Decanter Type Centrifuge:
A Screw Conveyor
and Bowl assembly (eccentric) rotates at high speed generating high
centrifugals forces (separating effect ‘G’ values), which accelerate
sedimentation / settling. The solids settle near the bowl wall and are
conveyed to solids discharge by screw rotating at different speed in
bowl.
The screw speed is adjustable and can be changed to achieve specific
output like – clearer liquid and/or drier solids. The advantages of
Decanter Centrifuges are,
1. Easy installation and does not require specific foundation for installation.
2. Low maintenance as the precision built centrifuge gives long trouble free operating life.
3. Gives continuous uninterrupted high throughput giving high outputs.
4. Easily adaptable to variation in feed parameter.
