Disc Nozzle Centrifuge (Disc Stack Separator)
A disc nozzle centrifuge is a high-efficiency separation machine designed for the continuous processing of liquid-solid and liquid-liquid mixtures. It is widely used across industries for its ability to deliver precise, large-capacity separation with minimal downtime. Below is an overview of its key features, operational process, applications, and advantages.
Features
Advanced Design:
Features a rapidly rotating bowl containing a series of conical discs. This stacked disc design significantly increases the effective settling area, enhancing separation efficiency.
Includes a specialized nozzle system that enables continuous discharge of separated solids and liquids.
Continuous Operation:
Allows uninterrupted feeding and discharge, making it ideal for high-volume industrial processes.
Exceptional Versatility:
Capable of handling a wide range of separation duties, including solid-liquid separation, liquid-liquid partitioning, and three-phase (liquid-liquid-solid) separation.
Operation
Feeding:
The mixture is introduced continuously into the centrifuge through a central feed inlet.
Centrifugation:
As the bowl rotates at high speed, powerful centrifugal forces cause denser solids or heavy liquid phases to migrate outward toward the bowl periphery. Lighter phases remain inward.
Separation & Discharge:
Separated solids are continuously ejected through strategically designed nozzles.
Clarified liquid phases are efficiently removed via separate outlets, ensuring high purity and minimal product loss.
Applications
Chemical and pharmaceutical processing
Food and beverage industry (e.g., edible oil refining, juice clarification)
Wastewater treatment and sludge dewatering
Marine fuel and lube oil purification
Biofuels and bioprocessing
Advantages
High separation accuracy and efficiency
Continuous operation reduces downtime and improves productivity
Suitable for high-solid-content feeds
Low operational cost and easy integration into automated systems
