Features

Adjustable Inclined Design

Inclines up to 40° increase material dwell time within the screening chamber, enhancing the drainage rate of free liquids and resulting in drier discharge solids

Innovative Internal Auger

A full-length, low-pitched auger moves high loadings of material longitudinally, while rotating paddles impart centrifugal force to propel material in a spiral path.

Versatile Screen Options

Cylindrical screens available in woven nylon, monofilament, stainless steel and stainless steel wedgewire formats. Accommodates a wide range of materials, flow rates, product types and processing capacities.

Easy Maintenance

Large inspection door allows two-minute screen change, whilst smooth interior surfaces facilitate thorough washdowns. This is important for the food, dairy and pharmaceutical industry.

Industries that use the Dewatering Centrifugal Separator

The Dewatering Centrifugal Separator is trusted across a wide range of industries that demand high-efficiency moisture removal and sanitary design. It is particularly effective in processing slurries, pastes and wet solids in industries such as beverage, food, pet food, chemicals, cannabis, metal powder and pharmaceuticals, where quick changeovers, reliable separation and hygiene are essential.

8 Feathers Distillery Cuts Waste and Gains Efficiency with Dewatering Centrifugal Separator

8 Feathers Distillery uses a Dewatering Centrifugal Separator to tackle its stillage waste stream and see immediate performance gains. By installing the centrifugal sifter, they were able to efficiently separate spent grain from liquid at scale. The sifter minimized their sewage surcharges and solid waste disposal fees while enabling them to repurpose the dewatered grain as livestock feed, supporting both sustainability and local agriculture. With minimal maintenance and fast tool free cleaning, the system keeps operations running smoothly with little downtime.
