Equipment

Applications

Series P:

Design based on the original Escher Wyss system.
Continuous operation and unloading by mechanical thrust system (P-23) or hydraulic (rest of sizes).
Diameter from 230 to 1200mm.
Capacities up to 100 Tm / h (based on NaCl).
Glass sizes of 100 microns.
Minimum residual humidity, maximum energy optimization.
Maximum efficiency washing with the minimum loss of product, durable included in the most adverse operating conditions (mines, saline environments, refineries, ...).

Gypsum centrifuges VGC

Wet scrubbing processes are often used for flue gas desulphurisation FGD in coal fired power plants, waste incineration and cement plants. The gypsum generated by the FGD process can be washed and separated from the mother liquid by using gypsum centrifuges.

The Ferrum gypsum centrifuges offer highest availability in permanent production and even in extreme and irregular plant conditions.
Best solid-liquid separation performance guarantees high throughput as well as maximum purity and minimal residual moisture of the gypsum product.
The gypsum washed and dewatered in centrifuges has a very high quality and can be used in the building materials industry for gypsum wall boards etc.

VTC type: Vertical discharge top centrifuges

Vertical discharge top through filtering medium extraction.
Basket diameter from 320 to 800 mm.
Load capacity from 6.6 to 103 liters.
Designed for multiproduct, pilot plants or inclusion in insulator (mod.320-500).
Application: pharmaceutical laboratories and pilot plants..

The solids with top discharge centrifuges can be discharged vertically upwards manually, optionally using a filter bag and a lifting device or a special suction device. The applications range from pilot plants, small-quantity production to production applications in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

Robust design in accordance with the latest standards/GMP requirements.
Loosening scraper with vertical movement.
Reliable sealing of the bearing housing with sealing systems of the latest generation.
Easy maintenance due to modular design of the top discharge centrifuges.
Suitable for Ex zone 1 (according to directive 94/9/EC).
Pressure vessel design on request.

Serie VBC – Vertical Bottom discharge Centrifuge

Vertical with bottom discharge by scraper system.
Basket diameter from 630 to 1600 mm.

Automation optimized for each cycle or recipe.
Completely flooded for cleaning.
Finishes according to application needs.

The Vertical Scraper centrifuges VBC (Vertical Bottom discharge Centrifuge) include many application areas in the solid-liquid separation due to the modularity and the comprehensive range of optional equipment. The scraper centrifuges are used in the demanding continuous operation in the chemical and fine chemical industry or for complex pharmaceutical applications.

Robust design in accordance with the latest standards/GMP requirements.
Clean room design using membrane connection (motor below base plate).
Reliable sealing of the bearing housing with sealing systems of the latest generation.
Easy maintenance due to modular design.
Suitable for Ex zone 1 (according to directive 94/9/EC).
Pressure vessel design on request.

Serie HPZ: horizontal pharmaceutical centrifuges
