Salt separation is a critical process across various industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing. Effective separation of solids from liquids directly influences product purity, operational efficiency, and processing costs. The right choice of centrifuge plays a pivotal role in optimizing salt separation processes. This article explores the best types of industrial centrifuges for salt separation based on their functions, features, and specifications.
The Importance of Choosing the Right Centrifuge
Selecting the appropriate types of industrial centrifuges for salt separation depends on several factors, including particle size, moisture content, solid concentration, and processing capacity. Industrial-scale salt processing demands centrifuges that offer high throughput, precise separation efficiency, and robust operation in continuous settings.
At Reyes Machinery, we provide various centrifuge models optimized for salt separation. These include the LWL Horizontal Screen Worm Centrifuge, HR Two-Stage Pusher Centrifuge, and GK/GKH Horizontal Peeler Siphon Centrifuge. Each of these centrifuges has its own set of strengths and application scopes based on industrial centrifuge capacity and separation needs.
LWL Horizontal Screen Worm Centrifuge
The LWL Horizontal Screen Worm Centrifuge is widely used for salt separation where the material consists of large particle sizes and does not require strict control over particle shape. Its continuous operation mode makes it ideal for high-volume industrial settings.
Key Specifications:
- Bowl diameter ranges from 200mm to 1000mm.
- G-force varies between 450 to 1790 depending on the model.
- Industrial centrifuge capacity from 0.5 m³/h up to 50 m³/h.
- Suitable for materials with solid content ranging from 20% to 80%.
- Achieves final moisture content between 5% and 7%.
- Best for particle sizes less than 200 mesh.
The LWL centrifuge handles materials efficiently when the solid content is high. For instance, if you’re processing a solid concentration near 80%, this centrifuge provides superior performance and drainage efficiency.
HR Two-Stage Pusher Centrifuge
The HR Pusher Centrifuge is engineered for continuous salt separation, handling operations like feeding, separation, washing, drying, and unloading in one streamlined process. It is particularly suited for materials with crystalline or fibrous particles larger than 0.08 mm.
Key Specifications:
- Inside diameters of the bowls range from 218mm to 800mm.
- Rotation speed of the bowl ranging from 800 to 2500 r/min based on model.
- Separation factor ranging from 268 to 1145.
- Industrial centrifuge capacity from 1 t/h to 65 t/h.
- Feeds concentrated suspensions containing over 40% solid.
- Achieves moisture content between 5% and 7%.
- Best for particle sizes less than 250 mesh.
This centrifuge is especially efficient when your processing budget is limited, and high throughput is still required. The two-stage pusher mechanism enhances dewatering efficiency without compromising on crystal integrity.
GK/GKH Horizontal Peeler Siphon Centrifuge
The GK/GKH Horizontal Peeler Siphon Centrifuge harnesses centrifugal and siphon pressures to provide strong solid-liquid separation. It is well adapted for slow filtering fine, viscous products.
Key Specifications:
- Drum diameters of 800mm to 1600mm.
- Drum volume of 100L to 830L.
- Drum speeds of 950 to 1550 r/min.
- Maximum separation factor of 799 to 1070.
- Loading capacity of up to 1050 kg.
- Industrial centrifuge capacity boosted to 50% over standard scraper designs.
This design is particularly well-suited to uses where low moisture and high purity are critical and conventional centrifuges will fail due to low rate of filtration or very small particle size. Siphonic action exerts significant influence on residual moisture and product rate of output per cycle.
