Disc Bowl Centrifuge

Designed to provide practical training in separating a heavy phase liquid from a lighter phase liquid with particular emphasis on cream separation from milk. Throughputs up to 125 litres/hour with 12 selectable motor speeds.

A self-contained centrifugal separator training unit allowing thorough investigation of separating a heavy phase liquid from a lighter phase liquid. Using milk as the process fluid, cream having a fat content from 12-55% can be obtained. Supporting framework intended for bench mounting houses the separator with variable speed drive control unit, food reservoir and necessary ancillary equipment.
