Fining / Processing – Seital Hermetic Separator/Centrifuge – B001183

Seital Hermetic Separator/Centrifuge System
Item # B001183

The Seital Hermetic Separator/Centrifuge Model SE101HBIV-Q3P1 is a small-capacity, self-cleaning, hermetically sealed disc-stack centrifuge manufactured by SPX FLOW Seital Separation. It is designed primarily for liquid clarification and solids removal in beverage, brewing, dairy, and food-processing applications.

What the model designation likely means

While SPX does not publicly publish a complete decoding guide for every suffix, the nomenclature can generally be interpreted as:

• SE101 – Smallest production size in the SE100 series.
• H – Hermetic design (sealed product inlet/outlet system to minimize oxygen pickup and CO₂ loss).
• Hermetic versions are commonly used for beer, sparkling wine, juice, and other oxygen-sensitive products.
• B – Usually indicates a clarification configuration for beverage applications.
• IV – Version/build specification.
• Q3P1 – Application-specific execution package and automation configuration; these codes often vary by customer process requirements and are typically found on the machine’s nameplate and original SPX documentation.

Typical Characteristics

• Type: Self-cleaning disc-stack centrifuge
• Operation: Continuous clarification with automatic solids discharge
• Construction: Hermetic (sealed) product handling
• Applications: Beer clarification, yeast removal, juice clarification, wine processing, and other low-solids liquid clarification duties.
• Particle separation range: Approximately 0.5–500 microns.

Capacity

A documented SE101HBIV unit configured as a beer clarifier was listed with a process capacity of approximately 240 liters/hour (63 gal/hr). Actual throughput depends heavily on the product, solids loading, and clarification target.

For comparison, general SE101-series clarifiers are used in brewery applications with capacities ranging from a few hectoliters per hour for difficult clarification duties up to roughly 25 hl/h (660 gal/h) for some beer clarification stages.

Hermetic Design Benefits

The “H” hermetic execution is intended to:

• Reduce oxygen pickup.
• Minimize loss of dissolved CO₂.
• Improve handling of carbonated or oxygen-sensitive beverages.
• Provide gentler product treatment than open-feed designs.
