New generation centrifuges of better efficiency and greater throughput

Siebtechnik’s new generation Conturbex centrifuges – the CX Series – is claimed to offer economic benefits to operation and maintenance, in addition to larger machine sizes and greater throughput capacity.

This modern machine design has been produced under the aspect of process efficiency and technical reliability with maximum throughputs with a view to minimise component expenditure. In the conceptual design of the CX range, less than 20 main components have been used, broken down into 4 groups: base frame, rotor unit, product housing, oil supply.

In 1938, the first vertical continuous Siebtechnik worm/screen centrifuges were developed for industrial applications with a diameter of 1,000mm. Under the product name Conturbex, the first horizontal worm/screen centrifuge was supplied by Siebtechnik in 1948. Today, several thousand Siebtechnik Conturbex centrifuges are operating worldwide.

Siebtechnik GmbH is based in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany. www.siebtechnik.com
