What Types of Industrial Centrifuges Does Riera Nadeu Offer?

Updated

Riera Nadeu manufactures industrial centrifuges for solid-liquid separation, liquid-liquid separation, and special applications, with options ranging from large heavy-duty centrifuges to filter centrifuges and continuous centrifuge systems for continuous production lines. The right choice depends on your feed material, whether you need batch or continuous operation, and the separation duty (clarification, dewatering, or liquid-liquid partitioning). Standard machines are available, and custom centrifuge solutions can be requested for non-standard processes.

Centrifuge types and what they are used for

Riera Nadeu groups its centrifuge range by separation duty rather than by a single model line:

  • Solid-liquid separation – the core application for dewatering, filtration, and clarification duties.
  • Liquid-liquid separation – for processes where two immiscible liquid phases must be split.
  • Special applications – engineered units for duties that don't fit the standard separation categories.

Within that range, the equipment types the company names are:

Type Typical role
Large centrifuges Heavy-duty separation where throughput and load capacity matter
Filter centrifuges Filtration-driven separation, producing a filtered solid
Continuous centrifuge systems Continuous production lines that cannot tolerate batch cycling
Batch centrifuges Processes run in discrete batches rather than a continuous feed

If your process runs around the clock, a continuous centrifuge system avoids the stop-start of batch operation. If your product changes between campaigns or volumes are lower, a batch machine is usually the more practical fit.

Which industries and applications these centrifuges serve

Riera Nadeu positions its centrifuges across several sectors rather than a single vertical:

  • Pharmaceuticals – pharma centrifuge systems for API and intermediate processing.
  • Fine chemicals – centrifuge equipment for chemical industry separation duties.
  • Food processing – including culinary centrifuges.
  • Materials technology – separation steps in advanced material production.

The company states that each centrifuge unit is engineered for reliability, safety, and ease of operation, and that its machines are trusted across these multiple sectors. That matters when you are matching a centrifuge to a regulated environment: the separation principle may be the same, but the materials of construction, containment, and cleaning requirements differ by industry.

Standard machines vs custom centrifuge solutions

Riera Nadeu offers two routes:

  1. Standard industrial centrifuge machines – selected from the existing product range when your duty matches a catalogued configuration.
  2. Custom centrifuge solutions – requested when your process falls outside the standard range, for example unusual feed properties, a specific separation target, or a non-standard layout.

The practical starting point is to define your separation duty (solid-liquid, liquid-liquid, or special), your operating mode (batch or continuous), and your industry constraints. That combination determines whether a standard unit fits or whether you need to open a customization discussion.

Where to go next

Riera Nadeu's centrifuge range sits alongside its drying and milling lines — spray dryers, flash dryers, and RINA jet mill micronizers — so if your process continues from separation into drying or particle size reduction, the same supplier covers those downstream steps. The company notes more than 70 years of engineering experience, dating its industry presence to 1952.

To move from type selection to a specific machine, review the full centrifuge product range and then request a quote or a custom configuration based on your separation duty and operating mode.
