What is a peeler centrifuge?

IPP offers used peeler centrifuges designed for efficient solid-liquid separation in pharmaceutical, chemical, and specialty material production.

A guide to batch separation with horizontal centrifuge systems

With more than 47 years of experience and 15,000+ pieces of process equipment across 20 global sites, IPP provides immediate access to used peeler centrifuges for solid-liquid separation. These batch-processing centrifuges are ideal for recovering wet cakes, crystals, and solids from slurries in regulated and high-value industries.

Peeler centrifuges are relied on when consistent, high-speed separation is required for:

• API crystallization and product recovery
• Fine chemical production
• Agrochemical and pigment processing
• Polymer slurries and intermediates
• Starch, sugar, and specialty food-grade compounds

A peeler centrifuge uses centrifugal force to separate solids from liquids inside a rotating horizontal basket. After dewatering through filtration and spinning, a mechanical arm “peels” the solid cake from the filter media. The batch cycle is repeated with high precision and consistency.

Benefits include:

• Gentle cake handling
• Excellent wash and drying capabilities
• Closed operation for solvent or toxic handling
• Uniform product quality from batch to batch

IPP’s inventory includes peeler centrifuges built from:

• Stainless steel 316L for pharmaceutical applications
• Hastelloy or alloy-clad steel for corrosive or hazardous materials
• Pressure-rated and jacketed options for vacuum or temperature-sensitive processes

Customers choose IPP for proven, in-stock peeler centrifuges with documentation and fast shipping:

• Batch precision: Repeatable cycles for critical product recovery
• Sanitary and explosion-proof options: For GMP or hazardous duties

Are peeler centrifuges good for pharma or GMP applications?

Yes. Many IPP units are built to sanitary specs with smooth interiors, and several were previously used in GMP-certified facilities.

What types of solids can peeler centrifuges handle?

They’re ideal for wet cakes, crystals, and fine solids where filtration and drying matter.

Can I get documentation or mechanical drawings?

Absolutely. IPP provides technical specs, port layouts, and materials of construction details where available.
