The horizontal spiral centrifuge, also known as a horizontal screw centrifuge, is a type of centrifuge that utilizes a rotating screw conveyor mechanism to separate solid particles or liquid-liquid mixtures based on their density. The centrifuge operates by subjecting the mixture to high centrifugal force, causing the denser components to move towards the outer edge of centrifuge while the lighter components stay towards the center.
It consists of a column cone, spiral discharge device, differential system, bearing seat, base, cover, main and auxiliary motors,and electrical system. It is capable of separating materials ranging from 0.002 to 5um. This tricanter centrifuge is commonly used in various industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, food processing, and wastewater treatment.
It offers advantages such as 24 hours continuous operation, high separation efficiency, and the ability to handle large volumes of feed material. Horizontal spiral centrifuges are particularly effective separating fine particles or emulsions with a narrow density difference.
The LWS520 centrifuge allows for adjustable parameters to optimize the separation process. Parameters such as rotation speed, differential speed, and liquid level can be adjusted to suit the specific characteristics of the oil being processed. Fine-tuning these parameters improves the separation efficiency and product quality.
