Horizontal peeler centrifuge for filtration
Optimize your batch processing with a centrifuge designed for high-speed, efficient separation of solids from slurries, ensuring low residual moisture and superior product purity, ideal for demanding chemical and food applications.
Processes and Separates Solids, Slurries, and Cakes
The Krauss-Maffei Horizontal Peeler Centrifuge HZ by ANDRITZ Separation GmbH specializes in high-efficiency separation and purification of solids and slurries across the chemical, food, and pharmaceutical industries. This centrifuge employs a unique rotary siphon basket design, enhancing filtration capacity and purity by creating a vacuum beneath the filter cloth. With a throughput of up to 15 tons per hour, it meets the demands of batch-operated processes in applications such as starch dewatering and API purification. Its PLC-controlled automation allows precise process tailoring with adjustable speeds and cycle sequences, minimizing energy consumption. Constructed from materials like stainless steel, it offers resistance to corrosive environments, ensuring durability and compliance with industry standards. Maintenance is efficient with a fully accessible design, complemented by options for pneumatic or hydraulic heel removal for enhanced operability. The device supports integration within an existing production line with ease, facilitating optimal performance through customizable process parameters.
