Foamex - Foam Centrifuges
Foams occur in many processes, e.g. through a medium being aerated, through reaction gases being released or through gas being discharged from a medium into a vacuum. Often, it is necessary to control the amount of foam to prevent equipment downstream, such as filters or pumps, from becoming contaminated. With the help of the mechanical FOAMEX foam centrifuge, foam control can be achieved in most cases without chemical defoaming agents being added. This often not only results in benefits in the foaming process, but also when overhauling or further processing the antifoam-free media.
Our foam centrifuges are offered in a variety of designs, whereby the main difference lies in the material selection, pressure levels and structural form, especially in relation to hygiene requirements.
Integrating foam centrifuges in bioreactors - taking the example of the FOAMEX G series
The foam centrifuges can be integrated directly in the head of the reactor or fermenter tank. For smaller systems or after retrofitting, installation in the exhaust pipe is advisable. In this way, local integration of the foam centrifuges in the system can be realised without having to modify the vessel.
FOAMEX systems work unobtrusively yet efficiently in many applications. Because we know that virtually every foam behaves differently, we always design the foam centrifuges especially to the requirement. We have special mobile measuring systems and rental test units to determine the foam parameters.
