5-20 m³/h Decanter Centrifuge Product Introduction
The 5–20 m³/h decanter centrifuge is a horizontal solid-liquid separation machine designed for continuous processing of high-concentration suspensions and multi-phase mixtures. It is built with stainless steel wetted parts to ensure corrosion resistance and long service life under industrial conditions. The equipment solves challenges in dewatering, clarification, and separation of fine and high-solid-content materials. It is suitable for chemical processing plants, food production lines, environmental treatment facilities, and resource recovery industries requiring stable, automated, and high-efficiency separation performance.


Working Principle
The machine starts automatically and accelerates to operating speed before feeding begins. Once stable conditions are reached, the suspension enters through the feed pipe into the rotating bowl. Centrifugal force rapidly separates the mixture into solid and liquid phases. Solids with higher density move toward the bowl wall and are transported by the screw conveyor to the discharge end. The liquid phase flows toward the overflow outlet or is discharged by a pump. In three-phase operation, different liquid layers are separated and discharged independently based on density differences.
