Hermle Sieva 3 Filtration Centrifuge

The SIEVA-3 Filtration Centrifuge is the perfect centrifuge for cake filtration. An opening in the lid allows the (optional) 500mL centrifugal basket to be refilled during rotation. The solids remain in the centrifugal basket and the liquid can run off through a opening on the right side. The inspection window in the centrifuge lid is made of safety glass and enables a visual monitoring of the centrifugation.

The SIEVA-3 is very versatile and suitable for various applications. The stainless steel housing and parts makes the SIEVA-3 corrosion resistant, and easy to clean.

The operating principle of this centrifuge is the cake filtration, the filtration in which the required pressure force is generated in the centrifugal field.

The perforated rotor is lined with a filter cloth. Due to the continuous inflow of the suspension, a filter cake builds up in the rotor, while the clarified liquid drains through the rotor casing or on the edge of the basket.

The filtration centrifuge Sieva-3 is mainly used for batch separation of relatively coarse particles or crystalline substances.

Advanced microprocessor controls allow for setting/displaying of the rotational speed in either rpm or rcf. In addition to retrieving saved programs, the easy to use front panel can adjust accel/decel rates, and change the end of run alarm tone.
