CENTRIFUGES PLAY KEY ROLES IN SOLID-LIQUID SEPARATION

Alfa Laval centrifuges like most disc stacked centrifuges play key roles in the separation of contaminants in metalworking fluids. There are a total of 8 typical roles for centrifugation;

The 8 roles are;
• Separation
• Clarification
• Classification
• Degritting
• Thickening
• Dewatering
• Washing Separation and Repulping

Two of them are popular for cleaning metalworking fluids.

Separation - treating a dirty coolant by either two-phase separation for solid /solid separation as in removing particulate from the fluid; or, three-phase for liquid/liquid/solid separation as in removing tramp oil and particulate from a waterbase coolant.

Polishing – further cleaning a coolant after it has been treated by a primary clarifier to remove any unwanted material which migrated through the primary device
