Product catalog summary
Krauss-Maffei VZU-G Gypsum Centrifuge Overview
The Krauss-Maffei VZU-G gypsum centrifuge is designed for efficient gypsum dewatering, particularly in flue gas desulfurization (FGD) processes. It offers high purity and low residual moisture in gypsum slurry, making it highly reusable. The centrifuge is known for its reliability and efficiency, with over 400 units operating globally.

Process Advantages
The centrifuge outperforms traditional belt filters by offering significant cost savings, lower cake moisture, reduced power consumption, and less space requirement. It provides a cleaner and quieter processing environment, enhancing workplace conditions. A life-cycle study indicates substantial cost savings over 20 years when using these centrifuges in power plants.

Technical Specifications
The centrifuge operates in a batch-type filtration mode with basket diameters ranging from 1,000 to 1,600 mm and volumes from 220 to 1,300 liters. It can handle solids content from 10-70% and particle sizes from 20-100 µm, with a throughput of up to 10 tons per hour. Materials used include various grades of stainless steel and nickel-based alloys.

Dimensions and Weights
Four models are available, with dimensions ranging from 1,800 mm to 2,900 mm in length and weights from 4,300 kg to 13,000 kg.

Services Offered
ANDRITZ KMPT provides comprehensive services including spare parts supply, reconditioned units, repairs, maintenance, advisory services, installation, commissioning, remote diagnostics, and 24-hour on-call service. They also offer customer training and maintenance contracts.

Conclusion
The Krauss-Maffei VZU-G centrifuge is ideal for applications requiring low residual moisture and high purity. Its design ensures reliability and efficiency, making it a preferred choice for gypsum dewatering in various industrial settings.

Krauss-Maffei VZU-G gypsum centrifuge Top performance The development of many different processes for desulfurization of flue gases power plants started more than four decades ago. Washing the flue gas with a limestone slurry became established as the most successful method. Efficient dewatering provides gypsum slurry as an end product with good reusability. High purity levels and low residual moisture are best obtained using Krauss-Maffei vertical centrifuges. ANDRITZ KMPT has extensive experience in gypsum dewatering, as well as in corrosion and wear protection as it has over 400 machines...

Centrifuges provide greater reliability and thus require less spare capacity Krauss-Maffei vertical basket centrifuges’ simple, rugged design increases reliability in day-to-day operations compared to belt filters. This means that spare capacity requirements are minimized. To assure 99.5%+ availability, only one spare machine is needed for every 6 operating machines. Belt filters typically require 50-100% installed capacity to maintain the same reliability. I Centrifuges require less space For any given throughput, a centrifuge installation requires only 1/3 the floor space of a belt filter installation....
