  • Offer Profile
  • Solid-liquid separation plays an important role in the pharmaceutical and chemical process industries. Main tasks of this process step are:

    • recovering and dewatering the solids from the liquids.
    • washing the solids from impurities and/or mother liquor
    • avoid cross contamination between the product and the environment/operator

    Our equipment is suitable to separate mechanically and/or thermally the solids from the liquid.

          The company is thus doing justice to increased requirements of industrial customers for safe handling, completely contained operation, flexibility and efficiency. The equipment meets the demand for devices suitable for use in potentially explosive areas in ATEX zones. The compact design of the pilot units facilitate transport from one place to another within the production plant – through narrow corridors and doorways or via lifts from one floor to another.

          Heinkel Group supplies various centrifuge, dryer and filterdryer units which can be installed with minimum requirement in respect to installation and cost. The equipment can also be rented for short term and product specific testing. More information about test machines can be found > here.

          Tests can be accompanied by our highly experienced process engineers, who will use test results for throughput calculations, up-scaling and documentation.
