Sophia is a test and demonstration centrifuge rig suitable for 30-60m3/hr.

The rig gives customers the opportunity to conduct process performance trials on their materials at their site and confirm the operating costs, performance and potential savings during a “try before you buy” experience.

Sophia is a 45-foot trailer-mounted unit measuring 14 x 2.55 x 3.5m which houses a DP574 11012FD Hiller Decapress centrifuge. It also includes all necessary ancillary equipment, including:

  • An in-line macerator
  • Feed pump
  • P&P Polymix7000 polymer make up and dosing system
  • E+H Promag flowmeters
  • Pipework
  • Chutes
  • Conveyor system
  • Electrical control panel
  • Stand

The panel on Sophia also houses the SEE Pro Hiller controller centre which is the first in the UK and offers faster processing speeds, a more user-friendly HMI interface and increased communication capabilities.

Sophia is equipped with and connected to the MSE Hiller remote access and centrifuge monitoring system, allowing it to feedback operational performance and machine maintenance requirements to the MSE Hiller HQ at Markham Vale in Chesterfield, Derbyshire.
