Salts & fertilizers separation
Continuous filtration can suit free-draining crystals, while demanding washing or variable feed may favour a batch route. Review mother-liquor chemistry, fines and crystal strength.

Equipment families to evaluate
HR
Pusher Centrifuge
Continuous feeding and filtration with reciprocating pushing action to move a permeable cake through successive basket sections.

LLW
Screen Scroll Centrifuge
A continuously operating filtration centrifuge using a screen and differential-speed scroll to separate and convey solids.

The engineering conversation
A stable, free-draining crystal bed can support continuous filtration, while high fines or demanding washing may lead to a different route. Mother-liquor chemistry governs contact-material and seal selection. Temperature shifts can change solubility, create deposits or alter the crystal-size distribution. The receiving conveyor must accommodate the actual wet product rather than an assumed free-flowing dry solid.
Compare HR, LLW and applicable basket families using the same feed sample and quality targets. Require a clearly defined feed envelope and material balance. Avoid adopting model capacity from a different salt without evidence that the filtration, conveying and corrosion conditions are comparable.
