What Is a Centrifuge Basket?
A centrifuge basket is a cylindrical device designed to separate solids from liquids or different liquids from each other through centrifugal force. It is highly efficient in processing mixtures, capable of handling high volumes, and supports continuous operation, making it versatile for a wide range of applications.
When in operation, the basket spins at high speed, applying centrifugal force to the mixture. This force causes denser solids to settle at the basket’s bottom, while lighter liquids rise to the top. These separated substances are then discharged through distinct outlets, allowing for effective separation.
Thanks to its robust separation capabilities, the centrifuge basket is utilized across numerous industries, including food processing, chemical engineering, pharmaceuticals, environmental engineering, and research and development.
