The increasing demand for conical plate centrifuge from the pharmaceutical and industrial sectors will drive the growth of the global conical plate centrifuge market.

A conical plate centrifuge is a kind of centrifuge used frequently in industrial sector and laboratory setups in order to make separation of solid and liquid phase in a mixture under the action of centrifugal force. It is described on the basis of its design. The centrifuge here comprises of a series of conical disks arranged in a vertical fashion and having small inter-plate clearance. As the contents are whipped at high speed the denser particles solids will move outwards towards the walls of the centrifuge while the lighter liquid moves inwards. The most important strength in the conical plate centrifuge is that this centrifuge is effective in separation of fine particles which may not be easily separated by other centrifuges. A higher rate of separation is assured by the extended surface area offered by these conical plates. During rotation, the slurry is exposed to accelerations, hence giving the acceleration induced sedimentation more force than the normal forces of gravity. This is particularly useful in applications where large amount of separation is required, or when the amount of finely divided solids is small. The conical plate centrifuges are employed in food processing sector, chemical sector, pharmaceutical business and wastewater treatment line. Their high efficiency and relatively less energy consumption make them ideal or preferred for use in many different processes/industries.
