Centrifuge improves productivity, reduces waste and enhances recovery
One of Multotec’s key products, the H450 Conturbex Centrifuge is a continuously operating filtration centrifuge. The centrifuge features a rotating assembly that generates centrifugal forces to separate solids from liquids using a screen element.
Gerrit du Plessis, Product Specialist at Multotec, explains that this product is ideal for applications requiring the mechanical dewatering of process streams to produce a dewatered product or recover a liquid from solid waste.
The centrifuge significantly enhances mining operations by providing continuous and efficient solids-liquid separation, which is essential for dewatering and mineral recovery. Its high throughput capacity allows for the processing of large volumes of material, making it ideal for large-scale mining projects.
The centrifuge’s robust construction ensures durability in harsh mining environments, while its energy-efficient design helps reduce operational costs. This results in improved productivity, reduced waste and enhanced resource recovery, ultimately optimising the mining process.
