Vertical pilot plant centrifuge for chemical industry
Optimize your lab and pilot plant operations with this mobile centrifuge, designed for versatile testing and precise scaling of processes from filtration to sedimentation.

Facilitates Centrifuging, Filtration, Sedimentation, and Classifying
The Vertical Pilot Plant Centrifuge V 300 – 500 TC, part of HEINKEL Process Technology, is engineered for exceptional versatility in chemical and pharmaceutical pilot testing. Its mobile, compact design allows seamless integration into R&D and pilot plant operations. Designed to meet cGMP requirements, the centrifuge excels in small-scale production with its basket configuration suitable for filtration, sedimentation, and classifying of solids, slurries, and cakes.
Featuring a jacketed design for precise temperature control, it supports both heating and cooling during processing. The centrifuge is highly efficient with minimal installation effort, making it ideal for rapid pilot-line scale-up. Material options cater to diverse chemical compatibilities, ensuring longevity in corrosive environments. The series offers a range of capacities up to 0.47 m² filter area, supporting up to 620 liters, and operates efficiently with centrifugal forces reaching up to 2,054 x g. This equipment is indispensable for manufacturers in pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and food production sectors looking for precision and reliability in pilot-scale operations.
