Chemical and mineral processing centrifuge
Optimize your chemical and mineral extraction processes with this high-performance decanter centrifuge, ideal for efficient separation and dewatering, reducing moisture levels while maximizing clarity and purity in your applications.
Separates and Dewaters Liquids and Solids
The 2-Phase Decanter Centrifuge chemMaster from GEA is engineered to deliver superior performance in chemical, mineral, food, and pharmaceutical processing. This centrifuge efficiently clarifies and dewaters mixtures by utilizing a solid-wall bowl with cylindrical and conical sections, enabling precise separation and drying of solids. It features a GEA summationdrive for high differential speeds and torque, ensuring high processing capacities. Common applications include ammonium sulfate purification, lithium carbonate refining, brewery yeast recovery, and wastewater sludge treatment. With the ability to handle continuous and automatic operations, it can process a wide range of product types, including liquids, slurries, solids, and cakes.
Automation is seamless with frequency-controlled motors and remote monitoring capabilities, while its energy-efficient design minimizes consumption. Constructed from high-alloyed duplex steels and Hastelloy C276, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. The centrifuge is CIP-compatible, supporting effective cleaning and maintenance, and complies with strict European ATEX explosion protection standards. Customization and engineering support are available to tailor configurations according to specific operational requirements.
