A centrifuge is a device that uses centrifugal force to subject a specimen to a constant force, for separating different components of a fluid. This is accomplished by rapidly rotating the fluid within a container, separating fluids of differing densities (e.g., cream from milk) or liquids from solids.
It works by causing denser substances and particles to flow radially outward. Simultaneously, less dense things are displaced and moved to the core. Denser particles settle to the bottom of the tube as a result of the radial acceleration, while low-density substances rise to the top. A centrifuge is a powerful filter that removes impurities from the main body of fluid.
The Global Centrifuge Motor Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
ANDRITZ introduces single-motor pusher centrifuge eco One. The eco One, an innovative pusher centrifuge based on the tried-and-true Krauss-Maffei pusher centrifuge technology and with a strong single motor serving many roles, has been introduced by the international technology group ANDRITZ.
The eco One pusher centrifuge has just one motor that serves both the pusher and drive tasks, in contrast to standard centrifuges that have separate motors for each. This greatly lowers installed power and energy usage. Pusher centrifuges with two motors typically only use the drive motor’s full power at startup, and it typically runs at partial load when the machine is in steady state.
On the other hand, since there are no solids in the machine that need to be pushed at startup, the pusher motor operates at almost no load. Therefore, until stationary operation starts, the pusher motor is not in use.
Using the eco One technology, the reserve capacity that would normally be used for pushing may be utilized to accelerate the basket during startup while also being usable for pushing during stationary operation. As a result, the installed power is greatly reduced, and the motor always runs at its most efficient.
Thus, the installed power is reduced by roughly 20–40% while the overall power usage is decreased by 10–20%. The new high-pressure pushing technology also uses up to 40% less hydraulic fluid.
Innovative ANDRITZ technologies are featured in the eco One pusher centrifuge, including the Gentle Feeder TM feed system that minimizes wear, the Pre Filtration technology for integrated thickening, and the exclusive ANDRITZ cartridge technology for downtime reduction. With this technology, the rotating unit can be completely removed from the centrifuge without having to disconnect the machine’s pipes, so that downtime is typically shorter than a single shift.
An eco One pusher centrifuge’s baskets are made to make it simple to switch from a two-stage to a three-stage configuration and vice versa. Because the design may be changed when upstream requirements change or if the centrifuge is utilized for campaign-based operations, this affords the centrifuge unmatched flexibility.
The most recent ANDRITZ innovation, which is suitable for the production of bulk chemicals, technical salts, agrochemicals, and plastics, maintains the dependability and washing effectiveness of conventional pusher centrifuge technology while enhancing energy efficiency, flexibility, and ease of maintenance, which lowers operating costs and downtime. Additionally, compared to earlier generations, the eco One pusher centrifuge has a significantly reduced weight and fewer space and environmental footprint requirements.
