When your process requires gentle, efficient solid-liquid separation with minimal product loss, inverting filter centrifuges provide superior performance across critical industries. With more than 47 years of process equipment expertise, IPP offers immediate access to used inverting filter centrifuges sourced from 20 complete plant sites and included in our inventory of over 15,000 ready-to-ship pieces of equipment. Choosing used inverting filter centrifuges from IPP helps companies save capital, accelerate project schedules, and achieve excellent product recovery.

Inverting filter centrifuges feature a unique design where the filter cloth is mechanically inverted during discharge, gently removing solids without damaging fragile crystals or products. These machines are ideal for high-purity applications requiring low residual moisture, minimal contamination, and easy cleaning between batches.

Primary uses across industries

In pharmaceutical production, inverting filter centrifuges recover active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and delicate intermediates.
In fine chemical manufacturing, they separate and purify specialty chemicals and catalysts.
In food and beverage processing, they handle specialty starches, proteins, and sensitive food ingredients.
In biotechnology, they separate biomass or highly sensitive biological materials.
In specialty materials industries, they process fine powders and high-value solids needing gentle handling.

Types of materials processed

Fragile crystals or sensitive solids requiring gentle separation
Slurries with low solids concentration
Fine chemicals, APIs, biotech materials, and specialty food ingredients
Products requiring extremely low residual moisture after separation

Common materials of construction

Inverting filter centrifuges are built to meet sanitary, chemical, and high-purity standards:

Stainless steel for food-grade, pharmaceutical, and general chemical applications
Hastelloy for aggressive or highly corrosive chemical environments
Specialty alloys or coatings for customized chemical compatibility

Key features of inverting filter centrifuges

Gentle solids discharge via mechanical cloth inversion
High recovery rates with minimal product breakage
CIP (clean-in-place) design for sanitary or multi-product operations
Fully enclosed design for containment and operator safety
Efficient washing and dewatering in a single operation

Centrifuge-Inverting Filter FAQ

Have questions about Inverting Filter Centrifuges or our services? Learn more about our products and why customers choose IPP.

We offer several options for shipping, including internationally. Should the customer choose, they can arrange their own shipping.

About 98% of our used equipment comes from plant-type liquidations in which we are required to not sell the systems or plants as a whole back into the marketplace. Our inventories come from those pieces that didn’t sell at the site but still have great value.

Pharmaceutical, fine chemical, biotech, and specialty food industries rely heavily on inverting filter centrifuges for gentle, high-purity separation.

Inverting filter centrifuges gently discharge solids by inverting the filter cloth, preserving delicate products, while traditional basket centrifuges typically rely on scraping or manual removal.

Regular inspection and maintenance of the filter cloth, mechanical inversion system, seals, and drive components ensures consistent performance and extended machine life.

Buying used from IPP saves up to 70% compared to new equipment, offers immediate delivery, supports sustainability, and provides access to 47 years of trusted industry expertise.
