Basket Centrifuge Product Introduction
The basket centrifuge is a vertical batch-type separation equipment designed for solid–liquid separation based on centrifugal force. It uses a perforated basket and filter medium to retain solid particles while allowing liquid to pass through during high-speed rotation. Constructed from 304 and 316L sanitary stainless steel, it ensures durability and hygienic operation. The system supports variable speed control, bi-directional washing, and low-temperature operation. It is suitable for processes requiring solid recovery, liquid clarification, and washing cycles, especially in industries handling sensitive or temperature-controlled materials.


Working Principle
The basket centrifuge operates by rotating a perforated basket at high speed to generate centrifugal force. When the feed material enters the basket, solid particles are retained by a filter medium while the liquid phase passes through the perforations. The retained solids form a layer on the basket wall. After separation, the machine can perform washing and spin-drying cycles to improve purification efficiency. The basket then slows down, and solids are manually or mechanically discharged, completing the batch separation process.
