  • Automatically by peeling off the cake in a horizontal axis centrifuge  
  • Automatically by inverting the filter cloth  

You can find the animation of all these processes in the dedicated product detail pages. Fore more information, please refer to the

 

Depending on the application, the centrifuges can include Ex-proof design and CIP/SIP features, several material of construction are available (from SS to Hastelloy, Titanium, etc.). See product detail pages for more information
