Centrifugal equipment Processing machine

Description

When solid/liquid mixtures with a high portion of solids need to be separated, decanter centrifuges are the solution of choice. In contrast to chamber filter presses, these solid shell scroll centrifuges or decanters operate continuously. High centrifugal forces separate the finely distributed solid particles from the suspension.

Flottweg Decanter Centrifuges for Best Separation Results

The efficiency of the overall process often lives or dies based on the performance of the centrifuge. Every Flottweg decanter centrifuge incorporates our experience from more than 60 years of centrifuge design and over 1,000 applications served. The basic functional principle of our decanters has been the same for a long time. The centrifugal acceleration separates the solid phase and one or two liquids from each another.

Because the sediment (solid phase) has a higher density, it collects on the wall of the bowl. The transport scroll moves the solid continuously to the outlet openings. The liquid phase(s) flows along the scroll.
