B&P Process Equipment Announces Development Of Two-Stage Pusher
B&P's Engineering Manager Douglas Marsh announces the development of a two-stage pusher
A pusher centrifuge allows processors to separate fluids from free-draining crystalline materials. A pusher functions by spinning slurries through a slotted screen to remove liquids, while a push plate cycles the solids content into a discharge area of the machine. B&P's technology can remove up to 99% of water content in crystalline slurries, with processing rates up to 90 metric tons per hour of solids. This technology is important for the production of soda ash, caustic salts, baking soda, and many other materials.
"We have been manufacturing pusher centrifuges since 1937, and have some units that are over fifty years old still running on a daily basis," says Don Konuszewski, Centrifugal Product Manager for B&P. "With the development of a two-stage pusher, we're now able to offer customers several designs, depending on their process requirements, while bringing the reliable and rugged performance of our single-stage pusher to the two-stage customer."
"The processing rates of our single-stage pusher are superior to other designs in the market place," says Douglas Marsh. "The two-stage design will assist customers with difficult or unique operations. We've seen our customers diversify their operations, and we're evolving to satisfy their processing requirements."
