Chemical centrifuges

Ferrum Centrifuges for the Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industries

At Smart Gulf Services, we proudly represent Ferrum, a world-renowned Swiss manufacturer of industrial centrifuges, exclusively serving the chemical industry and pharmaceutical industries across the GCC. Whether you are processing immiscible liquids, performing high-speed filtration, or managing sensitive separation processes, Ferrum centrifuges deliver unmatched precision, performance, and durability.

What are Chemical Centrifuges and How Do They Work?

Chemical centrifuges are advanced separation devices used extensively in the chemical industry and pharmaceutical industries to isolate components within a liquid mixture based on their density differences. These machines apply centrifugal force by spinning the sample rapidly in a rotor, causing heavier or denser particles to move outward and settle at the bottom of the tube, while lighter components remain closer to the center.

This high-speed centrifugation process enables precise separation of solids from liquids, or two immiscible liquids, making it ideal for filtration, purification, and even biochemistry applications like DNA isolation. In industrial settings, sedimentation centrifuges, ultracentrifuges, and laboratory centrifuges are commonly used depending on the scale and purpose.

Key Components of Chemical Centrifuges:

  • Rotor: The spinning unit that holds samples or process chambers

  • Test tubes or filter bags: Depending on lab or industrial use

  • CIP systems: Allow for automated clean-in-place processes

  • Control panel: Sets rotational speed and relative centrifugal force based on the application

In large-scale setups, such as those used in Ferrum centrifuges, the separation process is continuous and highly efficient, allowing for automated discharge of solids, recovery of the liquid phase, and real-time adjustments to maintain quality.

⚗️ Advanced Separation in Chemical Applications

Ferrum’s high-efficiency centrifuge systems are engineered to handle a wide range of chemical separation challenges:

  • Liquid-liquid and solid-liquid centrifugation

  • Sedimentation centrifuges for fine particle removal

  • Efficient filter bag integration for batch processes

  • Accurate discharge of processed material

  • Control over rotational speed and relative centrifugal force

Our systems are optimized for the separation of ammonium chloride, sodium sulfate, sodium bicarbonate, and similar chemical products widely used in Gulf manufacturing and export.

🧪 Precision Support for Chemical Processing

Ferrum centrifuges are also used in pilot-scale and production environments within the pharmaceutical industries. Applications include:

  • Laboratory-scale centrifugation using test tubes and microcentrifuges

  • R&D use in DNA and biochemistry workflows

  • Isolation of the liquid phase from dense sediment at the bottom of the tube

  • Reliable cip (clean-in-place) and filtration for sensitive pharma ingredients

🏭 Ferrum: Swiss Quality for Large-Scale Separation

Unlike generic suppliers, Smart Gulf Services provides only Swiss-engineered Ferrum centrifuges, which are recognized for:

  • Unmatched reliability under high centrifugal force

  • Versatile rotor and discharge configurations

  • Long service life, minimal maintenance
