Product catalog summary

Overview
The Podbielniak® Extractor Centrifuges are designed for precise and efficient extraction and separation in a single machine. They are particularly effective in flavoring applications, such as manufacturing citrus beverage flavorings by transferring oils from citrus fruits to a water/alcohol mix.

Functionality
The machine uses centrifugal force combined with counter-current flow to achieve high degrees of extraction and separation. It operates as multiple extractors/separators in one, offering several advantages over traditional methods like gravity towers and mixer-settlers.

Provides 3-5 theoretical stages of extraction.
Reduces solvent inventory and usage.
Minimizes maintenance and wear.
Combines extraction and separation in one unit, reducing capital expenditure.
Handles liquids with specific gravity differentials as low as 0.01.
Modular design for easy reconfiguration.
Available in food-grade and explosion-proof configurations.

Applications
The Pod is versatile, suitable for a wide range of applications including:

Pharmaceuticals: Penicillin, Tylosin, Erythromycin
Fermentations and Citric Acid production
Biodiesel Reaction & Washing
Mining: Uranium, Vanadium
Aromatics and Estrogen Extraction
Solvent Extraction and Ion Exchange
Water Washing and Liquid/Liquid Separation
Hydrogen Peroxide processing

Real-world Utility and Expertise

A unique solution for extraction, separation, reaction, and washing – in a single machine By combining centrifugal force with countercurrent flow, B&P’s Podbielniak (Pod) Extractor Centrifuges achieve high degrees of extraction and separation in a single machine. In simple terms, think of the Pod as several extractors/separators in one. Unlike gravity/ pulse towers, mixer-settlers, and batch reactor tanks , the B&P Pod’s high g-force design enables you to process more in less floorspace, at less power usage: A simple idea, a better solution Inside the Pod are concentric, perforated bands.
