Quadramatic Centrifuge Overview
- Vertical design with bottom-discharge or top-unload options.
- Generates up to 2,000 gravities of separation force.
Key Features & Benefits
Thermal-free operation: Removes nearly all unbound moisture without heat, reducing energy costs.
Scalable: Capacities range from 1.9 ft³ to 33 ft³, adaptable for medium to full-scale production.
- Continuous, automatic operation: Engineered for reliability and minimal downtime.
Applications
Cost-effective solid-liquid separation in diverse chemical industries.
Ideal for high-volume, dependable filtration processes.

Design Features
Basket
Advanced Separation Technology
- Highly perforated filter basket prevents “water wall” formation and minimizes excessive gyration.
- Efficient liquid purging for maximum loading capacity.
Safety & Durability
- 2.0 Safety Factor (industry-leading safety standard).
- Fully machined, parallel internal/external surfaces on basket side sheets and bowl walls.
- Seam X-ray inspected and dynamically balanced for optimal performance at 900+ G-force.
Customizable Filtration
- Filter media (backing layers, plow plates) tailored to create specialized basket systems for unique product needs.
Key Benefits
- Reliable, high-performance operation in demanding industrial applications.
- Combines precision engineering with adaptable design for diverse separation tasks.
Load Sensor
Patented Ultrasonic Load Control System
Precisely monitors/controls feed rate and cake depth to optimize separation performance.
Non-invasive design: No moving parts; never contacts the cake for reliable, maintenance-free operation.
Key Benefits
- Ensures maximum discharge of high-value solids, minimizing product loss.
- Enhances process efficiency and reliability in critical separation tasks.
Discharger
Monocut Discharger
Features a full-length plow blade with a replaceable cutting tip.
Removes sedimentation in a single horizontal inward motion, simplifying operation.
Eliminates vertical seals (common contamination sources), reducing maintenance and contamination risks.
Optional Heel Removal System:
- Uses air to assist in removing residual product cake, ensuring maximum solids recovery.
- Enhances separation efficiency and minimizes product waste.
Ease of Maintenance
Vertical Tapered Basket Spindle & Bearings
Engineered for high strength, stability, and long-term durability.
Simplified maintenance design with heavy-duty ball/roller bearings.
Easy Lubrication System
- Grease fittings externally positioned for quick, tool-free lubrication.
Extended Bearing Protection
- Sealed housing purged with clean air/inert gas to prevent contamination and prolong bearing life.
OTHER AVAILABLE DESIGN FEATURES
Access Cover Options
Full-opening hydraulic hinged domed cover for optimal inspection and user accessibility.
Fume-tight construction; configurable as pressure or vacuum vessels for specialized applications.
Safety & Compatibility
Designed to handle volatile, explosive, or toxic materials safely.
Oxygen sensors ensure inert gas blanketing, maintaining safe residual oxygen levels.
Optional Accessories
- Sight glass, fume vent, custom feed/wash pipes, and Quadramatic™ CIP Option (clean-in-place).
STANDARD AVAILABLE OPTIONS
QUADRA-CLEAN AND QUADRAMATIC
MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION
Customizable Construction & Filter Media
Materials and filter mediums tailored to meet specific customer needs.
Material Options
Product-contact components (baskets, etc.)
Metals: Stainless steels, nickel alloys (Inconel, Monel, Hastelloy), titanium, duplex stainless, and exotic alloys.
Linings: Rubber, elastomers.
Coatings: HALAR®, TEFLON®, and other advanced protective finishes.
Surface Finishes

Quality Assurance
All internal/external welds exceed applicable industry standards.
CIP SYSTEM
CIP System (Clean-in-Place)
- Cleans the centrifuge process zone between batches or product changes, ensuring hygiene.
- Even coverage: Strategically placed nozzles spray all surfaces; upper sections saturated during basket rotation, lower sections flooded.
Key Benefits
- Eliminates cross-contamination risks in Western States vertical centrifuges.
- Validated performance: Riboflavin Test during Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) confirms full cleaning solvent contact on all surfaces.
AUTOMATION & CONTROLS
Automation & Control Systems
- Leader in programmable control systems and variable frequency drives for centrifuge automation.
- State-of-the-art components tailored to diverse needs, enabling maximum processing flexibility and ultrafiltration.
Operating Modes
- Fully automatic (PLC-driven) to manual control options.
Safety & Compliance
NEMA enclosures available, including explosion-proof designs (Class I, Division I, Groups C & D rated).
