Horizontal peeler centrifuge for filtration
In the chemical, petrochemical, and food industries, efficient separation and filtration of solid-liquid mixtures are critical for product quality and process effectiveness. Traditional separation methods often struggle with high solid throughput and maintaining product purity, leading to process inefficiencies.
Improves filtration rate and product purity
The Krauss-Maffei horizontal peeler centrifuge HZ from ANDRITZ is a batch-operated filtration solution known for its high capacity and reliable performance. Distinguished by its rotary siphon feature, it significantly enhances filtration capacity by creating a vacuum beneath the filter cloth, which boosts filtration pressure. This centrifuge offers superior product purity by adjusting the filtration rate to prolong contact time between the wash liquid and solids, producing a purer cake. The rotary siphon basket design allows for smoother operation, as it feeds into a liquid pool to achieve uniform solids distribution without vibration. This centrifuge is adaptable to various process requirements, ensuring high product quality and peak capacity. Suitable applications include bulk chemicals, fine chemicals, and food processing. It supports residual heel removal through backwashing or pneumatic and hydraulic methods, ensuring longevity and maintaining filtration performance. The unit accommodates particle sizes from 2 to 500 μm with a solids throughput of up to 15 t/h and a basket volume ranging from 2.5 to 1,900 liters.
