Continuous Disc Stack Centrifuge with Conical Disc Bowl
Continuous disc stack centrifuges and conical disc bowl centrifuges are high-performance separation systems designed for efficient liquid-liquid and solid-liquid separation across a range of industries. Below is a detailed introduction to their working principles, structural design, and industrial applications.
Continuous Disc Stack Centrifuge
Working Principle:
Utilizes centrifugal force generated by high-speed rotation to separate mixtures based on density differences. The process operates continuously, enabling high-volume processing without interruption.
Design Features:
Equipped with a series of vertically stacked conical discs inside the rotating bowl. This design significantly increases the effective settling area and enhances separation efficiency. The system includes dedicated inlets and outlets for continuous feeding and discharge of separated phases.
Operation:
The feed mixture enters the rotating bowl, where centrifugal force causes denser solids or heavy liquid phases to move outward onto the disc surfaces. Lighter phases migrate inward. The separated components are discharged continuously through individualized outlets.
Applications:
Food Industry: Separation of edible oils, clarification of beverages
Pharmaceutical Industry: Cell harvesting, clarification of bio-based products
Chemical Processing: Purification of chemicals, recovery of catalysts
Wastewater Treatment: Sludge dewatering and oil-water separation
Advantages:
High separation accuracy and efficiency
Continuous operation improves productivity
Compact structure, saving space and simplifying installation
Suitable for sterile and sanitary processes due to closed design
