Filtration Centrifuges
The Fluid-Quip Filtration Centrifuges offer a new innovative approach to liquid solids separation technology. The filtration centrifuges have internal washing stages to provide efficient counter current displacement washing inside the machine.
This new technology is the cornerstone of the Maximized Stillage Co-Products System available for recovering protein from whole stillage in dry grind ethanol plants.
The Filtration Centrifuge also offers an alternative to pressure screens for corn wet milling fiber washing and dewatering applications.
FQ-FC3000
DESIGN FEATURES
- The FC3000 is a horizontal, cylindrical centrifuge designed for heavy-duty, continuous operation in washing, filtering and separating of fiber or other solids.
- Customizable machine configuration with 0-4 countercurrent washing steps
- Cylindrical screen bowl design uses slotted screens and can vary slot size at each stage
- Total screen area of 4.7 M2 with 1000 G at bowl wall
- Motor and conveyor speed controlled by PLC to maintain constant cake moisture
Specification
- Maximum capacity of 80 m3/hr. of suspension input and 20 m3/hr. of solids output per hour.
- Maximum of 268 horsepower (200 kW), the centrifuge can operate at up to 1500 rpm; however, the preferred maximum working speed is 1200 rpm. Protection against mechanical overload is provided by a mechanical torque limiter on screw conveyor shaft.

FQ-FC3000
The FQ-FC3000 Filtration Centrifuge is the latest generation of a new machine design (Patented) for fiber washing and de-watering processes in solids extraction applications such as crystals or fibers.
The FQ-FC3000 features maximal centrifugal separation with internal counter-current washing stages.
The FQ-FC3000 is a horizontal, cylindrical centrifuge designed for heavy-duty, continuous operation in washing, filtering and separating of fiber or other solids and has a maximum capacity of 80 m3/hr. of suspension input and 20 m3/hr. of solids output per hour.
Designed to be driven by a maximum of 268 horsepower (200 kW), the centrifuge can operate at up to 1500 rpm; however, the preferred maximum working speed is 1200 rpm. Protection against mechanical overload is provided by a mechanical torque limiter on screw conveyor shaft.
