[Case Study] I want to easily extract crystals even with an upper discharge centrifugal separator.
The use of a special basket and lifter enables improved cleaning of the in-flight basket and reduces the burden on the work operator.
We received an inquiry from chemical manufacturer O regarding their desire to easily recover and extract crystals using a top discharge centrifuge. We proposed and delivered our top discharge centrifuge model KMβ with a bottom-open type basket without a flange for dewatering. As a result of using our centrifuge, we received positive feedback regarding: - Reduced burden on the operating personnel - Improved cleanliness of the basket inside the machine In top discharge centrifuges, operators must manually remove solid materials. However, this is quite labor-intensive, and the difficulty increases if the solids are hard. Furthermore, with medium-sized machines around 42 inches, the solids to be removed can exceed 100 kg. To alleviate this heavy labor, we considered the bottom-open type of dewatering bag. ↓ Continuing to "Basic Information"
basic information
The upper-type centrifugal separator uses a dewatering bag with a bag-shaped filter cloth as the filtration material, and its attachment and detachment required manual labor. However, with a bottom-opening dewatering bag, you can simply hook a belt attached to the bag onto the crane's hook and lift it directly from the basket. You can maintain that height while moving and untie the string at the bottom of the bag over a container that receives the solids. This allows the solids to fall out from the opening of the bag, reducing the burden on the operator. However, even with a bottom-opening dewatering bag, it is often the case that it gets caught on the rim when being lifted from the basket, which can frequently trouble the operator. Therefore, we devised a rimless basket by removing the rim from the basket and instead attaching a rim to the dewatering bag to make it easier to lift. As a result, the task of loosening the solids and the snagging of the basket rim when lifting the bag have been eliminated, leading to improved washability of the basket.

Detailed information

【Lifter】 We also offer a device called a lifter that can suspend dewatering bags. With a standard crane, there is a possibility that paint may chip off or dust may enter the product, increasing the risk of contamination. Our lifter can be made of stainless steel to prevent foreign matter contamination.

【Open-bottom Dehydration Bag】 By allowing the bottom of the dehydration bag to be opened, it has become easier to recover crystals by suspending the heavy dehydration bag from a crane. 【Basket without a Flange】 Eliminating the flange from the basket has removed the issues of breaking up solids and snagging when lifting the bag, and it has also improved the cleanability of the basket.
