Tubular Bowl Centrifuge Working Principle

The tubular bowl centrifuge is a high-speed separation device widely used in industries like pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, chemical processing, and fine food production. It is specifically designed to separate very fine solids from liquids or to clarify liquid mixtures with extremely low solid content.

Working Principle

The tubular bowl centrifuge operates on the principle of centrifugal separation:

● Feeding the Mixture
The feed liquid containing suspended solids is introduced into a horizontally or vertically mounted tubular bowl.

● High-Speed Rotation
The bowl spins at extremely high speeds (often 10,000–30,000 rpm), generating a strong centrifugal force many times greater than gravity.

● Separation by Density
Under this force:

    • Denser solid particles move outward toward the wall of the bowl.

    • Lighter liquid components stay closer to the axis of rotation.

● Continuous or Batch Discharge

    • The clarified liquid is collected from the center or top of the bowl.

    • Solids accumulate along the bowl wall and are either removed continuously (in some designs) or manually discharged in batches.

● Optional Features

    • Some tubular centrifuges include nozzle or valve systems for controlled discharge of solids.

    • Cooling or heating jackets can be used for temperature-sensitive materials.
