A centrifugal decanter is a device that employs centrifugal force to separate either liquids and solids or different liquids.
The operational principle is straightforward yet effective. The device is filled with a mixture of liquids and solids or different liquids, and as the centrifuge rotates, materials with higher densities settle at the bottom, while lighter liquids rise to the top and are discharged.
Centrifugal decanters find applications across various fields, including manufacturing for raw material or product separation, environmental applications like wastewater treatment and industrial waste management, and medical applications for separating blood components or cells. Their structure typically includes a rotating component and discharge ports, enabling efficient separation in a short period and complete separation of materials with higher densities. Proper adjustment of the centrifuge's speed and time, along with the correct usage of safety features, is essential for its operation. One of its notable advantages is its ability to achieve rapid separation.
