The LW series decanter centrifuge is a horizontal centrifuge designed for continuous feeding and continuous discharging. It uses centrifugal force to separate solid and liquid phases, with settling performance influenced by particle size, particle shape, the density difference between solids and liquids, and liquid viscosity.
This horizontal decanter centrifuge is widely used for solid dewatering, liquid clarification and separation, liquid-liquid-solid separation, and particle size classification of various suspensions. It is suitable for materials with particle sizes ranging from 0.005 to 15 mm, a solids concentration of 1% to 40%, and a working temperature of up to 100°C.

Working Principle
The horizontal screw centrifuge relies on the density difference between the solid and liquid phases to accelerate the sedimentation rate of solid particles under the action of centrifugal force to achieve solid liquid separation. The centrifuge consists of two rotors, one called a drum, and the other rotor is a screw discharger (referred to as a screw). When the drum rotates at a high speed, the slurry inside the drum rotates with the drum and is subjected to a centrifugal force that is many times greater than gravity. In this way, solid particles will be separated from the liquid and settle onto the inner wall of the drum from the centrifuge drum shaft. The screw discharger located inside the drum rotates at a speed lower than the drum and pushes the deposited solid particles to the slag outlet, The differential rotational speed between the outer drum and the screw discharger depends on the transmission ratio of the differential and its rotational speed.

Main Characteristics
Key Features of Shenzhou Machinery Sludge Dewatering Decanter Centrifuge
1. Tungsten Carbide Wear Protection
A high solids content can accelerate wear on centrifuge components that come into direct contact with sludge. To address this issue, Shenzhou Machinery uses tungsten carbide material on key wear parts, including the screw blade, solids discharge port and sludge distribution port. This wear protection helps reduce wear on critical components and extend the service life of the decanter centrifuge.
2. Dual-Motor Drive for Lower Power Consumption
Power consumption is an important concern for users. To provide sufficient torque for pushing out the solid cake, Shenzhou Machinery equips the decanter centrifuge with two drive motors using a common DC bus configuration. Under normal operating conditions, the rear motor works as a generator, helping reduce power consumption during the operation of the dewatering decanter centrifuge.
3. VFD & HMI Control System
Shenzhou Machinery equips the sludge dewatering decanter centrifuge with a VFD control panel. According to different sludge conditions and treatment targets, users can set the operating speed and differential speed of the machine. All settings can be adjusted through the HMI touchscreen, providing convenient control of the centrifuge operating parameters.
4. Temperature & Vibration Monitoring
Temperature and vibration sensors are integrated into the control system to monitor the operating condition of the decanter centrifuge. The signal receiving device installed in the control panel allows the VFD control panel to display operating conditions and monitor the machine during operation. For the feeding system, Shenzhou Machinery can also install VFDs and other electrical components in the control panel for feeding pump control.
5. Integrated Sludge Dewatering Package
In the Shenzhou Machinery sludge dewatering package, the decanter centrifuge serves as the core equipment and can be combined with a sludge feeding pump, polymer dosing unit and solid cake screw conveyor to form an integrated sludge dewatering package. This configuration integrates sludge feeding, polymer dosing, centrifugal dewatering and solid cake conveying into one complete system for sludge treatment applications.
Main Choices
According to user's requirement, the product contact parts can be made of austenite stainless (321, 316L….), Haynes alloy, titanic alloy or other anti-erosion materials.

Characteristics Of Suspension Materials
he larger the solid particles in the material, the easier it is to separate. The size of the solid particles varies, and the final separation effect is determined by the small particle solid phase. This machine can generally remove solid particles above 5 um. When the solid particles are especially small, they will not settle and separate out, but will be discharged together with the clarified liquid; The final separation effect depends on the distribution of solid particles in the material. The more particles above 5 um, the better the separation effect; On the contrary, the separation effect is worse.
Generally, crystalline solids and fibrous solids are easier to separate, while flocs and paste solids are more difficult to separate. Due to the large maximum water solubility of flocs and paste solids, when spirally pushing sediment, it is easy to slip and affect the separation effect, so the flow rate should not be too large when separating flocs and paste solids.
The greater the weight difference between the solid phase and the liquid phase, the better the separation, and vice versa, the worse the separation effect The lower the liquid viscosity, the easier it is to separate. When the liquid viscosity is higher, the solids entrained in the clarified liquid increase, and the separation effect becomes worse. At this time, the material temperature can be increased and the viscosity can be reduced to improve the separation effect (the maximum feed temperature is not greater than 95 ℃).
Selection Of Feed Flow (I.E., Processing Capacity)
From a separation perspective, the smaller the feed flow rate, the smaller the axial flow rate of the material in the drum, the longer the residence time of the material in the drum, and the better the separation effect. As the feed volume increases, the axial flow rate increases, and the retention time of the material in the drum decreases. The separation effect becomes worse.
The feed volume of the centrifuge is also limited by the maximum slag removal capacity of the spiral. If the feed volume is too large, the separated sediment will not be discharged in a timely manner, resulting in blockage of the drum.
Therefore, when using the centrifuge, the appropriate feed flow rate should be selected based on the material characteristics, separation requirements, and the solid content of the material, Generally, when the solid content is large, the feed rate should not be too large. The appropriate feed rate can be determined after comparing the separation effects of various flows. Generally, it is recommended that the flow rate should not be too large for materials that are difficult to separate, and the flow rate for materials that are easy to separate can be larger. However, attention should be paid to the maximum slag discharge amount of the spiral, otherwise it will cause material blockage
