Horizontal pilot plant centrifuge for chemical processing
Enhance your R&D and pilot-scale processes with a centrifuge designed to efficiently separate and clarify solids from complex mixtures, supporting precise material handling and optimizing production upscaling.
Separates Solids from Slurries in Pilot Applications
The H 500 C and H 630 C from HEINKEL Drying & Separation Group are horizontal pilot plant basket centrifuges designed for versatile separation tasks in chemical and pharmaceutical applications. Their compact, tabletop-capable design allows easy integration into R&D, pilot, and small-scale production environments with a simple “plug and use” setup. With automatic operation, these centrifuges efficiently separate solids from slurries, making them ideal for processing APIs, specialty chemicals, food additives, and recycled metal flakes. Equipped to handle nominal volumes of 25 to 96 liters and centrifugal forces up to 2,028 x g, these units deliver precise separation performance. Available in materials suitable for corrosive environments, they ensure chemical compatibility and longevity. The centrifuges also meet industry standards for safety and operation, with options for customization to fit specific process requirements, supported by HEINKEL’s engineering expertise.
