We are your trusted decanter centrifuge manufacturer, providing high-quality centrifugal separation equipment and services. Contact us for more information about our centrifuges.

Our decanter centrifuge is a horizontal solid-liquid separation device that removes solids from liquid mixtures by applying centrifugal force. It’s a preferred equipment for treating slurries, sludges, and other high solids content feeds.

Decanter Centrifuge Uses?

Solid-Liquid Separation: Ideal for processing sludge, wastewater, oil & water mixtures in chemical, mining, food & beverage industries.

Continuous Operation & High Throughput: Horizontal screw conveyor designs enable continuous feeding and discharge, reducing downtime.

Efficiency & Energy Saving: Modern decanter centrifuges deliver high cake dryness and low power consumption through optimized L/D ratio, scroll speed, and bowl diameter.

Horizontal vs Vertical

Horizontal: Most decanter centrifuges are horizontal, efficient for solid loading and throughput.

Vertical / Vertical scroll: Less common; used in niche applications or where footprint constraints exist.

Applications & Use Cases

Waste Water Treatment: Municipal sludge dewatering, industrial wastewater solid removal.

Oil & Gas / Oil Sludge / Marine: Oil-water-solids three-phase separation, oil recovery, bilge water treatment.

Food Processing & Edible Oils: Clarifying oils, separating solid particles in juice, preserving food safety.

Mining & Mineral Processing: Tailings, slurry separation, resource recovery.

Chemical & Pharma: Separation of catalysts, chemical slurries, process liquids, with sanitary / compliance requirements.

Prices for small, two-phase decanter centrifuges can range from $10,000 to $30,000, depending on flow rate, material, and features. Industrial/large-capacity or three-phase models can cost over $100,000. Further details will require specific centrifuge materials and specifications tailored to your specific needs.

FAQs

Q1: What is the difference between a two-phase and three-phase decanter centrifuge?

A: Two-phase separates solids + one liquid; three-phase separates solids + two liquid phases (e.g., oil + water + solids). Three-phase has more complex design and usually higher cost.

Q2: How to select the correct bowl diameter & L/D ratio?

A: Depends on desired capacity, solids content, required cake dryness. Higher L/D gives longer residence, better dewatering, but increases size and cost.

Q3: Are there decanter centrifuges suitable for food / edible oil / pharma?

A: Yes — with food-grade stainless steel, sanitary design, certification, polished surfaces. Supplier should provide relevant certifications.

Q4: What warranty & spare parts should be expected?

A: Key parts (scroll, wear liners, bearings, seals) should have spare availability. Warranty on mechanical structure and drive system is typical.
