Stainless steel centrifuges are specially designed disc-stack centrifuges for separating corrosive chemicals and food products. A pass-through feature allows continuous processing through stainless-steel centrifuges. A high centrifugal force of over 7,000 g separates fine sediment down to 1 micron.
The Alfa Laval stainless steel centrifuges are generally of the food-grade (sanitary) design configuration. This design means that all the fluid contact parts are made of high-grade stainless steel (316L).
Some centrifuges have a stainless steel sludge discharge chute as well. These machines are applicable where the separated solids are of value to the customer.
For example, the precipitate is a valuable extract that must have all stainless steel contact in food flavoring extraction.
These food-grade centrifuges are available in a three-phase configuration, making them suitable for fish oil, rendering, and other similar applications.
