Premium Basket Centrifuge

A Premium Pulman basket centrifuge is a mechanical device used to separate solids from liquids through centrifugal force. It is widely employed in various industries for its efficiency in filtering, dewatering, and separating materials. This equipment is especially useful in applications involving slurry or wet mixtures, where high-speed rotation helps isolate solid particles from liquids.

Basket centrifuges are commonly used in chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, food production, wastewater treatment, dyes and pigments, and other sectors that require solid-liquid separation with high throughput and reliability.

Design & Construction

The core component of a basket centrifuge is a cylindrical, perforated rotating basket enclosed within a solid casing. The basket is lined with a filtering medium that retains solid particles while allowing liquids to pass through. As the basket spins at high speeds, centrifugal force pushes the slurry against the wall, where solids are captured and liquids are expelled.

Depending on the application, the centrifuge may be designed for manual, semi-automatic, or fully automatic operation. The construction materials vary based on the chemical and physical properties of the processed material, with options including stainless steel and other corrosion-resistant alloys.

Operating Principle

The operation begins by feeding the slurry into the spinning basket. The centrifugal force generated by rotation drives the mixture outward. Liquid passes through the filter medium and exits via drainage ports, while the solid content accumulates along the inner wall of the basket.

Once separation is complete, the solids can be manually or automatically discharged, depending on the configuration. Some models allow for continuous feeding and batch discharge, while others are designed for fully continuous operation
