Dolphin Centrifuge publishes centrifuge comparison guides to help engineers select the right separation technology — covering disc stack vs. decanter, purifier vs. clarifier, self-cleaning vs. manual-clean, and centrifuge vs. alternative separation methods. Based in Warren, Michigan, with over 40 years of centrifuge application engineering experience.
Technical Comparisons & Explainers
Browse our library of 10 expert comparison articles covering the most common centrifuge selection questions. Whether you need to understand RCF vs RPM or choose between a dewatering centrifuge and a disc stack separator, these guides provide the technical clarity you need.
Decanter vs Disc Stack Centrifuge
A detailed comparison of the two main industrial centrifuge types — when to use a decanter vs a disc stack, and the key differences in design, performance, and applications.
Purifier vs Clarifier — What's the Difference?
The critical difference between purifier and clarifier disc centrifuges — two-phase vs three-phase separation, gravity disc selection, and application matching.
RCF vs RPM — Difference & Calculation
Understanding the difference between relative centrifugal force (RCF/G-force) and revolutions per minute (RPM), plus how to calculate and convert between them.
Centrifugal Filter Guide
How centrifugal filters work, types of filtration centrifuges, and how they compare to sedimenting centrifuges for different separation applications.
Dewatering Centrifuge Explained
How dewatering centrifuges work to remove water from sludge and slurries — types, operating principles, and application considerations.
Three Phase Decanter Centrifuge
How three-phase decanter centrifuges simultaneously separate two liquid phases and a solid phase — design, applications, and operating principles.
Smallest Industrial Centrifuges
A guide to the smallest industrial centrifuges available — compact disc stack and decanter models for pilot plants, labs, and low-volume applications.
Tramp Oil Centrifuge
How centrifuges remove tramp oil from machining coolants and wash water — comparison with skimmers, coalescers, and other removal methods.
Can a Centrifuge Separate Salt from Water?
Exploring whether centrifugal separation can remove dissolved salts from water — the physics behind it and what centrifuges can and cannot do.
Ethanol Extraction Centrifuges — Technical Comparison
Comparing centrifuge types for ethanol extraction applications — disc stack vs decanter vs basket centrifuge performance and suitability.
