bowl centrifuge suppliers

The Decanter / Solid Bowl Centrifuge operates on the principle of sedimentation. Often the solids are too fine to be dewatered satisfactorily in the filtering centrifuges. They can be separated in solid bowl centrifuges provided their sedimentation speed in the mother liquid is sufficient. The sinking settling speed which is determined by Particle size, Particle shape, difference in density between solids and liquids as well as their viscosity.

The system is continuous, compact and enclosed while offering versatility, high performance, and low maintenance.

Operation

Separation takes place in Horizontal conico / cylindrical bowl with screw conveyor.

The slurry is feed into the bowl through a stationery inlet tube and accelerated by specially design inlet distributor.

Centrifugal force leads to instant sedimentation of the solids on the wall of bowl.

The conveyor, rotating in the same direction as bowl with differential speed, conveys the solids to conical end. The solids are lifted clear of the liquid and centrifugally dewatered before being discharged into the collecting channel.

The clarified liquid flows into the housing through opening in cylindrical end of the bowl.
