Used Sedimentation Equipment, Flottweg Solid-Liquid Separation Centrifuge

About Centrifuge Overview

 

The horizontal screw centrifuge is an efficient and continuously operated solid-liquid separation equipment. It uses the principle of centrifugal sedimentation to effectively separate solid particles from liquids through the strong centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotating drum. This equipment is widely used in many industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, environmental protection, and food, and has become an important tool for solid-liquid separation.

 

Working Principle

 

The working principle of the horizontal screw centrifuge is based on the synergistic effect of centrifugal sedimentation and screw conveying. Under the action of centrifugal force, solid particles are deposited on the wall of the drum to form a sediment layer, while the liquid phase forms an inner liquid ring. The screw conveyor rotates in the same direction as the drum at a certain differential speed, continuously pushing the sediment layer to the conical end of the drum and discharging it through the slag discharge port; at the same time, the liquid phase is continuously discharged from the overflow port at the large end of the drum to achieve solid-liquid separation.

 

Centrifuge Technical Features

 

• Efficient separation: It adopts high-speed centrifugal separation technology with high separation efficiency, and can effectively process suspensions containing solid matter with a particle size greater than 0.005mm and a concentration range of 2-40%.
• Continuous operation: The equipment can continuously feed, separate, wash and unload at full speed, with large production capacity and strong adaptability.
• Compact structure: small footprint, easy to install and maintain, and space-saving.
• High degree of automation: Modern decanter centrifuges mostly use automated programming control, reducing manual operation and human errors.
• Smooth operation: The equipment runs smoothly with low noise, meeting environmental protection and energy-saving requirements.
• Easy maintenance: fewer parts, low maintenance cost and long service life.

 

Environmental Advantages

 

• Energy saving and emission reduction: The horizontal screw centrifuge has low energy consumption and low noise, which meets the requirements of environmental protection and energy saving.
• Resource recovery: Through efficient separation, the reduction, resource utilization and harmless treatment of solid waste can be achieved.
• Improve the environment: Reduce the discharge of sewage and sludge, improve water quality, and improve the ecological environment.

 

Application Areas

 

Horizontal screw centrifuge plays an important role in many fields, including:

• Chemical industry: used to separate suspensions in chemical reactions, recover catalysts, etc.
• Pharmaceutical industry: used to purify biological drugs, separate solid particles in liquid medicines, etc.
• Environmental protection: widely used in environmental protection fields such as sewage treatment and sludge dehydration to improve water quality and reduce sludge volume.
• Food: used for juice clarification, wine purification, dairy product dehydration, etc. to improve food quality.
