The horizontal screw centrifuge is an efficient solid-liquid separation device. Its main features and application matters are as follows:

Main features

The horizontal screw centrifuge features a compact structure, continuous operation, stable running, strong adaptability, large production capacity and convenient maintenance. Its working principle is that the drum and the screw rotate at a certain differential speed in the same direction at high speed. Under the action of the centrifugal force field, the material achieves solid-liquid separation. The heavier solid substances deposit on the drum wall to form a sediment layer, which is pushed to the conical end of the drum by the screw and discharged. The lighter liquid phase forms an inner liquid ring and continuously overflows from the overflow port at the large end of the drum. The horizontal screw centrifuge can continuously feed, separate, wash and discharge materials at full speed, greatly improving production efficiency.

Application Matters

1. Wide application range: Horizontal screw centrifuges are widely used in industries such as chemical engineering, environmental protection, food, pharmaceuticals, and mining. In the chemical industry, it is used for the separation, concentration and purification of petroleum and chemical products. In the environmental protection industry, industrial wastewater and municipal sludge are treated to achieve the reduction of waste liquid. In the food industry, it is used to clarify and concentrate fruit juice, dairy products, alcoholic beverages, etc. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used for solid-liquid separation in the extraction of traditional Chinese medicine and the production of antibiotics. In the mining industry, solid-liquid separation is carried out in processes such as tailings processing and mineral processing.

2. Precautions for Operation: Before using the horizontal screw centrifuge, read the manual carefully to ensure that the operator understands the performance of the equipment. Adjust the rotational speed and differential speed according to the nature of the material to avoid equipment damage. Regularly maintain the equipment and replace worn parts in a timely manner. During the operation, pay close attention to the running status of the equipment. If any abnormality is found, stop the machine immediately for inspection. Keep the equipment clean and avoid corrosive media from causing damage to it.

The horizontal screw centrifuge, with its performance and wide range of applications, has become an indispensable separation device in industrial production.
