Product overview
200 Series – Vertical Batch Centrifuge (Manual)
The 200 Series is a vertical batch centrifuge with manual discharge, designed for maximum process control and flexibility.
Key features:
- Manual discharge of solids (full control over the batch process)
- Filter (200F) and decanter (200D) models available
- Suitable for products that are difficult to discharge automatically
- Compact and low-maintenance design
- Capacity: approx. 4 – 550 dm³
- High rotational speed for efficient separation
Process capabilities:
- Intensive washing steps
- Variable spin time (batch optimization)
- Suitable for ATEX / explosive environments
- Typical Applications:
- Pharmaceutical and fine chemical processes
- Difficult-to-process or sticky products
- Small to medium-sized batch production
Supercentrifuge (ultra-high G-force)
The SRP is a high-speed vertical tubular centrifuge designed for extremely precise separations.
Key features:
- Very high centrifugal force up to approx. 15,000 G
- Suitable for both:
- Solid-liquid clarification (SRP-C)
- Liquid-liquid separation (SRP-S)
- Continuous or semi-continuous operation
- Manual discharge of solids
- Compact vertical design with a small footprint
- GMP-compliant design for pharmaceutical applications
Process capabilities:
- Removal of very fine particles from liquids
- Separation of immiscible liquids
- Adjustable residence time and feed rate
Options:
- CIP/SIP cleaning systems
- Heating/cooling
- Explosion-proof design (ATEX)
Typical applications:
- Biotechnology (cell separation, fermentation)
- Pharmaceuticals (sterile and high-purity processes)
- Chemicals (extraction and refining)
- Food (clarification of liquids)
Key benefits
- Maximum separation precision: from batch to ultra-high-speed centrifugation
- Flexibility: manual or high-performance
- Safety: suitable for ATEX and closed processes
- Hygiene: GMP-compliant designs available
- Compact design: minimal footprint
- Process control: adjustable parameters and reproducible results
