Efficient Milk Separator with Disc Centrifuge Technology

Product Description

The disc stack centrifuge is a versatile device, which may be used for separating solid/liquid mixtures in continuous, semi-continuous and batch configurations (see Figures 1.12 and 1.13). All except some batch-operated machines are able to handle toxic, flammable and volatile feeds at throughputs up to 200 m3 h−1. Liquid-liquid mixtures can be separated and with more sophisticated units a three (two liquid and one solid) phase separation is achievable. In all cases, a sufficient density difference must exist between the phases present in the feed.

Work principle

After entering the high-speed rotating drum, the turbid liquid enters the disc stack along the channel and forms three dynamic concentric rings under the strong centrifugal force: a small amount of dense solid particles move outward and accumulate on the peripheral wall, forming an outer layer; A dense heavy phase liquid is thrown towards the lower surface of the disc, sliding downwards out of the disc area, forming an intermediate layer; A light phase liquid with lower density moves towards the center of the drum, forming an inner layer. Three groups are discharged from the drum through their respective channels.
