Disc-Type Continuous Centrifuge

The DISC-type centrifuge is a continuous centrifuge in which the mixture passes between dozens of rotating discs under strong centrifugal force, automatically separating and discharging liquids and solids of different specific gravities as clarified liquid and solids.

Equipped with SIP (Sterilization-In-Place) and CIP (Cleaning-In-Place) functions, it supports both small-scale pilot operations and large-scale industrial processes.

Key Features

  • Ease of handling and simple operation
  • High sludge recovery rate
  • Custom-built according to customer requirements
  • Complete package and user-friendly interface
  • Optimal solution based on sample testing
  • Excellent clarity of separated liquid
  • Classification of separated solids
  • Touch screen controller (speed, time settings, etc.)
  • Integration with pilot fermenter for continuous separation process
