FeedProtect
Zona de alimentare cu protecție înlocuibilă împotriva uzurii
Zona de alimentare cu design unic FeedProtect asigură accelerarea delicată a produsului și turbulențe minime, rezultând o abraziune și un consum redus de energie. Designul FeedProtect este echipat cu căptușeli înlocuibile de protecție împotriva uzurii, asigurând un timp de funcționare ridicat al centrifugei dvs. decanter.
DeepPond
Performanță ridicată de separare și eficiență energetică
Creșterea adâncimii iazului în interiorul vasului creează un volum mai mare, ceea ce duce la un timp de retenție mai lung și o performanță de separare îmbunătățită. Designul DeepPond asigură o uscare ridicată a solidelor și un centrat curat din centrifuga decantor, chiar și la debite mari.
PowerTubes
Ieșire de lichid cu reglare a adâncimii bazinului și recuperare de energie
Ieșirile reglabile PowerTubes sunt concepute pentru a elibera lichidul tangențial la direcția de rotație, susținând rotația vasului și recuperând astfel energia și minimizând consumul de energie.
FlightProtect
Protecție împotriva uzurii pentru paletele transportoare
FlightProtect este un strat de protecție împotriva uzurii specific aplicației pentru paletele transportoare care păstrează integritatea fiecărei palete și îi prelungește durata de viață.
LiquidLock
Floating solids accelerator
A special device that accelerates floating solids from the surface into the solids layer. This results in liquids leaving the decanter centrifuge being of better quality.
How does a sludge dewatering centrifuge work?
Separation takes place in a horizontal cylindrical bowl equipped with a screw conveyor. The feed enters the bowl through a stationary inlet tube and is accelerated smoothly by an inlet distributor. The centrifugal force that results from the rotation then causes sedimentation of the solids on the wall of the bowl.
The conveyor rotates in the same direction as the bowl, but slightly slower, thus moving the solids towards the conical end of the bowl. A special patented Liquid-Lock conveyor design accelerates light particles before discharge for optimum separation. This also contributes to the small footprint of the unit.
Separation takes place throughout the entire length of the cylindrical part of the bowl. Relatively low G-force is needed for the i-Dec decanter to deliver good performance in terms of capacity and cake dryness. This contributes to low power consumption.
The clarified liquid leaves the bowl by flowing out of the casing viaspecial patented energy-saving PowerTubes that enable the effluent to discharge at lower speeds. The cake leaves the bowl into the casing through the solids discharge openings.
