Used pusher centrifuges for sale: continuous-duty equipment for high-volume separation

When your operation demands continuous, high-capacity dewatering of coarse solids, pusher centrifuges deliver efficient and robust performance for industrial-scale processes. With over 47 years of process equipment expertise, IPP provides immediate access to high-quality used pusher centrifuges sourced from 20 complete plant sites and included in our inventory of over 15,000 ready-to-ship pieces of equipment. Choosing used pusher centrifuges from IPP allows companies to reduce investment costs, speed up project delivery, and maintain reliable production operations.

Pusher centrifuges are continuous filtering centrifuges that efficiently separate and dewater large volumes of solids from liquids. They use a reciprocating pushing mechanism to advance the solids through a perforated basket, allowing for high throughputs and effective washing of the product cake.

Primary uses across industries

• In chemical processing, pusher centrifuges dewater products like ammonium sulfate, PVC resins, and sodium carbonate.
• In mineral and mining industries, they process ores, salts, and minerals for downstream use.
• In food and starch industries, they separate and dewater starches, crystals, and fibrous materials.
• In fertilizer production, they dewater granular or crystalline fertilizer products.
• In bulk pharmaceuticals, they handle large-scale separation and dewatering of API intermediates.

Types of materials processed

• Coarse or crystalline solids with good mechanical strength
• Slurries with moderate to high solids concentration
• Products that require moderate washing and low residual moisture
• Heat-sensitive materials needing rapid separation without thermal degradation

Common materials of construction

Pusher centrifuges are built to handle abrasive, corrosive, and sanitary processes:

• Stainless steel for chemical, food, and pharmaceutical-grade operations
• Hastelloy or other specialty alloys for corrosive chemical environments
• Carbon steel for general-purpose industrial use where corrosion is not critical

Key features of pusher centrifuges

• Continuous operation for high-volume solid-liquid separation
• Reciprocating pusher mechanism for efficient solids transport
• Excellent washing capability for purity-sensitive products
• Heavy-duty construction to withstand abrasive materials
• Variable speed options for process flexibility and optimization
