Peeler centrifuges are a type of industrial centrifuge designed for solid-liquid separation. They are particularly effective in handling slurries with a relatively high solid content (typically 5-50%). These machines work on the principle of centrifugal force to separate solid particles from a liquid suspension.
Feeding: The slurry is fed into a rotating basket lined with a filter cloth. Filtration: Centrifugal force drives the liquid through the filter cloth, leaving a cake of solid material on the inner surface of the basket. Washing (Optional): A wash liquid can be introduced to further purify the solid cake. Drying: The solid cake is spun at high speed to remove residual moisture. Discharging: A rotating knife, or "peeler," scrapes the solid cake off the basket wall, discharging it for further processing.
Peeler centrifuges find wide application in various industries, including:
Chemical Industry: Separation of crystals, catalysts, and other solid products from chemical processes.
Pharmaceutical Industry: Purification of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other pharmaceutical products.
Food Processing: Separation of solids from liquids in food and beverage production.
Mineral Processing: Recovery of valuable minerals from ores and concentrates.
Wastewater Treatment: Dehydration of sludge and other solid waste materials.
The choice of materials for a peeler centrifuge depends on the specific application and the properties of the materials being processed. Common materials of construction include:
Stainless Steel: A versatile and widely used material, particularly in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries.
Cast Iron: Often used for the base and frame of the centrifuge.
Special Alloys: For applications involving corrosive or abrasive materials, special alloys like Hastelloy, Monel, or titanium may be used.
Polymers: In some cases, polymers like polypropylene or PTFE may be used for specific components.
Corrosion Resistance: The material must be resistant to the chemicals present in the process.
Wear Resistance: The material must be able to withstand the abrasive action of the solid particles.
Strength and Durability: The material must be strong enough to withstand the high centrifugal forces generated during operation.
Cleanability: The material must be easy to clean and maintain.
By carefully selecting the appropriate materials of construction, it is possible to ensure the long-term performance and reliability of a peeler centrifuge.
If you have a specific application in mind, providing more details about the materials being processed and the operating conditions would allow for a more tailored recommendation on suitable materials of construction.
