This Krauss Maffei KM125 is a used laboratory centrifuge — specifically a vertical basket centrifuge with bottom discharge — offered in reconditioned condition from a seller based in Spain. Vertical basket centrifuges of this type, sometimes referred to as peeler centrifuges, are used in laboratory and industrial process environments to separate solids from liquids through centrifugal force, with the scraper or peeler knife allowing the accumulated cake to be discharged from the basket without dismantling the machine. Krauss Maffei is a well-established German engineering group with a long history of manufacturing centrifuges, filtration systems, and separation equipment for the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing industries.
All product-contact parts on this machine are manufactured from AISI 316L stainless steel, making it suitable for use with corrosive or sensitive process materials. The basket measures 1,250 mm in diameter and 625 mm in height, giving a useful capacity of 500 litres. The maximum product load is rated at 650 kg at a reference density of 1.25 kg/dm³, and the basket reaches a maximum operating speed of 900 rpm. The machine weighs 6,400 kg and is mounted on an inertia base plate, which is a rigid suspension arrangement designed to isolate vibration during operation.
The drive system consists of a 37 kW (50 hp) ATEX-rated electric motor, indicating the machine is certified for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. The lid is fitted with three manual-opening locks and is raised hydraulically via a dedicated hydraulic power unit included with the machine. Lid features include a flat inspection window, an angled inspection window, a cake scraper, nitrogen inlet fittings, and connections for a wash pipe and a feed pipe. A pneumatic safety piston prevents inadvertent lid opening, and the machine is equipped with a lid-open detector, a lid safety piston detector, and tachometer detectors fitted to both the machine and the motor, complete with a junction box.
The unit has been reconditioned prior to listing.
