Economic benefits: a powerful tool for cost control and return on investment
1. Reduce labor costs
Traditional solid-liquid separation equipment such as plate and frame filter presses and belt filter presses often require frequent manual intervention, such as cloth replacement, filter cloth cleaning, and filter plate switching. The decanter centrifuge uses a fully automatic control system to achieve 24-hour unattended operation, greatly reducing the input of operators:
Automated operation reduces manpower requirements by more than 70%;
Fault self-checking and remote early warning functions reduce operation and maintenance intensity;
Save training and labor turnover costs.
2. Energy saving and consumption reduction, both electricity and water consumption are reduced
Modern decanter centrifuges use frequency conversion control, high-efficiency motors, intelligent differentials and other technical means to significantly improve energy consumption levels compared to traditional equipment:
Energy consumption per unit of processing capacity is reduced by about 15% to 30%;
Combined with a flocculant system, the dosage can be reduced, reducing chemical costs;
The integrated closed design reduces flushing water consumption.
3. Save transportation and disposal costs
The sludge, oil residue and ore pulp dehydrated by the decanter centrifuge have low moisture content, and the material reduction is significant, which effectively reduces the subsequent transportation and disposal costs:
The moisture content can be reduced to below 60-70% after dehydration;
Some industries (such as papermaking and sugar making) can realize the recycling and reuse of by-products;
Reducing the volume and weight of the residue helps to reduce the transportation frequency and cost.
Production benefits: improve production line efficiency and production capacity
1. Continuous and stable operation, improve capacity utilization
The horizontal screw centrifuge adopts dual motor drive + differential control system, which can achieve continuous, stable and high-speed separation operation:
Uninterrupted operation supports large-scale production rhythm;
Start-up and use, fast shutdown, no long preparation;
Real-time speed adjustment and differential adjustment function adapts to different material changes.
2. Improve product quality
In the dairy, juice, alcohol, oil and other industries, the purity and clarity of the product directly affect the product grade and sales price. The efficient separation capacity of the horizontal screw centrifuge can effectively remove impurities and improve product quality:
Juice: more thorough removal of residues, clearer juice;
Food: reduce impurity residues and improve hygiene standards;
Chemical: separation residual liquid is purer, which is conducive to product post-processing.
Environmental benefits: Helping enterprises achieve green and compliant production
1. Comply with environmental emission standards
National and local requirements for sewage sludge discharge are becoming increasingly stringent, especially for high-pollution industries (such as electroplating, printing and dyeing, and petrochemicals). The excellent performance of the decanter centrifuge in the pretreatment and reduction of wastewater and sludge makes it easier for enterprises to pass environmental protection acceptance:
High effluent clarity and low suspended solids content;
High sludge dryness after dehydration, which is convenient for harmless treatment or resource recycling;
Supports matching polymer flocculant system to achieve deep dehydration.
2. Reduce environmental pollution risks
The closed design avoids secondary pollution, leakage and odor diffusion, and is particularly suitable for environmentally sensitive industries and regions, such as urban sewage treatment plants, food processing plants, and pharmaceutical production workshops.
3. Support carbon emission reduction and environmental certification
Through energy optimization design, reduce carbon emission load, and provide data support for enterprises to apply for green factories, energy-saving certification, ESG assessment, etc.
Customer application case analysis
Case 1: A municipal sewage treatment plant
Problem: Traditional belt filter press has limited processing capacity, high water content, and frequent manual intervention.
Solution: Replace with two horizontal screw centrifuges.
Effect: Processing capacity increased by 40%, mud water content reduced to 72%, annual labor and transportation costs saved more than one million yuan.
Case 2: A dairy group
Problem: Incomplete whey clarification affects product taste, and traditional equipment is inefficient.
Solution: Introduce food-grade stainless steel horizontal screw centrifuges and automatic cleaning systems.
Effect: Whey is clear and transparent, product grade is improved by one level, and export qualification rate is increased from 92% to 99%.
In the production and environmental protection process of enterprises, although the decanter centrifuge is not the most expensive equipment, it is one of the key equipment that brings the most obvious comprehensive benefits. It provides not only efficient and stable separation capabilities, but also a “strategic equipment” that directly affects the cost control, production quality, environmental compliance and brand development of enterprises. In the future, with the deepening of the “dual carbon goals” and green transformation, the decanter centrifuge will play a greater role in more fields and become the backbone of industrial intelligence, cleanliness and sustainable development.
If your company is looking for a separation solution that can improve efficiency and save energy and protect the environment, the decanter centrifuge may be your most trustworthy choice!
