Our range of test centrifuges includes:

Laboratory centrifuges

Test-tube centrifuge

111 – 230mm diameter perforate and imperforate laboratory basket centrifuges

150mm x 300mm solid bowl decanter centrifuges (sealed and suitable for nitrogen purging where appropriate)

Pilot-scale centrifuges

530mm diameter perforate and imperforate vertical axis manual discharge basket centrifuge with skimming attachment

300mm diameter horizontal axis plough discharge peeler centrifuge

300mm – 450mm diameter solid bowl decanter centrifuges

450mm diameter screen bowl decanter centrifuge

Pilot Plant Equipment

Pilot and Laboratory Centrifuges allow complete process testing on a small scale to check and assess proposed separation systems and explore outcomes and implications. We not only supply the pilot equipment, but also offer the expertise, resources and essential process data available from our Broadbent Process Laboratory facility. 

Our Process Laboratory is a unique facility allowing you to obtain valuable feasibility, performance and small scale production data allowing you to assess alternative separation techniques and expected separation performance. The resulting benefit is that your centrifuges deliver the greatest possible benefits for your business. 

Ancillary equipment

Our process laboratory is further equipped with a selection of tanks, variable-rate pumps, pipework, valves and control equipment for use during on-site and in-house process testing. In addition we have equipment for the analysis and measurement of process flow throughputs, performance and particle sizes.

This equipment includes:

  • Particle size analyser from 1-2000µm
  • Sieve analysis down to 45µm
  • Ashing furnaces
  • Drying ovens
  • Optical microscopy
  • Instruments for measuring conductivity, viscosity, temperature, pressure, pH etc.
