Centrifugal separation technology you can depend on. Whether in the chemical, pharmaceutical or food industry, our Krauss-Maffei horizontal peeler centrifuges have always excelled. These centrifuges are known for reliable operation at high capacities.
- Low residual moisture contents achieved by high spin speeds.
- High Flexibility for meeting changing process conditions.
Peeler centrifuges with rotary siphon:
The centrifuge design with rotary siphon offers substantial advantages:
- Increased filtration capacity through the generation of a vacuum beneath the filter medium.
- High product purity by varying the contact time between the solids and wash liquor.
- Prolonged life of the residual heel by regeneration through backwashing.
