The (2) Sharples P3400 sanitary decanter centrifuges, 316SS are engineered for high-performance separation processes, making them ideal for a variety of industrial applications. With a maximum bowl speed of 4000 RPM, these centrifuges are capable of efficiently separating solids from liquids, ensuring optimal product quality and consistency. The 360-degree cake ports facilitate uniform discharge of the solid cake, while the liquid is discharged under pressure, enhancing the overall efficiency of the separation process. The inclusion of a Clean-In-Place (CIP) header and bowl nozzle further simplifies maintenance and cleaning, allowing for quick turnaround times between batches and minimizing downtime in production environments. This is particularly beneficial in industries where hygiene and product integrity are paramount, such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology.

The robust construction of these centrifuges is underscored by their 316 stainless steel material, which offers excellent resistance to corrosion and wear, ensuring longevity and reliability in demanding operational conditions. The 4.25-inch single lead bare conveyor is designed to optimize the movement of solids, while the powerful 50 HP motor, coupled with a 125:1 gearbox, provides the necessary torque and speed for efficient operation. Additionally, the 10 HP backdrive enhances the performance of the unit, allowing for smooth operation under varying load conditions. Safety features such as guards, vibration isolators, and switches are integrated into the design to protect both the equipment and operators. The unitized configuration on a stand with a control panel and variable frequency drives (VFDs) streamlines installation and operation, making these centrifuges a valuable addition to any industrial processing line.
