Horizontal screw centrifuges can generally be divided into horizontal screw filter centrifuges and horizontal screw sedimentation centrifuges. A horizontal screw centrifuge is a horizontal screw discharge, continuous operation sedimentation device.
The working principle of the centrifuge is as follows: the drum and screw rotate at high speed in the same direction with a certain differential speed. The material is continuously introduced into the inner cylinder of the conveying screw through the feed pipe, accelerated, and then enters the drum. Under the action of centrifugal force, the heavier solids are deposited on the drum wall to form a sludge layer. The conveying screw continuously pushes the deposited solids to the conical end of the drum and discharges them from the machine through the sludge discharge port. The lighter liquids form an inner liquid ring, continuously overflowing from the large end overflow port of the drum and being discharged from the machine through the liquid discharge port. This machine can continuously feed, separate, wash, and discharge at full speed. It features a compact structure, continuous operation, stable operation, strong adaptability, large production capacity, and convenient maintenance. It is suitable for separating suspensions containing solid particles larger than 0.005mm and with a concentration range of 2-40%. It is widely used in chemical, light industry, pharmaceutical, food, environmental protection and other industries.
