Excellent Disc Stack Centrifuge with different bowl from SEPARATECH

Disc Stack Centrifuge

Disc stack centrifuge, also known as disk stack centrifuge, disc separator or disc bowl centrifuge, features a series of conical discs that splitting centrifugation space into thin layers. The disc stacks increase the surface settling area which speeds up the separation process.

The disc stack centrifuge is used to remove solids phase from liquid, or to separate two liquid phases from each other by means of an enormously high centrifugal force, which is higher than 10,000g in most cases.

The denser solids or liquids which are subjected to these forces move outwards towards the rotating bowl wall while the less dense fluids move towards the centre.

Different disc stack designs, arrangements and shapes are used for different processes depending on the type of feed present. The concentrated denser solid or liquid is then removed continuously, manually or intermittently, depending on the design of the bowl.

The disc stack centrifuge is very suitable for clarifying, concentrating, purifying products. Self-cleaning bowl, solids retaining bowl, nozzle bowl and chamber bowl are the most common design.

Basic principle of disc stack centrifuge

The basic principle behind a disc stack centrifuge is the separation of different components in a mixture based on their density difference. This is achieved by spinning a bowl containing the mixture at high speeds, which generates a centrifugal force that causes denser particles or liquids to move outwards towards the bowl wall while less dense fluids move towards the center.

A disc stack within the bowl contributes to higher separation efficiency by substantially increasing the separation area in the separator bowl. The conical discs in the stack create a series of narrow channels through which the fluid must pass. As the fluid moves through these channels, denser particles or liquids are forced outwards towards the bowl wall while less dense fluids move towards the center.

Once separated, the different components can be removed from the disc stack centrifuge for further processing or disposal.

Self-cleaning Disc Separator

Self-Cleaning Disc Separator with self-cleaning bowl, is able to periodically discharge the separated solids at full speed. For liquid/liquid/solid separation.

Nozzle Separator

Nozzle separator is continuously operating disc centrifuge, for concentrating solids and clarifying liquids. Concentrated solids is discharged through nozzles.

Solids Retaining Separator

Solids retaining separator, also known as solid wall bowl centrifuge, features its solid wall bowl, or cylindrical bowl design. Feed solids < 0.5% v/v .

Chamber Bowl Separator

Chamber bowl separator is solid-bowl centrifuge with annular inserts, which divide the bowl separation chamber into several concentric annular chambers.

Nozzle Separator

Nozzle separator is continuously operating disc centrifuge, for concentrating solids and clarifying liquids. Concentrated solids is discharged through nozzles.

Solids Retaining Separator

Solids retaining separator, also known as solid wall bowl centrifuge, features its solid wall bowl, or cylindrical bowl design. Feed solids < 0.5% v/v .
