Product Description

Durable Manual Centrifuge for Chemical Processing and Olive Oil Extraction
A decanter centrifuge is a marvel of engineering, designed specifically to proficiently separate solids from liquids within a mixture.
This highly efficient device is utilized to effectively segregate solids from liquids in various mixtures, ensuring clarity and purity. It operates as a continuous process, harnessing the immense power of centrifugal force to deftly divide the two components. The mixture is meticulously fed into the centrifuge, where the solids are expertly separated from the liquids by the centrifugal force generated through the rapid spinning of the centrifuge.

For separating solid/liquid mixes with substantial solids content, decanter centrifuges are absolutely indispensable. These solid-shell scroll centrifuges or decanters, unlike standard chamber filter presses, function seamlessly in a continuous mode. They utilize potent centrifugal forces to effectively isolate finely distributed solid particles from the suspension.

Decanters stand as vital tools across a plethora of industries globally. Each centrifuge is meticulously tailored for its specific application, ranging from sludge dewatering, classification, or wet classification, to the precise sorting of solids.

To achieve the pinnacle of performance, solid bowl decanter centrifuges are custom-engineered to meticulously meet the demands of specific separation processes.

What is a Decanter Centrifuge?

  • A decanter centrifuge is an advanced type of centrifuge employed to meticulously separate solids from liquids within a mixture. It is a continuous, efficient process that leverages centrifugal force for this separation.
  • Within the centrifuge, the mixture is introduced, and centrifugal force is expertly utilized to divide the solids from the liquids, facilitated by the centrifuge's rapid spinning motion.
  • Post-separation, the distinct solids and liquids are discharged through dedicated outlets, ensuring seamless processing.
  • Decanter centrifuges find their application in an extensive array of industries, such as chemical, pharmaceutical, food processing, and environmental engineering.
  • They are indispensable for separating fine or dense solids that elude effective separation through other methods like sedimentation or filtration.
  • These centrifuges are also utilized for the critical task of dewatering sludge and separating emulsions.
  • Renowned for their exceptional efficiency, minimal maintenance requirements, and capacity to manage substantial material volumes, they are a staple in industrial processing.
  • Working Principle of Decanter Centrifuges

    Decanter centrifuges operate on the principle of buoyancy separation. Dense components naturally gravitate to the bottom, while less dense components float. Continuous spinning accelerates settling velocity, generating a g-force of 1000 to 4000 G's, significantly reducing settling time to mere seconds. This method delivers rapid and easily managed separation.

    A decanter resembles a sedimentation tank encircling an axis, with solid particles more dense than the liquid gravitating downward, forming a sediment at the base. In a centrifuge, solid particles, being denser, migrate outward due to centrifugal acceleration, forming sediment against the inner wall of the revolving bowl. This method achieves far quicker and more efficient separation than gravitational methods.

Is a decanter a centrifuge?

Certainly, a decanter is a distinct type of centrifuge. Centrifuges operate through the application of centrifugal force to separate either solids from liquids or components of a mixture based on density. A decanter centrifuge, in particular, is a specialized variant designed explicitly for the continuous separation of solids from liquids.
Decanter centrifuges are distinguished by their capability for continuous operation, featuring a scroll—a helical screw moving at a marginally slower rate than the bowl—to propel solids to the bowl's outer perimeter. Equipped with a solids discharge port on the outer wall, their versatility spans industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, food processing, environmental engineering, oil and gas, mining, power generation, and pulp and paper.

Why is it called a decanter?

The term "decanter" is traditionally associated with a vessel featuring a broad base and slender neck, commonly employed for wine storage and presentation. However, when we delve into the realm of decanter centrifuges, "decanter" takes on a new meaning, encapsulating the elegant contour of the centrifuge bowl. This bowl, akin in shape to a classic wine decanter, boasts a cylindrical form with a spacious base tapering into a delicate neck, all while rotating gracefully on a horizontal axis.
When considering decanter centrifuges, the term "decanter" may have its roots in the device's application of separating liquids of varying densities, reminiscent of sorting wine from sediment. Thus, the centrifuge bowl's resemblance to a wine decanter becomes evident, as it efficiently separates the pristine liquid from denser sediments, much like the clarity of wine being distinguished from the sediment, or lees, that rests at the decanter's base.
