Two Key Components of a<br />
Conveyor / Scroll – Continuously<br />
transports solids which have<br />
settled upon the inside of the bowl<br />
wall. Solids are conveyed to the<br />
conical section of the bowl and<br />
then discharged through the cake<br />
discharge ports. The conveyor is<br />
independently driven by a self<br />
adjusting hydrostatic transmission.<br />
<strong>Decanter</strong> <strong>Centrifuge</strong><br />
Centrisys Corporation - Sales <strong>Presentation</strong> - 7 -<br />
Bowl – The key component in the<br />
decanter centrifuge which through<br />
its rotation creates “g” forces in<br />
excess of 3000. Separation of the<br />
solids from the liquids occur under<br />
the high centrifugal force. The<br />
solids are discharged at the<br />
conical end of the bowl while the<br />
liquid travels toward the cylindrical<br />
end where it is discharged through<br />
adjustable weirs.
