Solids-from-Liquid Centrifuges from Eriez HydroFlow provide continuous media-free filtration of both metallic and non-metallic solids from industrial fluids. They are successful in reducing solids in numerous applications where removal of fines is desired, including machining, grinding and sawing, high-speed centrifuge pre-filtration, water jet cutting, de-scaling operations, wire drawing, parts washers, quench tanks, UF pre-filtration and precious metals recovery.

Solids collect in individual machine tool sumps and in large central systems. "It's important to efficiently remove these chips and fines as they have a detrimental effect on coolant performance and longevity as well as causing lost production and headaches during removal," says Ron Wendt, Product Manager-Eriez HydroFlow.

All Eriez' Solids-from-Liquid Centrifuges offer years of trouble-free operation. They are available in both manually cleaned basket style (complete with reusable liner) and fully automatic self-cleaning designs.

Whether mounted on a single machine or used as a component of a complete filtration/recycling system, Solids-from-Liquid Centrifuges reduce or eliminate the use of costly filter paper, bags and cartridges, all of which require proper disposal. They are also used to supplement existing paper media or central systems to remove solids typically missed by barrier filtration. "Eriez' state-of-the-art Solids-from-Liquid Centrifuges are an ideal choice for companies that prefer to remove solids on a continuous basis without the need for disposable media," says Wendt.
