Product Description:

The Ketema Mark III Perforated Basket Centrifuge is a heavy-duty, top-loading, bottom-discharging solids separation system designed for high-efficiency industrial applications. With a 32" x 20" basket, this unit operates at up to 1325 RPM, handling materials up to 96 lb/cu ft density. The hydraulic plow discharge system enables efficient solids removal, while a sealed, air-tight top cover with a hinged door ensures containment and safety. The centrifuge includes 33.5" heavy-duty leg extensions and an operator platform with stairs for accessibility. Previously run with a nitrogen blanket, it's suited for hazardous or sensitive material processing.
