Used and surplus centrifuges from IPP, supporting solid-liquid separation in chemical, pharma and specialty manufacturing.
Buy used, surplus & second-hand centrifuges from IPP – ready to ship
If you’re searching for centrifuges in stock, you’re usually trying to solve a bottleneck: slow separation, long cycle times, or a dryer waiting on upstream solids handling. IPP brings 47+ years of experience, 20 complete plant sites and 15,000+ pieces of inventory to the table. Start with www.internationalprocessplants.com and move from “research mode” to “ready to install.”
Centrifuge selection is practical, not theoretical. Cake dryness, wash efficiency, containment, cleanability and wear all matter. Different designs fit different products, from API crystals to polymer slurries.
For a quick baseline, this definition of a centrifuge is a useful starting point before you compare discharge methods, g-force requirements and MOC choices.
Common centrifuge formats buyers request
IPP customers often evaluate peeler centrifuges, basket centrifuges and other solid-liquid separation designs based on how the product behaves in the basket and what the downstream dryer needs.
With used equipment, speed is great, but you still need discipline. Confirm basket diameter, drive type, seal arrangement, discharge method and whether the unit was run in corrosive or abrasive service.
If your application needs a unique skid layout, controls integration or a tailored separation package, IPP can coordinate alongside GPS for custom fabrication and engineered solutions.
Key features buyers look for
- Process fit: batch vs. continuous duty, slurry characteristics and target cake dryness
- Materials: stainless steel and alloys for corrosion resistance; confirm compatibility with your chemistry
- Discharge: peeler, manual, bottom discharge or automated options depending on containment needs
- Wear and maintenance: bearings, seals and basket condition; request service history when available
- Documentation: drawings and nameplate data to accelerate install planning
- Start here: search IPP’s centrifuge inventory to compare configurations quickly
If separation is slowing the whole process train, don’t wait on a new-build lead time. Use IPP’s contact page to share your product details and duty requirements, and we’ll help you shortlist centrifuges that can ship now.
FAQs about centrifuges in stock: separation capacity without the wait
What industries use centrifuges from IPP?
IPP centrifuges are used across chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, polymers, food and beverage and specialty manufacturing where solid-liquid separation is required.
Can IPP help me choose between peeler and basket centrifuges?
Yes. The right choice depends on product behavior, wash requirements, containment and downstream drying needs. Share your process details and IPP can help narrow options.
Are centrifuges available with documentation?
Many units include nameplate data and drawings. Documentation varies by asset, so request what you need early.
How quickly can an in-stock centrifuge be shipped?
Timing depends on location, rigging needs and destination. IPP can coordinate logistics and export prep once a unit is reserved.
What should I confirm before reserving a unit?
Key items include basket size, MOC, discharge method, drive type, seal arrangement and any prior service concerns (corrosive or abrasive duty).
