Solid Liquid Separator December 31, 2024 Centrifuge

Centrifuges are highly efficient separation devices offering advantages such as high separation efficiency, large production capacity, compact structure, operational safety and reliability, and small footprint.

In industrial production, centrifuges are primarily used as post-treatment equipment for processes such as dewatering, concentration, clarification, purification, and particle classification.

They are now widely utilized across various industries, including chemical, petroleum, light industry, food, pharmaceuticals, textiles, metallurgy, coal, marine, and national defense sectors.

Examples of Applications:

Chemical and Fertilizer Industry:
- Separation of ammonium bicarbonate or ammonium sulfate crystals from mother liquor.
- Dehydration of soda ash in soda factories.
- Catalyst dewatering in ammonia synthesis processes.
- Dehydration of phosphogypsum in phosphate fertilizer production.
Petrochemical Industry:
- Dewatering of petrochemical products such as polypropylene and polystyrene.
- Purification and refinement of various oils in the petroleum industry.
Environmental Treatment:
- Sludge dewatering during the treatment of industrial waste, wastewater, and other environmental processes.
Food and Sugar Industries:
- Separation of sugar syrup in sugar production processes.
Pharmaceutical Industry:
- Separation of various pharmaceutical crystals.
Textile Industry:
- Washing and dewatering of various fibers and rinsed materials.
Evaporation and Crystallization Systems:
- In brine solution evaporation systems, centrifuges are used to separate salts produced during the crystallization process, forming an essential part of the entire evaporation system.

Centrifuges have become indispensable in many industrial processes, significantly enhancing production efficiency and product quality across a wide range of applications.
