public class SolidsCentrifuge
extends SolidsSeparator

Solids centrifuge for bio-processing solid-liquid separation.

Centrifugal separation of solids from liquids. Typically used for cell mass recovery, protein precipitation, and other bio-slurry separations. Higher energy consumption but better separation efficiency than gravity-based methods.

Typical parameters:

• Solids recovery: 95-99.5%
• Cake moisture: 30-60%
• Specific energy: 3-10 kWh/m3
• G-force: 1000-10000 g

Version:

1.0
