Centrifuge

Sefar filter solutions for centrifugesCentrifuges operate on the principle of centrifugal force and a filter cloth to separate solids from liquids. High rotational speed provides high centrifugal force that allows the suspended solid in the feed to settle on the surface of a filter media. Washing processes can be applied at the same rotational speed and in the same centrifuge vessel. Centrifuges are used in discontinuous or batch operations. The use of dedicated Sefar fabrics allows reduction of the residual moisture in the filter cake to minimum values. Typical applications are in life science, Pharmaceutical (API, insulin, oncology), fine chemicals where high purity and closed filter systems are required. Further applications are in food (starch & tapioca), minerals (base and precious metals, coal, fertilizers and in environmental (FGD, gypsum).

 

Depending on the grade of automation, bulk size and solid discharge, there are different types of centrifuges in use that require a filter media:

Bag centrifuge (top discharge)

Peeler centrifuges (vertical and horizontal)

Inverting filter centrifuge

Sefar manufactures innovative filter solutions for all different types of centrifuges used in the chemical, mineral, pharmaceutical, food and life science industries.
