1000-2000 L/h Disc Centrifuge for Dairy Liquid Separation

Disc Centrifuge Product Introduction

Disc centrifuge is a high-speed separation equipment designed for processing solid-liquid and liquid-liquid mixtures in continuous or semi-continuous operations. With capacities up to 200 cubic meters per hour and typically constructed from stainless steel, it is suitable for hygienic and industrial environments. The equipment effectively separates phases with density differences, enabling clarification, concentration, and multi-phase separation. It is widely used in dairy, chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries, providing a practical solution for processes requiring efficient phase separation, stable throughput, and compatibility with automated production systems.

Working Principle

The feed enters a high-speed rotating drum and is distributed into the disc stack. Under strong centrifugal force, phases separate according to density differences. Solid particles move outward and accumulate on the bowl wall, forming the outer layer. The heavier liquid phase moves toward the lower disc surfaces and exits as an intermediate layer, while the lighter liquid phase moves inward and is discharged from the center. Each phase is continuously separated and discharged through dedicated outlets.
