When you think of a centrifuge you might be familiar with lab centrifuge used in medical labs to spin blood samples for various tests. While industrial centrifuges use the same concept, it is produced at a much bigger scale with a flow-through design to separate liquids and solids such as sludge, slurry, and other solid particles. In this article, we will discuss the types of industrial centrifuges, the differences between them, and the industries they are used in.
Industrial centrifuges are categorized into two main categories: Filtration and Sedimentation.
The main difference between the two types of industrial centrifuges is the bowl design. The filtration centrifuge has a pass-through bowl, while the sedimentation centrifuge has a solid bowl. Other differences are separation efficiency, centrifugal force rate, and overall centrifuge design.
