5000L/H Spirulina Microalgae Harvesting Disc Stack Separator

The HLSEP HL-DS5000A disc stack separator centrifuge is purpose-built for spirulina and microalgae biomass concentration in commercial algae cultivation facilities. Featuring full SS316L stainless steel construction with food-grade surface finish (Ra ≤ 0.8 μm), this centrifuge meets the stringent hygiene requirements of food, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical algae processing.

Key Features

• SS316L Food Grade Construction: All product-contact surfaces manufactured from SS316L stainless steel with polished Ra ≤ 0.8 μm finish, ensuring compliance with FDA and EU food contact material regulations
• Optimized for Spirulina Biomass: Custom disc stack geometry designed specifically for microalgae cell size distribution (3-10 μm), achieving >95% biomass recovery rate with minimal cell rupture
• 440V 3 Phase Power System: Configured for standard industrial 440V 3-phase supply commonly available in algae production facilities worldwide
• CIP Compatible Design: Clean-in-place compatible bowl design with sanitary connections allows thorough cleaning between batches without disassembly
• PLC Controlled Operation: Automated start-up, running, and shut-down sequences with real-time monitoring of critical process parameters

Process Performance

The HL-DS5000A achieves 5000L/H throughput with spirulina slurry at 0.5-2% dry solids concentration, delivering concentrated biomass at 8-15% solids in a single pass. The gentle separation mechanism preserves cell integrity, maintaining product quality for high-value nutraceutical and food ingredient applications. Variable frequency drive option enables fine-tuning of bowl speed for different algae strains.

Applications

• Spirulina platensis biomass harvesting
• Chlorella vulgaris concentration
• Haematococcus pluvialis (astaxanthin) recovery
