Centrifugal Separators, also called Disc Stack Centrifuges, utilize centrifugal separation principle to achieve separation. That is, they employ centrifugal forces to accelerate sedimentation of solid particles or liquid droplets.
Lube oil separators, milk fat separators (cream separators), fuel oil separators, marine oil (onboard ship) separators, fish oil separators are some of the most common applications of Centrifugal Separators. Sungov manufactures these Centrifugal Separators in purifier and clarifier configurations. Sungov offers two types of separators currently, a manual cleaning bowl centrifuge and a self-cleaning bowl centrifuge. Depending on the application, either model with either configuration is offered to the customer.
| Model No. | Type | Configuration | Application |
| SJP-12C | Manual Bowl | Clarifier | Separate solids from oil/fuel |
| SJP-12P | Manual Bowl | Purifier | Separate solids and water from oil/fuel |
| SJP-22C | Self-Cleaning Bowl | Clarifier | Separate solids from oil/fuel |
| SJP-22P | Self-Cleaning Bowl | Purifier | Separate solids and water from oil/fuel |
The biggest advantage of Centrifugal Separators over other separation technologies is the lack of routine consumables like filter elements, not to mention the downtime for cleaning or replacing the filter elements. Hence, Centrifugal Separators (self-cleaning type) are best suited to continuous flow operations.
Sungov can custom design Oil Conditioning Systems to include a Centrifugal Separator stage. Such a typical system may include a Centrifugal Separator, a heater, and a feed pump with Strainer. These systems are offered as a portable oil filter cart for treatment of working fluids like lube oil, hydraulic oil, and similar applications. Treated oils can be performance tested to comply with ISO 4406 cleanliness scale.

Frequently Asked Questions
A centrifugal separator utilizes centrifugal force to separate components in a mixture based on their density. By rapidly spinning the mixture, denser particles are forced outward, allowing for efficient separation of solids from liquids or liquids of different densities.
A disc stack centrifuge features a series of stacked discs within a rotating bowl, creating multiple separation zones. It operates at high speeds, typically around 4,300 rpm, and can achieve centrifugal forces up to 10,000 times gravity (10,000 x G). These centrifuges are ideal for separating fine particles and emulsions in various industries.
The centrifugal separation process involves applying centrifugal force to a mixture, causing denser components to move outward and lighter components to remain closer to the center. This process is widely used for separating solids from liquids or separating immiscible liquids based on their density differences.
In water treatment, centrifugal separation is employed to remove solids, oils, and other contaminants from water. The process enhances purification by efficiently separating unwanted particles, leading to cleaner water suitable for various industrial applications.
