| Abstract: | New equipment developments in filter centrifuges . Industrial filter centrifuges are used for solid throughputs from ca. 0.01 to 250 t/h per machine. The specific filtration resistance of the solids to be separated likewise covers a range of ca. 1 :25 000. In addition to the enormous range of physical properties and mass flows, a wide variety of demands is placed on the chemical resistance of the materials of construction and the safety of the plant. These demands led to the development of a wide range of filter centrifuges, the most important types of which are first surveyed from a chemical engineering standpoint. There follows an account of the principal characteristics of recent types and the development of various details. |
