The sanitary design of this laboratory filtering centrifuge is ideal for solid/liquid separation, washing and extractions of food ingredients, polysaccharides, crystals, botanical extracts and pharmaceuticals. The unit is rugged enough to handle dense products, including powdered metals. Separate feed and wash lines allows approximation of a production-scale centrifugation process. The basket, machined from a solid block of 316 stainless steel, has a 6-in. dia. and is 3.6-in. high with a 1-in. cap. It has a solids-holding capacity of 0.68 L, and is able to reach speeds of 4,000 rpm. The unit features a NEMA-4X electrical enclosure and base frame, a ½ h.p., totally enclosed, non-ventilated motor and a 110-V power supply. — The Western States machine Co., Hamilton, Ohio
