Manufacturer Information

Westfalia Separator

Westfalia is a recognized manufacturer of industrial centrifugal separation equipment, including disc-stack separators and desludging centrifuges used for liquid clarification, liquid/liquid separation, and solids removal. Westfalia separator technology is commonly found in food, beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, oil-processing, and other industrial separation applications.

The SA-7-01-576 is configured as a desludging disc centrifuge for continuous separation processes requiring liquid/liquid/solids separation.

Description

Available for sale is a used Westfalia Model SA-7-01-576 desludger disc centrifuge featuring 316 stainless steel construction in the product-contact areas.

This unit is configured as a separator for liquid/liquid/solids separation, allowing compatible process streams to be separated into two liquid phases while removing accumulated solids.

The centrifuge has a stated maximum bowl speed of 8,520 RPM and is powered by a 4 kW drive motor configured for 380V, 3-phase, 50 Hz electrical service.

Included with the centrifuge are a water harness, operator's control panel, and miscellaneous tools.

The high rotational speed and disc-stack configuration make this centrifuge potentially suitable for applications requiring phase separation, clarification, purification, solids removal, and product recovery.
