Vertical Centrifuge Product Introduction
Vertical centrifuge is an industrial separation equipment designed for processing solid-liquid mixtures in pharmaceutical, chemical, and biotechnology industries. Constructed with stainless steel and often SS316L materials, it ensures hygienic operation and compatibility with GMP requirements. The system integrates drum, screw conveyor, differential drive, and control components to perform multi-stage separation including feeding, washing, and discharge. It is engineered to solve challenges of efficient particle separation, product purity, and low material damage. Suitable for pilot plants and large-scale production, it provides flexible discharge configurations and automated operation for stable and controlled processing.


Working Principle
Material is fed into the rotating drum where centrifugal force separates components by density. During rotation, heavier solid particles move outward and accumulate on the drum wall, while liquid phases move inward and are discharged through designated outlets. The system operates through sequential stages of feeding, separation, washing, and discharging. Adjustable control of rotation and differential speed ensures stable separation, while cleaning cycles restore system readiness for the next batch.
