Disc Stack Centrifuge Troubleshooting | Clogged Bowl Discs
Excessive sludge can potentially clog the bowl discs in a disc stack centrifuge. If the sludge enters the inter-disc space, it blocks the passage for fluid to pass between discs. This condition is known as a clogged disc stack, drastically affecting the centrifuge performance. Clogged bowl discs can also be a safety issue and should… Continue reading Disc Stack Centrifuge Troubleshooting | Clogged Bowl Discs

10 Reasons a Disc Centrifuge Cannot Reach Operating Speed
A disc stack centrifuge uses the centrifugal force it generates to separate the liquid from solid and liquid from liquid. The centrifugal force exerted is a direct function of the bowl’s rotating speed. A disc centrifuge cannot reach operating speed due to several reasons. In this article, we will explore the causes and relevant fixes… Continue reading 10 Reasons a Disc Centrifuge Cannot Reach Operating Speed
Disc Centrifuge Friction Clutch Maintenance: A complete guide
If you have an Alfa Laval disc stack centrifuge, it is crucial to know how to maintain the friction clutch to avoid centrifuge breakdowns and unplanned maintenance downtime. Also, a worn-out clutch causes a host of other issues for the centrifuge in the long run. This article discusses the maintenance and repair of the friction… Continue reading Disc Centrifuge Friction Clutch Maintenance: A complete guide
Can a centrifuge separate salt from water?
A centrifuge cannot separate salt from water. Centrifuges use the force of gravity to affect the separation of solids from liquids. Salt dissolves in water to form a solution. The centrifugal force exerted by a centrifuge separates immiscible phases such as sand from water but not miscible phases such as salt in water. Why can’t… Continue reading Can a centrifuge separate salt from water?

Centrifugal Filter | Working Principle, Types, Benefits, Applications
What is a centrifuge or centrifugal filter? The process of using centrifugal force to separate solids from liquids is called centrifugal filtration. This method uses gravitational force instead of filter media to affect the separation. A centrifugal filter separates a range of particles based on their density, whereas a conventional filter separates particles based on… Continue reading Centrifugal Filter | Working Principle, Types, Benefits, Applications
