Industrial Decanter Centrifuge

Alfa Laval decanter centrifuges provide high-performance solid-liquid separation in one continuous process, separating solids from one or two liquid phases.

High-performance separation

Horizontal centrifuges separate solids from one or two liquid phases in a single, continuous, high-speed process, enhancing productivity and profitability.
High-performance separation produces extracted or clarified products of excellent quality and higher commercial value, while recovering valuable raw materials.
Handle wide-ranging feed variations, with controllable centrifugal forces and configuration details for process optimisation to specific requirements and goals.
Applications include water, food and energy processing.

Specification	Value
Centrifugal force effect	up to 4,000 times greater compared to using gravitational forces
solid particles with diameters	from 5 mm to a few microns
solid content	from as low as 0.1% w/w to more than 65% w/w

Rotation speed adjustment controls solid-liquid separation. Denser solids migrate towards the rotating bowl wall, while the less dense liquid forms a concentric inner layer.
Interchangeable power recovering tubes or plates adjust liquid depth, or “pond level”, to suit process requirements.
A screw conveyor rotating at a different speed from the bowl continuously transports solids out of the pond and along the conical “beach” for discharge.
Centrifugal forces compact solids and expel surplus liquid, producing a dewatered cake.
Clarified liquid, or multiple liquid phases during three-phase separation, overflows dam plates or PowerTubes at the opposite end of the bowl.
Internal casing baffles direct each phase into its designated flow path for collection, eliminating cross-contamination risk.
Conveyor speed may be automatically adjusted using a variable frequency drive (VFD) and torque control system that continuously monitors conveyor torque. Increased solids loading triggers differential-speed adjustment to prevent torque overload, maintain stable operation and consistent solids dryness. Lighter loads reduce speed to minimise wear and energy consumption.

All process-contact parts use high-grade stainless steel to avoid corrosion associated with carbon steel.
High-stress rotating components are machined from high-strength centrifugally cast stainless steel, providing a uniform grain structure, freedom from flaws and defects, and weld-free finished components for maximum strength, reliability and long service life.
Abrasion-resistant materials protect the feed zone, solids discharge output zone, bowl and scroll, selected for each process’s wear pattern.
Seal technology is continually refined.

Low energy consumption and carbon footprints.
Low waste management costs.
Low maintenance costs through continuous operation, high-grade machine materials, smart design and preventive services.
Low capital cost/capacity ratio.
