Direct drive centrifuges for dairy and beverage processing

Reduce energy loss and maintenance

The Direct Drive Centrifuge by SPX Flow’s Seital Separation brand is engineered to address these challenges with its innovative design. Unlike traditional separators, it integrates the motor shaft directly as the centrifuge shaft, eliminating the need for intermediate mechanisms like gears or drive belts. This setup minimizes energy loss and allows for a more compact design, thus reducing maintenance requirements. The motor mounts beneath the centrifuge bowl, and its single shaft extends directly into the bowl, making energy transfer highly efficient. This type of centrifuge is ideal for dairy applications such as separating raw milk into skim milk and cream, and for bacterial clarification. It’s also well-suited for various beverage processing tasks including the separation of wine, tea, and coconut water, where energy savings and reduced maintenance can contribute to lower operational costs. In the brewing industry, it efficiently removes residual yeast and other non-soluble solids, helping to maintain the quality of flavor and aroma. The compact design also makes it beneficial for edible and essential oil processing, where space is limited.
