The centrifuge separate solids from liquids plays a key role in countless industrial processes. - details see: https://www.machineto.com/lw-high-performance-decanter-centrifuges-10303105

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

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

It consists of a solid cylindirical bowl rotating at high speed, a scroll rotating at the same axis with

a slightly different speed, a drive group adjusting the speed difference and the body which carries

all the rotating elements.

Liquid and suspended solids are fed along the centre line to a distribution room within the bowl and then

accelerated into the bowl by centrifugal force through the feeding point. This centrifugal force then causes

the suspended solids to settle and accumulate at the bowl wall.

Sludge cake is discharged by scroll from the conical part meanwhile clarified liquid flows back along the

bowl and is discharged through the cylindirical end of the bowl by plates which can adjust the

level of clarified liquid.
