High Grade Continuous Centrifugals

Basic layout of high grade continuous centrifugal.

High grade continuous centrifugal.

The Broadbent SPVH High Grade Continuous Centrifugal is designed to process high-grade sugar massecuites for continuous performance with batch results.

Developed from innovative technology of NQEA and partners in the Australian sugar industry, our High Grade Continuous Centrifugal design now offers a realistic alternative to Batch Centrifugals on specific products.

Key Features

• Crystal protection equipment to reduce crystal damage to indiscernible levels
• Central feed and distribution cone incorporating steam re-heating
• Primary and secondary separation area in dual angle basket
• High open area working screens permit constant high throughputs of massecuite
• Wash facilities allowing the precise application of wash water
• Very low energy consumption
• Three point external suspension using steel spring isolators
• Grease lubricated bearing configuration provides very long bearing life
• High level of automation, e.g. feed valve, wash valve, steam, etc.
• Options include stainless steel contact parts, liquid discharge offering part dissolving facility and high and low purity liquor separation within the casing.

Typical use. 

For massecuites with a large crystal size (MA) and a small variation is size (CV) then high grade continuous centrifugals offer a viable alternative to batch centrifugals in the following applications :

• Raw sugar production (inc VHP).
• Refinery affination.
• Refined white sugar.

It is important to review the massecuite MA/CV and the down stream dryer capacity when considering high grade continuous centrifugals.
