Pilot-Scale Centrifuges for Process Development
Scaling up from laboratory experiments to industrial production requires reliable pilot-scale equipment. Whether you’re optimizing separation for pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, or food processing, you need a centrifuge that delivers repeatable results while offering the flexibility to refine process parameters.

Bridges the Gap Between Lab Testing and Full-Scale Production
The pilot plant centrifuges from Rousselet Robatel provide a scalable solution for solid-liquid separation, bridging the transition from R&D to full-scale manufacturing. Available in various configurations—including vertical basket centrifuges (RC 40 / 50 / 60), automatic discharge models (RC 63 / 85), vertical decanter centrifuges (DRC 40 / 50 / 60), and simplified axial motor designs (SA 40 / 50)—these units accommodate a wide range of process requirements.
Designed for flexibility, these centrifuges feature interchangeable rotors, allowing you to test different separation techniques without investing in multiple machines. They support filtration and decantation, providing precise control over separation parameters. The robust construction includes materials like 316L stainless steel and Hastelloy, ensuring compatibility with corrosive and high-purity applications.
With automation options available, these centrifuges can operate in batch or continuous modes, adapting to different production scales. Whether you’re processing small batches of specialty chemicals or validating pharmaceutical separation methods, these units deliver efficiency, reliability, and process scalability.
