Citrus extracts are widely used in the food industry as well as in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.

The aroma is obtained from orange peels through a process of crushing and extraction.

To extract the essence, it is necessary to separate the essence itself from other organic solid contaminants.

Typically, filters are used, but they are discontinuous and cumbersome.

A centrifuge, on the other hand, is continuous, self-cleaning, and highly effective. The number of phases depends on the chosen process—two or three.

The vertical disc centrifuge is ideal for this process.

Sometimes, solvents are used in the extraction process, and in this case, a centrifuge suitable for handling hazardous materials is recommended.  

For each application its own tool
