Company Philosophy

Decanters and separators are increasingly being used for broadly environmental projects. This could be for example, recovering spent mineral oil, recovered vegetable oils purified for biodiesel or the treatment of wet wastes and industrial effluent generally. Many projects are concerned with the removal of solid waste and the purification of wastewater to achieve discharge consent limits. These consents are becoming more restrictive to prevent pollution of
precious water courses. 

Water is also a valuable resource and is increasingly expensive to source. It follows that water re-use is also driver of many capital projects. 

We also see a growing demand for process improvements that result in improved environmental impacts and sustainability. So the drivers that used to mainly financial such as cost reduction and financial payback are also changing.

Centri-Force has been focussing its expertise on these changing demands in a wide range of diverse processes. Our problem-solving capability and technical expertise coupled with after sales support is where we see the future of the Company unfolding.

Of course, we know that will continue to be a demand for Decanter Centrifuges and High Speed Disc Stack Separators for many industrial processes. Anywhere where there is a need to perform continuous separation of solids and liquids as part of the process, there is likely to be role for Centri-Force. This can be a separation of solids from liquids and liquids from liquids where there are two or three distinct phases. This frequently requires some form of heat treatment either heating or cooling, upstream or downstream. This is in essence is what Centri-
Force provides. The sale of process equipment, new or refurbished, coupled with comprehensive technical backup and after sales support from our workshop and field service engineers will continue to be our core capability.

Centri-Force operates in a wide range of market sectors including milk and cheese production, brewing, distilling, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, mineral oil, vegetable oil refining, anaerobic digestion and animal bi-products.

The Company has demonstrated that we are well placed to help in the development of new products and processes because of our expertise in separation and a willingness to get involved.

Our range of rental units provide a means of proving processes at small production scale which allows new products and processes to make the transfer from lab scale to production scale without committing large capital expenditure.

We welcome this approach and are pleased to help established companies with new projects and start-up ventures alike.
