Model EC -Continuous Horizontal Screening Centrifuges
ROUSSELET ROBATEL designs and fabricates Continuous Horizontal Screening Centrifuges, to separate, wash, and de-water solid / liquid slurries on a continuous basis. Robust and reliable, the Model EC horizontal continuous centrifuge is ideal for large scale mono-product processing in the chemical and food industries.
Performance:
- Suitable for many applications, with high G-forces of 2000-2500 x G, and can operate at process temperatures ranging 0-200°C [32-390°F], adapted for rigid crystals down to 50 microns.
- High production throughputs
- Easy solids discharge, particularly for sticky products, a vibrator can be installed on the discharge screw.
- Torque limitor to prevent overloading of the gear reducer.
Robust:
- Perfectly adapted to continuous processes and robust construction for long-term use.
- Vibration isolators installed on the frame, specifically designed for heavy equipment use.
- Materials of construction : carbon steel, stainless steel

A - Conical basket operating at high rotational speed, with metallic filter screen adapted to the material to be de-watered.
B - Screw conveyor which operates at a differential speed with respect to the basket
C - Outer casing for de-watered product recovery, mother liquor recovery, and wash liquor recovery.
D - Feed tube
E - Gear reducer that controls the differential speed between the basket and screw conveyor
F - Safety mechanism which prevents overloading of the rotating gears.
G - Wash tube
H - Seal that allows the centrifuge to be pressurized for explosion-proof service.
I - Wash liquid outlet
J - Filtrate outlet
K - Dried solids outlet
- The slurry to be treated is introduced to the centrifuge through a feed tube (D). Under centrifugal force, the particles are projected against inner surface of the rotating basket.
- The solids are then discharged continuously via a screw conveyor (B), through the outlet opening (K). The liquid fitrate is continuously discharge through the opening (J).
- The wash tube (G) allows wash liquid to be introduced on the surface of the treated product during centrifugation, and before discharging from the back wall.
