ALFA LAVAL CENTRIFUGES LIKE ALL CENTRIFUGES ACCELERATE RETENTION TIME

In the field of liquid /solid separation, any liquid can be cleaned if it could be held in a quiet pool for a period long enough to allow the heavier material drop to the bottom and the lighter material rise to the top. This is called retention time with gravity. However, most applications do not have the ability to house a large enough pool for the time needed. Alfa Laval centrifuges like all centrifuges create the atmosphere where they accelerate the retention time. They have the ability to generate forces hundreds of times greater than the gravitational force to pull the material out of the primary fluid. The centrifuge is one of the most efficient devices used in this field.

The design and selection of the centrifuges depends upon a number of factors and a properly selected unit offers a great deal of flexibility to cope with the variables found in typical metalworking applications.

Harrigan Solutions understands the parameters for selecting and applying centrifuges. They sell new and used Alfa Laval centrifuges. Rentals are also available. In addition Harrigan Solutions provides service agreements to assist in maintaining them. For more information contact Bill Harrigan at 1-888-685-9603. His email is bharrigan@harrigansolutions.com.
