Manual Top Discharge Centrifuge
The Manual Top Discharge Centrifuge is one of the most traditional and widely used solid–liquid separation machines in the process industry. Known for its simple design, rugged construction, and proven reliability, it is ideally suited for applications where manual handling of the filter cake is acceptable.
In these machines, the slurry is loaded into a rotating basket lined with a suitable filter medium. Under high centrifugal force, the liquid phase is discharged through the perforated basket, while the solid particles are retained inside. After the cycle, the solids are manually removed from the top, making it an economical and efficient solution for batch processing.
Over the years, we have supplied manual top discharge centrifuges for a variety of applications ranging from bulk drugs and fine chemicals to food ingredients and intermediates. The design has continuously evolved to provide better safety, operational convenience, and long service life.
