Disc Nozzle Centrifuge Machine (Disc Centrifuge Separator)

Disc Nozzle Centrifuge Machine (Disc Centrifuge Separator)

Disc nozzle centrifuges are specialized devices used for continuous separation of liquids and solids or for separating two immiscible liquids. They are widely utilized in various industries due to their efficiency and effectiveness. Here’s an overview of their features, operation, applications, and advantages.

Features

1. Design:

   • Comprises a rotating bowl with a series of stacked discs, which provide a large surface area for separation.
   • Equipped with a nozzle system that allows for continuous discharge of the separated phases.

2. Continuous Operation:

   • Designed for continuous feed and separation, making them suitable for high-throughput applications.

3. Versatility:

   • Can handle different types of mixtures, including solid-liquid, liquid-liquid, and liquid-liquid-solid separations.

Operation

1. Feeding:

   • Mixture is continuously fed into the centrifuge through a feed inlet.

2. Centrifugation:

   • As the bowl rotates, centrifugal forces act on the mixture, causing denser materials (solids or heavier liquids) to move outward, while lighter materials remain closer to the center.

3. Separation:

   • The separated phases are continuously discharged through nozzles:
     • Solids are often expelled through a separate outlet or nozzle.
     • Liquid phases are drawn off through different nozzles, minimizing product loss.
