Decanter Centrifuge Principles - Broadbent Centrifuge Huddersfield

Decanter centrifuges : Principles of operation The fundamental principle of a decanter centrifuge is accelerated sedimentation under gravity. A settling tank with a continuously moving scraper removes the settled solids at one end. The liquid flows over the top of the scraper blades and leaves the tank at the other end. Broadbent decanter centrifuge designs provide : • Capacities up to 200 CuM / hour feed. • Proven heavy duty reliable designs. • Continuous operation with minimum supervision. • Fully sealed or pressure tight options available for use of hazardous chemicals. • Fully wear protected for use on abrasive mineral duties. • Available in a wide range of materials of construction.
