High-speed tubular centrifuges for solid-liquid separation
Efficiently separate microscopic solids from liquids in high-speed operations using these centrifuges, designed for precise handling of delicate fermenter suspensions and achieving high purity levels in processed end-products.
Separates and Stratifies Solid-Liquid Suspensions
The high-speed tubular centrifuge lineup from CEPA offers robust solutions for precise solid-liquid separation, tailored for industries including biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. This centrifuge operates on continuous feeding and manual solids discharge, achieving efficient separation through stratification of suspension components by density. It is ideal for applications such as microbial culture protein extraction and metal nanoparticle suspensions. The models—LE, LE GP, Z 11, Z 41, GP, GP ex, Z 61, Z 611, Z 101, GE—offer throughput capacities ranging from 15 to 3,000 liters per hour, with rotational speeds up to 60,000 min⁻¹, ensuring optimal processing efficiency. Available in GMP-compliant and explosion-proof versions, this centrifuge also features corrosion-resistant stainless steel options. It integrates well into existing production lines, providing customizable configurations and engineering support to meet specific operational requirements.
