The Krauss-Maffei vertical basket centrifuge VZU has been specifically designed for processing intermediate products in the pharmaceutical, food, and fine chemicals industries. With minimum product loss, optimum cleanability, minimum dead zone design, and inspection capability.

The requirements established for minimum product loss, such as optimum cleaning ability, minimum dead zone design, and inspection capability, are all fulfilled in this development.

Operating benefits include flexibility to adapt to a wide variety of product requirements, effective and even filling, intensive solids washing, and optimized solids discharge. In addition, the vibration damping system developed for this unit using three column supports is superior to the old standard and results in smooth operation and minimal downtime for maintenance.

Process advantages
Simple assembly and maintenance

Machines delivered full assembled, quick-action closure rings, hydraulically operated cover hinge, housing cover opens fully.

Efficient product discharge

Due to optimized discharge geometry and pneumatic residual heel removal.

Minimum product loss

Design contains a minimum of installed parts. Nitrogen supply for residual heel removal is integrated into the scraper arm. Open design for solids discharge.

Homogeneous product distribution

Product distribution, independent of the slurry concentration and flow rate, using the dynamic feed system.
