meeting the challenge
a key role in many industrial processes, including the production of insulin, is to separate liquid phases and solids from each other
centrifugation can be utilized to separate the cellular debris from the released protein
purpose of the centrifugation

working principleshow a disk stack centrifuge works
• separates solids and liquid phases in a continuous process• uses extremely high centrifugal forces• denser solids are forced outwards against the solid bowl wall• less dense liquid phases form concentric inner layers• inserting special plates provides additional surface settling area

the whole is the sum of partsparts of the disk stack centrifuge
inlet zone• reduces shear forces and amount of foaming• increases and avoids disturbances of the
separation processes occurring in the bowl
liquid discharge section• important that oxygen pick-up is kept to a
minimum• temperature increases in the liquid must be
avoided to prevent problems later in the process
solids discharge section• remove solids by continuous solids discharge, intermittent solids discharge or
manual removal

disk stack area• heart of the centrifuge• key to good separation performance
lies in the efficiency of the disk stack• layout and design of the distribution
holes ensure that the process flow is evenly spread among all the disks

keys to exceptional performancedesign considerations
efficiency depends on• solids volume fraction• sedimentation area• rotational speed
efficiency can be improved if • particle diameter is increased (coagulation, flocculation)• residence time • distance for sedimentation

keys to exceptional performancedesign considerations
desirables
• high centrifuge speed• large particle size• large density difference between solids and liquids• large radius• small viscosity
