With the rapid development of global industrialization and biotechnology, the technical requirements for liquid-liquid separation and liquid-solid separation are getting higher and higher. Especially in high-precision, high-purity and high-difficulty separation processes, traditional filtration or sedimentation methods can no longer meet the increasingly complex separation needs. In this context, tubular centrifuges have become an indispensable tool for many industries to achieve efficient separation with their extremely high separation factor and excellent treatment effect.
As a Chinese tubular centrifuge manufacturer that is deeply engaged in separation technology, we always adhere to customer demand-oriented, focus on technological innovation and product optimization, and provide professional separation solutions for the pharmaceutical, bioengineering, food, fine chemical and other industries. This article will systematically introduce the technical principles, performance characteristics, applicable fields, application cases, common problems and future development trends of tubular centrifuges to help you fully understand the core value of this high-end separation equipment.
What is a tubular centrifuge?
A tubular centrifuge is a high-speed, high-separation-factor precision separation device that is widely used for separation of complex materials such as liquid-solid, liquid-liquid-solid, etc. Its most notable feature is that the drum is slender and tubular, with extremely high speed and excellent separation effect.
Technical principle
The material enters the high-speed rotating cylindrical drum through the bottom feed port. Under the strong centrifugal force, materials of different densities are rapidly stratified:
Solids with high density (such as fine particles, crystals, etc.) are deposited on the inner wall of the drum;
Liquids with low density are in the inner layer and flow out through the upper liquid outlet;
If there is a need for liquid-liquid-solid three-phase separation, the system can be fine-tuned by improving the structure.
Product advantages of tubular centrifuge
1. Ultra-high separation factor, industry-leading separation accuracy
Thanks to the high-speed rotation design, the speed of our tubular centrifuge can reach more than 16,000 rpm, which is suitable for processing fine particles and colloidal impurities with a particle size of less than 1 micron, and is widely used in emulsions, colloidal solutions, biological fermentation broth and other difficult-to-separate materials.
2. Compact structure and low energy consumption
The whole machine is small in size, the drum diameter is small and slender, and the footprint is small. The energy consumption during operation is significantly lower than that of large sedimentation equipment, which is energy-saving and environmentally friendly.
3. Simple operation and convenient maintenance
Simple inlet and outlet connections, high degree of automation;
Easy to disassemble the drum, easy to clean and maintain;
Equipped with an intelligent control system, it can realize real-time parameter monitoring and automatic protection.
4. Wide adaptability
According to the specific needs of different industries, various specifications can be provided (GQ, GF series)
Main application industries
The tubular centrifuge is known as the “leader in precision separation equipment” and covers almost all high-end application scenarios with strict requirements on separation accuracy:
1. Biopharmaceutical industry
Vaccine purification: separation of viruses, bacteria, and cell residues;
Blood products: separation of plasma, blood cells and other components;
