The GQ and GF Series of Tubular Centrifuges are designed to operate at high speeds to generate up to 13,600 gravities of centrifugal force.Tubular centrifuges are used for the recovery or the elimination of liquid suspended impurities, and for the separation of two (2) non-miscible liquids of different densities.The GQ and GF are available either as a clarifying type or separating type of tubular centrifuge.
Clarifying Type (Solid-Liquid Separation)
The GQ and GF configured as a clarifying type of tubular centrifuge is designed to separate low percentages of solids between 1 and 0.001 microns in size which are suspended in a liquid.The high centrifugal force generated causes the solids to migrate to the wall of the centrifuge tube where they are retained.The clarified liquid is the discharged at the top of the tube.
Separating Type (Liquid-Liquid Separation)
The GQ configured as a separating type of tubular centrifuge is designed to separate two (2) immiscible liquids of differing densities.The high centrifugal force generated causes the high density liquid to migrate toward the tube wall while the lower density liquid is displaced to the center of the tube.The separated liquids are then discharged at the top of the tube with dedicated outlets.
Separating Type (Liquid-Liquid-Solid Separation)
The GF can also be configured as a separating type of tubular centrifuge to separate three (3) phase solutions.If any solids are present they will collect on the wall of the centrifuge tube while the two (2) separated liquids are discharged at the top of the tube by the dedicated outlets.
