In today’s rapidly developing industry, enterprises are facing multiple challenges such as increasing environmental pressure, rising production costs, and low resource utilization efficiency. Especially in the solid-liquid separation process, traditional equipment such as filter pressing and sedimentation can no longer meet the high standards of modern industry for processing efficiency, automation and continuous operation capabilities. As the current mainstream solid-liquid separation equipment, the horizontal screw centrifuge (also known as the horizontal screw unloading sedimentation centrifuge) is being widely adopted by more and more industrial enterprises for its stable performance, energy-saving operation mode, intelligent control system and good economy.
Equipment performance: from stability, to efficiency
1. Durable design concept
The core components of the horizontal screw centrifuge, such as the drum, screw pusher, bearings, etc., are made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials. Many high-end models use duplex stainless steel, Hastelloy, ceramic spraying and other processes to greatly extend the service life of the equipment, and maintain good performance after more than 10 years of operation.
2. Fully automatic continuous operation
Unlike intermittent equipment such as plate and frame filter presses and vacuum filters, the horizontal screw centrifuge can achieve 24-hour continuous operation, reduce the frequency of downtime, and reduce the impact of human intervention on operating efficiency.
3. Stable dehydration performance
No matter how the concentration, viscosity or load of the wastewater changes, the horizontal screw centrifuge can achieve adaptive adjustment through automatic speed regulation and differential speed control, and always maintain excellent solid-liquid separation effect. The water content is stable, the effluent is clear, and it meets the emission standards.
Economic value
1. Improve resource recovery rate
In some industries (such as food, pharmaceuticals, and aquaculture), wastewater contains a large amount of useful substances, such as protein, starch, and oil. The solid part can be effectively recovered by the decanter centrifuge, which can be used for feed, organic fertilizer, secondary processing raw materials, etc., forming a new profit growth point for the enterprise.
2. Reduce the frequency of equipment maintenance and replacement
High-quality decanter centrifuges have a long maintenance cycle, strong versatility of accessories, and maintenance costs are much lower than filter press equipment. The maintenance cost within 5 years is less than half of that of traditional equipment, and the cost of use throughout the life cycle is extremely advantageous.
Typical case analysis
Wastewater treatment project of a dairy factory
Problem: The wastewater contains a large amount of milk fat and protein, and the flocculation effect is poor;
Upgrade plan: Use high-speed horizontal screw centrifuge + low-temperature drying system;
Economic benefits:
The reuse of separated milk fat generates an annual income of 500,000 yuan;
The effluent water quality is stable and meets the reuse standard, saving 10,000 tons of water each year.
The decanter centrifuge is not only an industrial equipment, but also a key tool to promote enterprises to achieve high efficiency, low cost, green environmental protection and intelligent operation. In the future, with increasingly strict environmental supervision, increasingly scarce energy resources and continuous upgrading of industrial intelligence, the long-term value created by the decanter centrifuge will become more and more significant.
Choosing a high-performance decanter centrifuge is not only a solution to current problems, but also a layout of the company’s strategy for the next ten years. We firmly believe that the decanter centrifuge will play an increasingly important role in helping industrial enterprises move towards high-quality development.If you want to learn more about the application solutions, selection recommendations or cost recovery analysis of the decanter centrifuge, please feel free to contact us.
