Pusher Centrifuges: Transforming Pharma Processes
Pharma Centrifuges by Ferrum: Precision for the Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industry
At Smart Gulf Services, we deliver high-performance pusher centrifuge solutions from Ferrum, engineered specifically for the chemical industry, pharmaceutical production, and fine chemical processing across the Gulf. With decades of years of experience, our pusher centrifuge design meets all global GMP and ATEX standards, ensuring purity, reliability, and safety for even the most demanding processes.
What are Pusher Centrifuges and how do they work?
Pusher centrifuges are specialized industrial machines used for separating solids from liquids in various processes. They operate by using a rotating basket to push the mixture against a screen, allowing the liquid to drain while retaining solid particles. This efficient separation process is vital in pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
✅ Designed for Pharma. Built for Performance.
Ferrum’s stage pusher centrifuges are ideal for a wide range of applications in pharmaceutical and chemical processing. Each system is configured with:
Oscillating pushing motion for low-shear handling
Optimized movement of the pusher plate to prevent crystal breakage
Continuous filtration centrifuge capability for 24/7 production
Modular options for high-risk, toxic APIs (HAPI)
Discharge end design preventing contamination
Our centrifuge process area layout includes an inlet screw conveyor, inlet pipe, flush liquid system, and cleaning nozzles for fully contained handling and periodic flushing.
⚗️ Small-Scale to Continuous Pharma Production
Whether you're working with small pilot plants, laboratory centrifuges, or transitioning to full-scale continuous operation, Ferrum’s machines offer exceptional adaptability:
High capacity + high speed with minimal impurities
Feed slurry optimization to maintain consistent throughput
Gentle separation of suspension, polymers, or fine powders
Ideal for food processing, cotton seed delinting, and mining as well
Our systems manage everything from formation of crystals to slurry dewatering while maintaining integrity and particle size control.
🧪 Key Technical Advantages of Ferrum Pharma Centrifuges
Long basket design and shafting assembly for durability
Pusher plate engineered to minimize wear and abrasion
