The LXC-40 experimental centrifugal extraction unit is a new type, rapid, and efficient liquid-liquid extraction and separation equipment. It boasts higher separation efficiency than traditional extraction equipment such as extraction tanks and columns, and is more conducive to achieving continuous production.
The centrifugal extraction machine utilizes an electric motor to drive the drum to rotate at high speed. The two mixed liquids to be separated are mixed and transferred by the shearing force generated by the impeller, and then rapidly separated by the centrifugal force produced by the high-speed rotation of the drum.
Centrifugal extraction units can be used individually or in multi-stage series for countercurrent extraction, featuring high mass transfer efficiency, short two-phase residence time, and minimal retention. They are easy to operate, allowing for adjustable speed, flow ratio, and mixing intensity as needed.
To meet customer needs, Zhengfen Distillation offers extraction equipment consultation and services: from initial process objectives or operational condition communication, planning, scheme design, customized production, and manufacturing, helping you build the ideal extraction equipment, providing you with greater peace of mind and convenience.

Mixed process
Light and heavy phase materials are fed into the mixer zone of the equipment via the feed ports at the bottom of the centrifugal extraction unit in accordance with the process ratio, powered by a high-speed motor driving the mixing structure, quickly mixing and dispersing the light and heavy phases, thereby completing the mixing and mass transfer process.
Separation process
The mixed liquid enters the drum under the action of the vortex disk or feeder. Within the cavity formed by the drum's web, the mixed liquid quickly synchronizes with the drum's rotation. Under the force of centrifugal force, the heavier phase liquid with higher density gradually moves away from the drum center and towards the drum wall during its upward flow. Conversely, the lighter phase liquid with lower density moves away from the drum wall and towards the center. After clarification, the two phases of liquid are separately channeled through their respective weir plates into the collection chamber and then discharged through the heavy and light phase outlets, completing the two-phase separation process.
Equipment Features
♦ High mixing efficiency and excellent extraction effect: Can flexibly match the mixing structure according to different material system requirements to achieve efficient extraction.
♦ Excellent two-phase separation effect: The equipment uses centrifugal force to separate the aqueous phase and organic phase, ensuring rapid and stable separation while avoiding interference from human factors.
♦ Small online liquid holding capacity: The internal liquid holding capacity of the equipment is small, for example, a 6m³/h capacity equipment can hold up to 35L.
♦ The equipment has a low magnification effect: The equipment separates using centrifugal force and employs precise mixing, making it a typical process intensification equipment with a low magnification effect.
♦ Energy-saving and environmentally friendly: Low power consumption equipment, fully enclosed, and highly efficient and energy-saving environmental protection equipment.
