Pilot decanter centrifuge for testing and upscaling
In industrial research and development, transitioning from laboratory-scale experiments to full-scale production requires precise and reliable testing equipment. This process often encounters challenges such as accurately predicting large-scale performance and maintaining process safety.
Ensures reliable scaling and process safety
The GEA pilotMaster is a robust pilot decanter centrifuge designed for seamless upscaling from testing to production. It offers maximum scale-up reliability with the flexibility of bowl speed ranging from 1,000 to 6,500 rpm, and a differential speed range of 1 to 80 rpm without needing to change the pulley set. The Hydro Drive enables easy and tool-free adjustment of differential speeds within five minutes. Constructed with high-alloyed duplex steels and Hastelloy C276, the GEA pilotMaster is equipped to handle diverse processing conditions. Explosion-protected variants compliant with ATEX standards are available, ensuring operational safety by using inert gas blanketing up to temperatures of 130 °C. Services like process-specific testing and analytics are supported by GEA’s separation test center, either on-site or at their facilities. Supplier: GEA.
