D parikh engg works provides horizontal pharma peeler. It is a batch type automatic/semi automatic filtering centrifuge. This horizontal pharma peeler has a horizontal axis of rotation.. The main application is for a clean room installation, through the wall using a flexible membrane as required in pharmaceutical applications. A filter media is fixed to the cylindrical surface of a perforated basket. The feed slurry is directed to the basket wall using a feed pipe. Feeding is carried out while the basket is rotating at an appropriate speed. Feeding is stopped, after the required cake is built,. The centrifuge is run for some time to partially dewater the solids. Feeding can be repeated if there is adequate space for further buildup of cake. After feeding, washing is carried out by pumping wash liquid through the feed cum wash pipe. The basket is run at spinning speed to complete the dewatering process. The speed of the basket is reduced to scraping speed. The scraper knife cuts the solids, discharging them through the chute. Some material remains on the filter media after scraping and is called residual heel. This heel can be removed by using the heel removal system. Using a cip system centrifuge can be cleaned.
