Under the action of centrifugal force, the denser solid particles press outward on the rotating drum wall, while the denser liquid phase forms a concentric inner layer in the centrifuge. As required, different baffles are used to change the depth of the liquid (so-called sedimentation tank). The sediment formed by solid particles is continuously removed by the screw conveyor, which rotates at a different speed from the drum. As a result, solids gradually "precipitate" out of the pond and enter the conical "liquid pool" upwards.



The centrifugal force compacts the solid and discharges the excess liquid. The dry solids are then discharged from the cylinder. The clarified liquid phase or multi-phase overflow is located at the baffle at the opposite end of the rotary drum. The baffle in the centrifuge shell will guide the separated corresponding phase into the correct flow path and prevent the risk of cross contamination.



The speed of screw conveyor can be adjusted automatically by using variable frequency drive to adapt to the change of solid load.
