Choosing used peeler centrifuges from IPP allows companies to save on capital costs, shorten project timelines, and maintain consistent production output.

Peeler centrifuges are batch-operated filtering centrifuges designed to separate solids from liquids and automatically remove the cake by scraping or “peeling” it off the filter media. They are ideal for applications where solids must be removed without excessive breakage, and where thorough washing of the cake is often required.

Primary uses across industries

• In pharmaceutical production, peeler centrifuges separate and purify active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and intermediates.
• In chemical manufacturing, they recover catalysts, pigments, and specialty chemicals.
• In food processing, they dewater food products like starches, proteins, and sugar crystals.
• In fine chemical production, they process specialty powders requiring high purity and gentle handling.
• In biotechnology, they handle biomass separations and sensitive biological materials.

Types of materials processed

• Crystalline products requiring gentle separation and minimal breakage
• Fine powders and specialty chemicals requiring extensive washing and purity
• Heat-sensitive solids requiring rapid processing without degradation
• Slurries with moderate to high solids content

Common materials of construction

Peeler centrifuges are engineered for chemical resistance, sanitation, and heavy-duty operation:

• Stainless steel for pharmaceutical, food, and chemical applications
• Hastelloy and other high-performance alloys for highly corrosive environments
• Specialty coatings or linings for abrasive or reactive materials

Key features of peeler centrifuges

• Automatic solid cake discharge using mechanical peeling blades
• Batch operation for precise control over separation and washing cycles
• Designs compatible with CIP (clean-in-place) systems for sanitary processes
• Variable speed controls for gentle handling of fragile solids
• Excellent washing efficiency to meet high-purity product specifications
