LW decanter centrifuge

centrifuge,decanter centrifuge:

The decanter 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 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.


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.

This 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,

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. As a result, the solids are gradually
