Shop IPP’s in-stock, secondhand and surplus disc centrifuges – optimized for high-purity applications

Ready-to-ship disc bowl systems from IPP for dairy, biotech and chemical workflows. We will save you time & money

When your process demands precise, continuous separation of immiscible liquids or fine solids from liquids, disc bowl centrifuges offer superior performance for critical applications. With more than 47 years of experience, IPP offers immediate access to high-quality used disc bowl centrifuges sourced from 20 complete plant sites and included in our inventory of over 15,000 ready-to-ship pieces of equipment. Choosing used disc bowl centrifuges from IPP provides companies with faster project timelines, significant cost savings, and proven process reliability.

Disc bowl centrifuges, also known as disc stack centrifuges, operate by spinning a series of conical discs at high speeds to enhance the separation of solids and liquids or two immiscible liquids with different densities. They are essential for processes requiring continuous clarification, purification, or concentration.

Primary uses across industries

  • In pharmaceutical production, disc bowl centrifuges clarify cell cultures, vaccines, and fermentation broths.
  • In chemical manufacturing, they separate fine particles from reaction mixtures or recover valuable solvents.
  • In food and beverage processing, they purify edible oils, dairy products, and juices.
  • In biotechnology, disc centrifuges harvest biomass, proteins, and enzymes efficiently.
  • In marine and energy sectors, they purify fuel oils and lube oils to protect engines and turbines.

Types of materials processed

  • Liquids containing fine suspended solids
  • Two immiscible liquids requiring separation (e.g., oil and water)
  • Cell cultures, fermentation broths, and biological suspensions
  • Solvent-based chemical mixtures needing clarification

Common materials of construction

  • Disc bowl centrifuges are manufactured to withstand demanding chemical, biological, and sanitary environments:
  • Stainless steel for sanitary and general-purpose chemical applications
  • Hastelloy for highly corrosive or pharmaceutical-grade operations
  • Special high-strength alloys for high-pressure or extreme chemical exposures

Key features of disc bowl centrifuges

  • Continuous separation capability for high-throughput operations
  • Integrated solids discharge options (manual, semi-automatic, or automatic)
  • High centrifugal force for efficient separation of fine particles and droplets
  • Hygienic design options for pharmaceutical and food-grade applications
  • Small footprint with high separation efficiency

Centrifuge-Disc Bowl FAQ

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

What industries rely most on disc bowl centrifuges?
Pharmaceutical, food, chemical, biotechnology, marine, and energy industries depend on disc bowl centrifuges for high-efficiency liquid clarification and purification.
How do disc bowl centrifuges compare to basket centrifuges?
Disc bowl centrifuges offer continuous, high-speed separation for fine solids and liquids, while basket centrifuges are typically used for batch dewatering of larger solids.
What maintenance is required for disc bowl centrifuges?
Routine inspection and cleaning of the disc stack, bowl, seals, and bearings—along with monitoring of drive systems—ensures optimal separation performance and long-term reliability.
What are the benefits of buying used or secondhand process equipment from IPP?
Buying used from IPP saves up to 70% compared to new equipment, provides immediate availability, supports sustainable business practices, and leverages IPP’s 47 years of industry knowledge.
