📋 Description
The Used Flottweg Z4E-3-441 EXP Tricanter Centrifuge is a solid bowl centrifuge designed for continuous three-phase separation — separating two immiscible liquids and solids simultaneously (e.g., oil, water, and solids). Built in 2021, this unit is in excellent condition and features stainless steel product contact surfaces and a robust carbon steel frame.
With a maximum bowl speed of 4000 RPM and driven by a 20 kW motor (approx. 27 HP) at 3 Phase / 50 Hz / 400 Volt, the centrifuge delivers high throughput with precision separation. The unit includes a 360-degree solids discharge system lined with wear-resistant liners, a feed pipe, grease lubrication pump, and a fully enclosed casing and base.
This Flottweg Tricanter also comes with a dedicated control panel for system operation and monitoring. Previously used in a chemical processing application, it is suitable for heavy-duty, industrial-grade operations.
