Source:/ Release date: 2025-11-20
The fully automatic centrifugal separation filter machine, with its advantages of efficient separation, high degree of automation, and low manual intervention, continues to rise in demand in traditional fields such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and environmental protection. At the same time, it rapidly penetrates into emerging fields such as new energy and electronic chemicals. Combined with policy support and localization promotion, the overall application prospects are broad, as follows:
1. Pharmaceutical industry: high demand and continuous upgrading
This field is the largest demand side for equipment, accounting for approximately 42.5% of the overall market share of fully automatic centrifugal separators by 2024. Whether it is the purification of intermediates in chemical pharmaceuticals such as antibiotics and vitamins, or the sterile separation of biopharmaceuticals such as monoclonal antibodies and vaccines, there are strict requirements for the cleanliness, stability, and separation accuracy of equipment. With the continuous improvement of GMP certification standards and the development of precision medicine fields such as gene sequencing and cell therapy, equipment with online cleaning, sterile sealing, and intelligent monitoring functions will be more favored. Moreover, the penetration rate of domestic models in the pharmaceutical industry is steadily increasing, rising from 31% in 2020 to 47% in 2024, indicating a significant potential for substitution in the future.
2. Food and beverage industry: adapting to the demand for scale
The demand for this equipment in this industry accounts for about 23.1%, and its application scenarios run through multiple processing stages. For example, in processes such as starch purification, sugar purification, and juice concentration, the equipment can efficiently complete solid-liquid separation, and its sanitary design can meet the safety standards of food processing; In scenarios such as yeast extraction and food additive refining, it can also solve the separation problem of materials with high viscosity and fine particle size. With the strengthening trend of large-scale production in the food and beverage industry and the increasing demand for food safety and quality from consumers, centrifugal filters with efficient separation and automated control will gradually replace traditional manual operation equipment and further expand their application scope.
3. Environmental water treatment field: becoming a rapidly growing application direction
Driven by policies such as upgrading urban sewage treatment standards and zero discharge of industrial wastewater during the 14th Five Year Plan period, the demand for fully automatic centrifugal separation filters in this field will increase by 11.3% year-on-year in 2024, with an average annual compound growth rate of over 9.5%. The equipment can be used for sludge dewatering of industrial wastewater, impurity separation of printing and dyeing wastewater, and removal of solid pollutants in urban sewage. At the same time, it can also assist in the resource recovery of wastewater, such as extracting usable salts from high salt wastewater. In addition, in emerging environmental protection scenarios such as solid waste treatment and soil remediation, equipment can also be used for the separation and purification of pollutants. In the future, with the deepening of the dual carbon strategy, its application scenarios in the field of environmental protection will be further expanded.
4. New energy sector: emerging growth poles with enormous potential
The rapid development of the new energy industry has opened up new demand markets for equipment. In the production of lithium batteries, high-precision centrifugal separation equipment is required for the purification of positive electrode materials (such as ternary materials and lithium iron phosphate) and the purification of electrolytes. In 2024, lithium battery material companies' procurement of centrifugal filters increased by 23.4% year-on-year; In the photovoltaic industry, the purification of silicon materials requires the separation of small impurities to ensure the photoelectric conversion efficiency of photovoltaic modules, and the equipment separation accuracy is required to be below 0.5 microns; In addition, in the field of new energy such as biodiesel purification, equipment can also play an efficient separation role. With the expansion of production capacity in the new energy industry, the demand for equipment in this field will continue to explode.
5. Chemical industry: promoting dual improvement of production safety and efficiency
In the chemical industry, the production of many raw materials such as ammonium sulfate, gypsum, dyes, resins, etc. involves solid-liquid separation, especially for toxic, flammable, explosive, and high viscosity chemical materials. The closed explosion-proof and automatic unloading functions of the fully automatic centrifugal separation filter can greatly reduce the risk of manual operation. The current chemical industry is undergoing a transformation towards green and intelligent technology, phasing out traditional equipment with high energy consumption and low efficiency. The fully automatic centrifugal separation filter with energy-saving and intelligent monitoring functions will become an important choice for the technological transformation of chemical enterprises, further enhancing its penetration rate in sub sectors such as chemical and specialty chemicals.
6. Overseas markets: Continuous release of export potential
The domestically produced fully automatic centrifugal separation filter machine, with its advantages of high cost-effectiveness, strong customization ability, and fast service response, is constantly increasing in demand in emerging markets such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and South America. In 2024, the annual export value of China's centrifugal filters reached 680 million US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 12.9%, with an average annual growth rate of over 15% for exports to countries such as Vietnam and Indonesia. At present, domestic enterprises have established service centers overseas and strategically cooperated with local enterprises to layout localized services. In the future, with the deepening of industrial project cooperation under relevant initiatives, the export scale of equipment will further expand, and the prospects for overseas applications are broad.
