Elgin Separation Apex 14FHD Decanter Centrifuge

The Apex 14FHD™ is Elgin’s most advanced decanter centrifuge to date—blending the raw power of hydraulic drives with the precision of digital control.
Overview
The Apex 14FHD™ is a 14” x 50” stainless steel decanter centrifuge engineered to separate ultra-fine solids from liquid slurries in the most demanding industrial applications.
At the core of the system is our patented electric-over-hydraulic control architecture— delivering discrete digital control of a hydraulic power unit with the responsiveness of a VFD-driven system.
Whether clarifying wastewater, recovering drilling fluids, or reclaiming valuable ultra-fine solids, the Apex 14FHD™ is built to protect your operation while improving separation efficiency.
