The chemical and petrochemical industries require durable, safe, and efficient technology solutions which place unique demands on suppliers. Whether the application is for chemicals, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, coating pigments, or plant waste streams, ANDRITZ has the right products and solutions to improve production, efficiency, end product quality, and plant safety.
Peeler centrifuge HZ 125/3.2
In the chemical, pharmaceutical or food industries, our Krauss-Maffei horizontal peeler centrifuges have always excelled.
Our peeler centrifuge for pharmaceutical applications is proven for products from A (for amines) to Z (for zinc bacitracin). Developed for the specific requirements of demanding applications in the pharmaceutical industry, our pharma centrifuge stands out due to its distinctive features.
Krauss-Maffei pusher centrifuges ensure maximum operational availability with minimum maintenance and low space requirement in many solid/liquid separation processes. They are used in various industrial sectors, such as for bulk chemicals, in plastics processing, mining, the fiber industry, and food processing.
With more than 15,000 machines installed, ANDRITZ is one of the leading suppliers of decanter centrifuges. The comprehensive product portfolio also comprises the product range acquired from Humboldt and Bird Machine. ANDRITZ can offer an optimum machine for almost all process applications (A-series) up to a diameter of 1.4 m. The robust design of the machines allows a service life of several decades.
The solid-bowl decanter is the basic, standard machine to separate solids and liquids. Typically applied for all kinds of plastic material (PVC, HDPE, PTA), but also for CaCO3, kaolin, drilling mud, tunnel drilling, and various residues.
Screen-bowl decanters discharge crystalline solids over the conical section. These are transported along a cylindrical screen section, where the solids are further dewatered – combining the steps of sedimentation and filtration in one machine. Where advantageous, the solids can be washed on the screen. Mainly applied for potash, fine coal, and BPA.
This machine is used when not only a solid is to be separated from the liquid, but when the liquid contains two phases of differing densities. Besides treatment of oil and fats, such machines are used to recover oil from tank cleaning operation (slop oil).
The CENSORTM centrifuge is used to selectively separate plastic fractions of differing densities. During the process, the product is washed using a minimal quantity of water. The resulting recycled products are then available for high-quality reuse.
The screen scroll centrifuge is used to separate (and possibly wash) medium coarse particles (> 0.2 mm) like salt, coal, and potash. A scroll is used to transport the solids along the screen basket.
The vibrating screen centrifuge is used to separate coarse particles (> 0.5 mm) like salt and coal. The transport of solids is assisted by vibrating the screen basket.
