industrial decanter centrifuge for solidliquid separation
The industrial decanter centrifuge for solid-liquid separation represents a sophisticated solution for efficient material processing across various industries. This advanced equipment operates through continuous centrifugal force, effectively separating mixtures into their solid and liquid components. The machine consists of a horizontal bowl rotating at high speeds, containing a screw conveyor that rotates at a slightly different speed to transport separated solids. The process begins as the mixture enters through a central feed pipe, where centrifugal forces of up to 3,000 G or more cause the denser solid particles to settle against the bowl wall. Meanwhile, the lighter liquid phase forms an inner layer and flows toward one end of the bowl. The separated liquid exits through ports, while the screw conveyor continuously removes the dewatered solids. Advanced models feature automated controls for optimal performance, adjustable differential speeds, and variable pool depth settings. These centrifuges are designed to handle high throughput volumes and can process materials with varying particle sizes and concentrations. The technology finds extensive applications in wastewater treatment, food processing, chemical manufacturing, mining, and pharmaceutical industries.
