Low Vibration, Stainless Steel Pharmaceutical Decanter Centrifuge With Gear Box System

Brief Introduction

The Pharmaceutical Decanter Centrifuge is designed for continuous solid-liquid separation in pharmaceutical intermediates, fermentation broth, API process liquid, fine chemical slurry, and clean production processes.

With low vibration design, stainless steel construction, reliable gearbox system, and adjustable operating parameters, the centrifuge helps improve liquid clarification, solid recovery, moisture reduction, and process stability.

It can be configured with PLC control, VFD speed adjustment, sealed structure, CIP cleaning, explosion-proof electrical components, and GMP-oriented surface treatment according to pharmaceutical process requirements.

Suitable Applications

Pharmaceutical Separation Solution

Peony provides not only the decanter centrifuge, but also complete separation support for pharmaceutical and fine chemical processes.

Process Evaluation

• Material characteristics
• Solid content and particle size
• Liquid viscosity and density
• Target clarification level
• Cake moisture requirement
• Temperature and pH
• Solvent and explosion-proof risk
• GMP and cleaning requirements

Equipment Selection

• Bowl diameter and length-to-diameter ratio
• Bowl speed and G-force
• Differential speed and gearbox torque
• Screw conveyor structure
• Contact material selection
• Sealing and explosion-proof configuration
• PLC and VFD control system

Working Principle

The typical process is:

Process Liquid Feeding → High-Speed Bowl Rotation → Solid Sedimentation → Screw Conveyor Discharge → Clarified Liquid Outlet → Continuous Operation

During operation, pharmaceutical slurry or process liquid enters the high-speed rotating bowl through the feed pipe. Under centrifugal force, solids settle on the bowl wall while the clarified liquid flows out through the liquid outlet.

The screw conveyor continuously pushes the separated solids to the discharge port. Bowl speed and differential speed can be adjusted to match different solid content, particle size, viscosity, and clarification requirements.
