Decanter centrifuge
Working principle and structure
Decanter centrifuges separate solid substances from one or two liquid phases in a continuous process. This is achieved by centrifugal force more than 3,000 times greater than the specific gravity force.
The suspension enters the bowl through the feed pipe and the spiral outlet, and under the action of the centrifugal force generated by high-speed rotation, the solid particles with large specific gravity are deposited on the inner wall of the bowl, and the spiral blades that move relative to the bowl continuously scrape off the solid particles deposited on the inner wall of the bowl and push out the slag discharge port. The separated liquid flows out of the bowl through the opening of the weir plate. The relative movement between the spiral and the bowl, i.e. the differential speed, is achieved by means of a differential, which enables a continuous separation process of the centrifuge.
The speed of the auger can be automatically adjusted by a variable frequency drive (VFD) to adapt it to different solids contents.
Pumping stations are available.
The following key factors determine the performance and quality of a decanter centrifuge:
*Centrifugal force required for sedimentation of solid substances.
* Clarification settlement area required for separating solid substances.
* The differential speed required to send the solid material out of the centrifuge.
*The matching accuracy of the bowl and the auger.
*Pitch of the auger.
* Feed area design.
*Design and application of bearing assemblies.
* Angle of the dewatering cone.
*Inner and outer surfaces of the bowl.
*Abrasion resistance of the wear parts.
*The material and processing method used in each part of the structural parts.
*Design and orchestration of centrifuge operation process.
