PS Manual Upper Discharge Plate Centrifuge 600mm Drum 45L 3kW 304 Stainless Steel
PS Series Plate Manual Upper Discharge Centrifuge
When recipes change often and batches stay small, complexity only gets in the way. The PS series keeps it short: load, spin, open the lid, lift the cake out by hand. Fewer parts than a scraper line means a lower purchase price and cleaning that one person finishes in minutes between products.
Why the PS Fits Small-Batch Clean Work
- No scraper or bag rig to look after; the only moving assembly is the drum and its shaft
- The open lid gives a clear line of sight for inspection, sampling and washdown
- A freestanding flat plate footprint fits tight bays and short runs without civil works
- Speed is set by pulley ratio or a VFD, so one unit can cover several different products
Operating Principle
The filter fabric or screen sits in an open drum. Suspension is poured in and the drum is brought up to speed, so the centrifugal field pins the solids against the medium while clear liquid drains out through the drum perforations. Once the batch is dry, the operator stops the machine and lifts the lid on its counter-balanced hinge to take the dewatered cake out by hand.
Machine Composition
- A plate-and-damper base that also keeps floor vibration low
- A drum with a quickly changed filter medium, on a vertical shaft
- Belt transmission, with dual-speed motor or VFD as options
- Hinged top cover over a shell fitted with a drain spout and wash port
- Manual unloading without any powered discharge mechanism
Where It Is Used
Small-batch dewatering of fine chemicals, pharmaceutical intermediates, pigments and food additives, especially where products change frequently and cleanliness between runs matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the PS series unload?
A: By hand, from the top. After the batch is dewatered the operator lifts the lid and removes the cake, so no scraper or bag is involved.
Q: What batch sizes suit it?
A: Small batches with drum volumes from 10L to 600L, and it is especially good when products are changed often.
Q: Is cleaning between products slow?
A: No. The open cover and the flat, pocket-free base let one person clear the machine quickly between different products.
Q: Does it need a heavy foundation?
A: The compact plate layout is lighter than a three-column machine and transfers little vibration to the building.
Q: Can the running speed be changed?
A: Yes. Use dual-speed motors or variable frequency control to match different materials.
