Product Description

Disc type centrifuge harness centrifugal force to separate components within a liquid suspension. When powered on, the motor drives the high-speed rotation of the drum assembly. This rapid spin generates powerful centrifugal forces, causing particles in the centrifuge tube to separate based on their density. Heavier components migrate outward and settle at the bottom of the tube, while lighter substances rise towards the top.

Core Components

Disc type centrifuge is usually composed of the following parts:

Drum: The central rotating assembly featuring a stack of closely spaced, overlapping discs.

Motor: Provides the power to drive the drum's high-speed rotation.

Control System: Manages critical operating parameters like speed and duration.

Inlet & Outlet Devices: Channels for feeding material into the centrifuge and discharging separated fractions.

Hydraulic System: Requires a stable water supply, typically operating at pressures exceeding 0.35 MPa.

Automated Controls: Integrates solenoid valves, a PLC controller, and a user interface (display/control box) for precise operation.

Application

Disc type centrifuge is widely used in the following areas:

Oil & Fuel: Purifying fuel oils, lubricants, and degumming/refining vegetable oils (e.g., palm oil).

Food & Beverage: Clarifying milk (degreasing), fruit juices, beer, and beverages; concentrating starch slurries; extracting vegetable protein.

Pharmaceutical & Chemical: Purifying antibiotics and biochemicals during extraction; clarifying traditional Chinese medicine; processing chemical raw materials.

Waste & Recovery: Treating industrial wastewater; extracting wool grease from scouring effluent; recycling pulp; concentrating natural rubber latex.

Other Processes: Refining kaolin; processing electrolytes; environmental protection tasks; and essential laboratory applications in research, petroleum, and coking.
