Decanter Centrifuge Product Description
The decanter centrifuge for high solids and viscous slurry is a heavy-duty industrial separation machine designed to process materials with high solid content and high viscosity. The equipment adopts horizontal decanter centrifuge technology to provide continuous solid-liquid separation in demanding industrial environments.
The centrifuge consists of a rotating bowl, screw conveyor, drive system, and control unit. During operation, slurry enters the rotating bowl where strong centrifugal force is generated through high-speed rotation. Due to differences in density, heavier solid particles move outward toward the bowl wall while the liquid phase flows toward the center.The screw conveyor rotates at a differential speed relative to the bowl and continuously transports separated solids toward the discharge port. This process ensures stable and efficient removal of solids even in high-viscosity materials.
The decanter centrifuge is widely used in industries that require reliable separation of thick slurry and high-density sludge. It provides stable operation, high separation efficiency, and continuous processing capacity.

Working Principle
The decanter centrifuge operates based on centrifugal sedimentation principles.When viscous slurry enters the rotating bowl, the bowl spins at high speed to generate strong centrifugal force. Under this force, solid particles with higher density move outward toward the bowl wall, forming a solid sediment layer.
The clarified liquid phase moves toward the center of the bowl and exits through the liquid outlet. Meanwhile, the screw conveyor rotates at a slightly different speed from the bowl and pushes the accumulated solids toward the conical end of the bowl where they are discharged from the centrifuge.
This continuous process allows efficient separation of high solid content materials and viscous slurry in industrial production systems.
