Model LX -Multistage Centrifugal Extractors

These multistage centrifugal extractors, also known as centrifugal contactors, or liquid / liquid extraction centrifuges offer the following advantages and benefits:

• Counter-current continuous extraction for maximum efficiency
• Up to 7 extraction stages in a single rotor
• Single rotor minimizes spare parts and maintenance costs
• Very low residence time
• Rapid operational equilibrium facilitating batch-wise or continuous extractions
• Low hold-up relative to throughput
• Chemical and hydraulic equilibrium achieved rapidly
• Compact installation
• Efficient phase separation
• Vaportight construction with the possibility of inert gas blanketing
• Interphase position is independent of the total and relative flowrates of the two phases
• No mechanical seals required
• Multiple inlets for processing flexibility
• Unattended operation
• High extraction efficiency
• Discrete stage-wise operation
• Laboratory, pilot, and industrial scale machines available
• Cart or skid mounted systems for easy portability
• Rental equipment available
