Centrifuges
Centrifugal separators
Centrifugal separators are high speed centrifuges that are used for the purification of suspensions and/or the separation of two liquids of different density.
Decanter centrifuges
Decanter centrifuges are another type of centrifuge; they are able to handle larger quantities of solids than separators.
Industrial centrifuges
Industrial centrifuges, for example peeler, pusher, screen scroll, inverting filter, basket and tubular centrifuges complete the range of centrifuges.
More machines
Besides centrifugal separators, decanter centrifuges and refurbished centrifuges, Centrimax also supplies other factory-rebuilt and refurbished equipment and machines for process-engineering applications.

Quality – made in Germany
Overhaul
Including mechanical guarantee
Prior to shipment we subject all centrifuges to a general overhaul or an extensive service overhaul - including mechanical guarantee. Depending on the machine type you get a 13 month Germany wide or a 7 month Europe wide guarantee.
Controller
Siemens S7 with graphic capable operator panel
General or service overhauled centrifuges are fitted with a new SPS controller from Siemens that is optimally matched to your processes and requirements. All controllers are tested on our test system prior to shipment and are put into operation by our experts on-site.

We are an owner-managed family-run company with short reaction times, constant contact persons and individual service.
The company founder Dipl.-Ing. Stephan Winkelhorst started his career in 1958 as an employee at the Fa. Westfalia Separator and earned comprehensive procedural and machinery knowledge, which he introduced into the company, Winkelhorst Trenntechnik GmbH, after 20 years of practical activity for Westfalia Separator.
Both his sons have taken over the Management, meanwhile; Stephan Winkelhorst still is active in the company.
More about Centrimax
Based on 50 years of experience in the field of centrifugal separation technology, we were able to acquire procedural and machinery know how, with the result to be able to supply our customers compentent counselling that covers all manufacturers.

The centrifuges, we deliver, go through a complete- or service overhaul, from our side. The overhauls are being carried out and supervised by experienced experts. Before delivery the centrifuges are undergone extensive tests on our own engine test bed. On request the centrifuges are delivered without any overhaul, „as is“.
General overhaul in 12 steps:
The general overhaul covers, in extend to the work steps of service overhaul, a complete disassembly of the machines in order to measure and test more precisely.
More about general overhaul
Service overhaul in 7 steps:
In the context of service overhaul our specialists test the most important machine parts for wear and tear. Bearings and seals are being replaced.
More about service overhaul
Our large stock consists of separators decanters and miscellaneous industrial centrifuges of well known manufacturers as GEA Westfalia Separator, Alfa Laval, Flottweg, Siebtechnik etc. for almost all purposes.
Our stock
On purchase of a second hand, but general overhauled centrifuge with warranty of Centrimax you can save up to 70% opposing the cost of a new machine.
Before delivery, we undergo our general-overhauled centrifuges a comprehensive function test on our engine test bed. Only after successful passing all tests, we deliver our machines with a 7 month warranty aboard or 13 month warranty within Germany.
Character of a new machine throughout general overhaul.
In order to receive a durable, dependable and long-life centrifuge, you should buy second hand centrifuges from centrifuge specialists, only.
In general, the complete- or service-overhauled centrifuges are applied a new process- and customer -specific configured PLC control (Siemens S7, OP with visualization).
The Controls are optimized on the respective centrifuge. Depending on the request of the customer the machine, the automated valve, the applied pumps and the loop system, can be controlled.
The graphical operator panel enables a user friendly operation via function keys (on customer request also with Touch panel).
Data exchange with other controls (for example central control) are realized by potential free contacts, Ethernet or a professional bus on customer request. Thus it is secured that the centrifuges are integrated into processes without any problems. Every control is tested on our engine test bed, before delivery by our experts to setup fast on-the-spot without any problems.
More about new PLC control
Each general- or service overhauled centrifuge is subjected to a comprehensive test run on our own test bench before delivery.
Thus the function as well as the vibration values are tested and documented. This ensures, that every delivered centrifuge works correctly and the vibration values are in the given range.
Various methods are known and there are relevant past experiences regarding the respective product, so no attempts have to be performed, in order to evaluate whether the desired goal can be reached via use of a centrifuge.
But there are various special procedures, where past attempts according to the suitability of centrifuges is needed or at least useful.
In this case we can perform experiments via a small amount of material with our laboratory-centrifuges.
Often it is possible to assume reliable whether a centrifuge is suitable or not, afterwards.
In case that further 1:1 experiments are needed on the spot, we can mostly supply smaller testing machines for the on the spot for a fee.
Since Centrimax constantly has over 700 centrifuges in stock, a quick delivery can be realized.
The general- or service-overhauled centrifuges, delivered by us, naturally are put into operation by our experts (if the customer desires).
Throughout our modern centrifuges-control panels (normally Siemens S7) the delivered centrifuges can be implemented into the production process without any problems.
The therefore needed data exchange with a superior (central-) control panel, is realized, depending on the customers desires, via potential free contacts (digital input/output), Ethernet or a professional bus connection.
In extend to the implementation an instruction or schooling of the staff occurs.
More about Commissioning/ process-integration
We offer world-wide service during warranty for the machines delivered by Centrimax.
The machines distributed by us fit in every company size. They optimize and ease not just your workflows, but also give an extra in security, flexibility, productivity. This way we were able to convince several market leaders and global players as well as smaller and medium sized companies of the quality of our products.

Get an offer
The average market price of a used centrifuge depends of several factors. The age of the machine to sell has a major role, but in order to evaluate other criteria as:
- condition of the machine (potential damage?)
- completeness of the machine (foundation plate exists, needed special tools exists, control cabinet exists, maybe accessories like valves or spare parts...?)
- marketability
- and many more has to be considered
Centrimax stands for a reliable and fast payment of purchased machines- and that for more than the last 40 years!
If a prompt disassembly is desired, our personal can dismount the purchased machine or we can advise or instruct a disassembly company. In each case you can rely on an accurate disassembly of the machine we purchased.
„Prompt transportation“
The transportation of the machines purchased by Centrimax, will be organized by Centrimax and either carried out by our own Truck or an instructed transport company at our expense. The seller doesn't need to take care of anything and the machines are removed quickly.
