Horizontal pilot centrifuge for pharmaceutical applications
Achieve precise separation of solid and liquid phases with compact flexibility, ideal for refining active ingredients and fine powders in controlled pilot settings.
The Horizontal Pilot Plant Basket Centrifuge series—H 300 P, H 320 P, and H 500 P—by HEINKEL meets the stringent demands of pharmaceutical, chemical, and food processing industries. These centrifuges offer exceptional separation efficiency with their basket design, suitable for small-scale and R&D environments. Designed for processing solids, slurries, and cakes, they ensure precise separation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), flavorings, and powdered metals. The automatic operation is facilitated by PLC controls, allowing seamless scale-up from pilot to mass production—ideal for fast-tracking product development. Their compact, cGMP-compliant construction supports easy integration and minimal installation efforts. With variable basket diameters ranging from 300mm to 500mm, these centrifuges adapt to different material properties and process requirements. The equipment is made with corrosion-resistant materials to uphold strict hygiene standards. For maintenance, the “plug and use” approach streamlines installation and cleaning, optimizing operational downtime. HEINKEL also provides customization options and engineering support to tailor configurations to specific production needs.
