Equipment for demanding processes

The chemical industry demands equipment that can withstand aggressive media, operate safely in hazardous environments, and deliver consistent performance around the clock. Our partner manufacturers understand these requirements and engineer their equipment accordingly.

From high-speed centrifuges for catalyst recovery to filter-dryers for combined processing, we provide solutions proven in the most challenging chemical processing environments.

Specific use cases

How our equipment solves real chemical processing challenges.

Catalyst recovery

Challenge

Precious metal catalysts (platinum, palladium) are expensive and must be recovered from reaction mixtures.

Solution

High-speed tubular centrifuges separate fine catalyst particles from product streams, enabling reuse and reducing raw material costs.

CEPA Z-series centrifuges

High-throughput filtration & washing

Challenge

Chemical intermediates require efficient solid-liquid separation with thorough cake washing to remove impurities, while maintaining high throughput.

Solution

FUNDA® centrifugal disc filters achieve high filtration rates with excellent cake washing in a compact footprint. The centrifugal action produces low-moisture cakes, reducing downstream drying time.

MAVAG FUNDA® disc filters

Crystal isolation & washing

Challenge

Crystallized intermediates need separation from mother liquor and washing to remove impurities, without damaging crystal structure.

Solution

Basket centrifuges provide gentle filtration with integrated washing cycles. Batch operation allows precise process control.

De-oiling metal chips

Challenge

Machining operations produce metal chips saturated with cutting oil. Oil disposal is costly and wastes a valuable resource.

Solution

De-oiling centrifuges recover up to 99% of cutting oil from metal chips for reuse, dramatically reducing fluid costs and waste disposal.

CEPA de-oiling centrifuges

Polymer clarification

Challenge

Polymer solutions contain fine particles and gels that affect product quality and downstream processing.

Solution

High-speed centrifuges remove sub-micron particles that filters cannot catch, producing crystal-clear polymer solutions.

CEPA high-speed centrifuges

Filter-drying of intermediates

Challenge

Chemical intermediates require filtration, washing, and drying, which are traditionally three separate unit operations.

Solution

Combined filter-dryers perform all steps in one contained vessel, reducing handling, contamination risk, and processing time.
