Decanter Centrifuge

1.Continuous centrifuge
2.Supper centrifuge
3.High efficient centrifuge.
4.Centrifuge with CE,ISO

The Decanter Centrifuge is a specially developed continuous Solid-Bowl horizontal Scroll Discharge

centrifuge for effective separation of slurries into liquid-solid phases,liquid- liquid-solid phases,

with the application of centrifugal sedimentation principle.

A decanter centrifuge separates solids from one or two liquid phases in one single continuous process.

The Decanter Centrifuge is done using centrifugal forces that can be well beyond 3000 times greater than gravity.

When subject to such forces, the denser solid particles are pressed outwards against the rotating bowl wall of the centrifuge, while the less dense liquid phaseforms a concentric inner layer. Different dam

plates are used to vary the depth of the liquid – the so-called pond – as required.The sediment

formed by the solid particles is continuously removed by the screw conveyor, which rotates at a

different speed than the bowl of the centrifuge. As a result, the solids are gradually "ploughed"

out of the pond and up the conical “beach”.

The centrifugal force compacts the solids and expels the surplus liquid. The dried solids then discharge

from the bowl. The clarified liquid phase or phases overflow the dam plates situated at the opposite

end of the bowl. Baffles within the centrifuge casing direct the separated phases into the correct flow

path and prevent any risk of cross-contamination.The speed of the screw conveyor may be

automatically adjusted by use of the variable frequency drive in order to adjust to variation in the solids load.

Centrifuge for Liquid-solid phases

The Centrifuge is for continuous separation of solids from liquids Such as thickening and dewatering

sludge,suspensions with granular solids,clarification of liquids, classification of fine pigments,etc.Stock liquid is

brought into the bowl of the centrifuge through a centripetal pump. Solid matter settles into

outer larger by the centrifugal force.The settled sediment is pushed into the drying area at the cone of

the bowl by rotary difference between spiral and bowl and discharged from the outlet.The clarified liquid flows out

from the liquid outlet centripetal pump.

Centrifuge for Liquid-Liquid-solid phases

The Centrifuge is for continuous separation of 3-phases systems consisting of two immiscible

liquids and solids.

Stock liquid is brought into the bowl of the centrifuge through a centripetal pump.solid matter

settles into outer larger by the centrifugal force.The settled sediment is pushed into the drying area at the

cone of the bowl by rotary difference between spiral and bow land discharged from the outlet.Because of the

different gravity of emulsion of liquid phases in the bowl,the light liquid and the heavy liquid are separated by

the baffle at the cylinder end of the bowl,light liquid flows out from the light liquid outlet through the centripetal

pump and heavy liquid flows out from the heavy liquid outlet.
