What is the industrial centrifuge?

The definition of industrial centrifuge
The industrial centrifuge is a branch of centrifugal machine, it makes use of centrifugal force to separate liquid and solid particle, and the mix ingredients from different fluid. The industrial centrifugal machine is a media-large size production equipment. The machine has an operating cylinder, called a drum, which rotates at high speed around its axis and is usually electrically driven. After the suspension (or emulsion) is added to the drum, these samples are being driven and rotating drum rotate at the same speed. The speed of industrial centrifuge is usually between 5,000 r/min and 20,000 r/min. In generally, the drum speed is higher, the separation effect is better. It is a large sample handing capacity.

The applications of industrial centrifuge
The industrial centrifuge has a common using in the field of chemical, pharmaceutical, textile, food industry, mineral processing, coal, water treatment and ship applications and other departments. It usually be used in a medium and large factories and it has is a large sample handing capacity.

Types of industrial centrifuge

There are so many kinds of industrial centrifuges because of its extensive use. Therefore, we can divide into five types roughly:

From structure: plate centrifuge, link-suspended basket centrifuge, horizontal decanter centrifuge, tubular centrifuge, disc centrifuge
From segregation pattern: sedimentation industrial centrifuge and filter industrial centrifuge
From discharging way: top/bottom discharge, helical-conveyor centrifugal
From production capacity: Large centrifuge (large capacity centrifuge) and small centrifuge (small capacity centrifuge)
From purpose: Biological centrifuge, pharmaceutical centrifuge, chemical centrifuge, food centrifuge, dairy centrifuge, oil centrifuge, coal rare earth centrifuge, mining centrifuge, sewage centrifuge, waste water centrifuge and so on.

In general, no matter what category you divide it into, industrial centrifuge has five models to be widely used which are plate centrifuge, link-suspended basket centrifuge, horizontal decanter centrifuge, tubular centrifuge, disc centrifuge. All the separations in the industry are based on these five models.

Sedimentation centrifuge VS solid liquid separation centrifuge

Sedimentation centrifuge

The shape of rotor drum in sedimentation industrial centrifuge is a close-barrel. This operating principle utilize centrifugal force to separate solid and liquid materials. This sedimentation industrial centrifuge has a wide application because there are various materials can be used in this device. For example, the high viscosity of material and tiny solid particle can be use in sedimentation industrial centrifuge to reach segregation.

Solid liquid separation centrifuge

The mean of industrial centrifuge is that there are some holes in the rotor drum. Additional filter medium through the interception to reach the separate the solid and liquid. The filter industrial centrifuge can be use in the solid particle sample which is low viscosity and not easy to cause deformation such as crystalline. It is used frequently for industrial dehydration.

Industrial centrifuge VS Laboratory centrifuge

Industrial centrifuge machine

The industrial centrifuge machine which is a table top discharge clearance operation. It is appropriate for chemical, food, pharmaceutical, environmental protection, mining, teaching and other laboratory use. Industrial laboratory centrifuge can be used to confirm the technological parameters of material separation, and it can also be used for trial production of product process. This industrial centrifugal machine has the function of speed setting, separation time setting and so on. It can ensure the experiment is completely automatically with the setting of technological parameter. In addition, the industrial laboratory centrifuge accord with DMP standard requirements.

Laboratory centrifuge

The laboratory centrifuge is mainly used for laboratory investigation in biology, medicine, chemistry, agriculture, food and pharmacy, etc. It can be used to separate and purify samples and analyze the samples property which have been purified. The laboratory centrifuge rotates from thousands to tens of thousands of revolutions per minute. The samples which need to be disposed are small.

The caution of using industrial centrifuge

1. The fluid material requires a pretreatment so that operator can reduce the operating quantity. You should mix up the materials to enhanced liquidity.
2. Keep the industrial centrifuge in balance.
3. Operator should control the pressure and the speed when operator put the materials into the industrial centrifuge.
4. The centrifuge cover must be closed when the device is in the pro-cooling state. The centrifugal machine must be tightening before using because the rotate speed is very high and that might be cause accidents if it has a problem or malfunction.
5. After tightening the rotary cover, operator should check whether there is a gap between the rotary head and the rotary cover. If there is a gap, unscrew it and tighten it again until it is confirmed that there is no gap before starting the centrifuge.
6. In the centrifuge process, the operator shall not leave the centrifuge room, once abnormal situation occurs, the operator can not turn off the POWER, to press STOP.
7. Do not use the fake, inferior, aging, deformed or cracked centrifugal pipe.
8. Operators should carefully read the instructions and procedures to use the industrial centrifuge.

How to prevent/slow down the corrosion of industrial centrifuge?

It is a troublesome thing that the industrial centrifuge is corroded when used for a long time in chemical raw materials. Here are some ways to prevent or slow down the corrosion of industrial centrifuge:

1. Choose the correct material of industrial centrifuge. It is very important for this step because different materials and separation requirements, need to choose different models. We need to determine which kind of industrial centrifuge to use according to the corrosion resistance of different materials in different environments, the rational characteristics of the comprehensive, cost-effective and many other factors. So we can prevent corrosion at the source.

2. Considerate the structure design of industrial centrifuge. A good design can prolong the service life of the machine and ensure the safety of the equipment. The most likely to occur corrosion is the gap position.

3. Surface protection measures for industrial centrifuges. A basic idea of corrosion control is to isolate the corrosive environment. We can use the way of surface treatment, such as flange, zinc plating, chromium plating, chemical plating to isolate the corrosive environment.

4. Use corrosion inhibitors. It is the most common way to prevent or slow down the corrosion of industrial centrifuge.
