What is Horizontal Decanter Centrifuge?

Horizontal decanter centrifuge is the mechanical equipment for continuous separation of suspension containing density difference by centrifugal setting principle.

JX Filtration Horizontal Decanter Centrifuge can clarify, dehydrate, or separate suspensions containing solid particles of 0.002-3mm in diameter and 0.5-40% in concentration range. According to material features, it can be divided into LW two-phase horizontal decanter centrifuge and LWS three-phase horizontal decanter centrifuge. 

Horizontal Decanter Centrifuge is mainly composed of a conical drum, screw pusher, differential system, bearing base, frame, housing, main and auxiliary motor and electrical system. The main motor drive the drum and the second motor drives the planetary gear differential, which generates the drum and spiral differential. Under the strong centrifugal force produced by the high-speed rotation, the centrifuge can be separated continuously.

The drum and the screw pusher rotate at a certain differential speed and high speed. The material continuously enters the feeding tube's spiral feeding chamber and then accelerates and enters the drum. Under the centrifugal force field, the heavier solid phase deposits on the drum wall to form the sediment layer.

The solid deposits are continuously pushed to the drum's cone end by the screw pusher and discharged from the slag discharge outlet after drying in the drying zone. The lighter liquid phase forms an inner liquid ring, which continuously overflows the drum from the overflow outlet at the drum's large end and discharges out of the machine through the outlet.
