Top Suspended Centrifuge

The working principle of the top suspended centrifuge is based on centrifugal force. When the slurry is fed into the rotating drum, the high-speed rotation creates a significant centrifugal force. This force pushes the solid particles outward against the drum wall, where they form a sediment layer. The liquid phase, being less dense, remains in the center and is collected separately. After the separation process, the solid particles are removed from the drum, typically through a scraping mechanism or by tilting the drum.

The top suspended centrifuge is widely used in various industries, particularly in the sugar industry. It is essential for the separation of sucrose crystals from the mother liquor in the production of refined sugar, white sugar, and raw sugar. This centrifuge is also used in the processing of other sugar-related products such as methyl sugar, ethyl sugar, glucose paste, fructose, and sugar alcohols. In addition to the sugar industry, the top suspended centrifuge finds applications in other sectors such as: Chemical Industry: For separating solid by-products from liquid reaction mixtures. Food Industry: For clarifying liquids and separating solid particles in various food processing applications. Pharmaceutical Industry: For the purification of pharmaceutical products by separating solid impurities from liquid solutions. Environmental Protection: For treating wastewater by removing solid waste particles from the liquid.

The installation environment for a top suspended centrifuge should be a clean, dry, and well-ventilated area. It should be installed on a stable and level foundation to avoid vibration and noise. The surrounding environment should be free from corrosive gases and liquids to prevent damage to the equipment.

Generally, with proper maintenance and normal operating conditions, a top suspended centrifuge can have a service life of over 10 years.

Choosing the right top suspension centrifuge model depends on factors such as processing capacity, particle size distribution of the material, required separation efficiency and installation space. If you don't know how to choose the right model, please contact our experts

Compared to traditional models, top suspended centrifuges usually offer higher separation efficiency, more stable operation, and easier maintenance. Their top-suspension design reduces vibration and wear on bearings, thereby improving overall efficiency and reliability.

Batch operation refers to the process where a certain amount of material is loaded into the centrifuge, separation is performed, and then the separated solids and liquids are discharged before the next cycle begins. Continuous operation involves a continuous feed of material into the centrifuge, with simultaneous discharge of solids and liquids. Batch operation is suitable for small-scale production or materials requiring special treatment, while continuous operation is suitable for large-scale, continuous production processes.
