    The document discusses a peeler centrifuge, which uses centrifugal force to separate solids from liquids by density difference. It rotates a filtration basket at high speeds to allow suspended solids in a feed to settle on the inner surface of the basket. The main types are horizontal and vertical peelers, which are used in various industries like fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, plastics, and food. Centrient Pharmaceuticals uses a horizontal peeler centrifuge that has a horizontally rotating basket inside an external casing. It performs a process where the suspension is fed in and the liquid is drained, then the solids can optionally be washed before being peeled off and discharged.

    Peeler Centrifuge

    Fig 3.1 Peeler Centrifuge

    A peeler centrifuge is a device that performs by rotating filtration basket in an axis.


    A centrifuge follows on the principle of “centrifugal force to separate solids from liquids by
    density difference”. High rotation speed provides high centrifugal force that allows the
    suspended solid in feed to settle on the inner surface of basket.

    The kinds of centrifuge, horizontal, vertical peeler centrifuge.

    These classes of instrument apply to various areas such


    as fertilizers, pharmaceutical, plastics and food including artificial sweetener and modified starch.
    Principle of Peeler Centrifuge:

    “Peeler centrifuge operates on the principle of centrifugal force to separate solids from
    liquids by density difference. And high rotation speed provides high centrifugal force”

    Centrifuge used Centrient Pharmaceuticals is a Horizontal Peeler Centrifuge.

    Horizontal Peeler centrifuge (2 in no.)

    Location: Lotus plant

    The horizontal peeler centrifuge has a general structure with horizontal rotating basket, which
    sits inside of external casing.

    Working

    Main process of centrifuge are :

     Feeding: The Suspension is fed from the Storage tank to the basket rotating at full
    operational speed.
     Removal of mother liquid: Under the influence of the centrifugal force the Liquid is
    drained from the solids, through filter elements (usually filter cloth). The solids are
    collected as ‘cake’ in the basket
     Washing: If required, in order to remove the traces of mother liquor washing facility can
    be provided to thoroughly wash the solids during separation.
     Dry spinning: After giving wash or other treatment solids are further allowed to dry.
    Discharging (Scraping): Solids are ‘peeled’ off by means of full-basket-width scrapper
    and is discharged through discharging channel in front cover of the machine or conveyed
    by discharged screw.
