Product Description

Innovative Manual Centrifuge for Effective Laboratory Oil Separation
A decanter centrifuge is a specialized type of centrifuge renowned for its ability to efficiently separate solids from liquids within complex mixtures.
This innovative device is utilized to precisely and effectively extract solids from liquid components.. Through a seamless, continuous process, the centrifuge employs powerful centrifugal force to achieve the separation of two distinct components. The mixture is carefully introduced into the centrifuge, where the rapid spinning generates an immense centrifugal force, meticulously separating the solids from the liquids.

In scenarios where solid/liquid mixtures have a high solids content, decanter centrifuges stand out as the premier solution. These robust solid-shell scroll centrifuges or decanters maintain continuous operation, unlike chamber filter presses. The potent centrifugal forces enable the precise separation of finely distributed solid particles from the suspension.

Decanters showcase versatility, proving invaluable across a vast array of global industries. They are meticulously tailored to suit specific applications, with uses ranging from sludge dewatering to intricate classification processes, including the sorting of solids.

For optimal performance, solid bowl decanter centrifuges are custom-engineered to meet the unique demands of specific separation processes.

What is a Decanter Centrifuge?

  • A decanter centrifuge serves as a vital tool for separating solids from liquids within a mixture. By employing a continuous process, it utilizes centrifugal force to distinguish the two components effectively.
  • The mixture is introduced into the centrifuge, where the spinning action generates centrifugal force, facilitating the separation of solids from liquids with precision.
  • Post-separation, the solids and liquids are efficiently discharged from the centrifuge through designated outlets, ensuring a seamless process.
  • Decanter centrifuges find applications across diverse industries, including the chemical, pharmaceutical, food processing, and environmental engineering sectors.
  • They excel in separating solids that are either too fine or dense to be effectively managed by alternative methods, such as sedimentation or filtration.
  • These centrifuges are also pivotal in dewatering sludge and separating emulsions, known for their high efficiency, minimal maintenance, and capacity to handle substantial material volumes.
  • Recognized for their exceptional efficiency, low maintenance requirements, and ability to manage large volumes, decanter centrifuges are indispensable in myriad applications.
  • Working Principle of Decanter Centrifuges

    A decanter centrifuge operates on the fundamental principle of separation via buoyancy. Components with higher density naturally settle at the bottom, while those with lower density float. Continuous spinning accelerates this process, generating g-forces of 1000 to 4000 G's, drastically reducing settling times. Thus, mixtures that previously required hours to settle can now be resolved in mere seconds using a decanter centrifuge, delivering swift and manageable outcomes.

    Conceptually, a decanter is equivalent to a sedimentation tank wrapped around an axis. Heavier solid particles gravitate to the bottom, forming a dense sediment phase, akin to a wine decanter. Within the centrifuge, centrifugal acceleration separates solid and liquid phases, as denser solids migrate outward against the rotating bowl's wall, forming sediment with increased efficiency due to powerful centrifugal forces of approximately 3000 g, compared to just 1 g in a gravitational field.
