarification.

5. Disk Stack Centrifuge

A disk stack centrifuge is a high-speed industrial centrifuge used for separating fine solids from liquids and separating immiscible liquids. It is widely used in pharmaceuticals, dairy, food, and beverage industries.

Key Features:

• Compact design that saves space.

• High-speed rotation for rapid separation.

• Effective for fine particle separation and oil-water separation.

This centrifuge is best suited for high-purity separation processes where fine particle removal is essential.

6. Tubular Bowl Centrifuge

A tubular bowl centrifuge is ideal for separating small amounts of fine solids from liquids. It is commonly used in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and essential oil extraction.

Key Features:

• High-speed operation for effective fine particle separation.

• Compact design, making it easy to install and operate.

• Ideal for low-solid concentration liquids.

This centrifuge is particularly useful in medical research, biotechnology, and high-purity chemical production.

Which Industrial Centrifuge Is Right for You?

Selecting the right types of industrial centrifuges depends on several factors, including:

Solid content in the liquid: High solid content? Choose a decanter centrifuge.

Batch vs. continuous processing: Need continuous operation? A pusher centrifuge is ideal.

Particle size: For fine particles, disk stack centrifuges work best.

Industry-specific needs: For botanical extraction, a perforate basket centrifuge is perfect.

If you are uncertain about which centrifuge is best for your needs, our experts can help you make the right choice.
