6 Causes of Disc Stack Centrifuge Bad Separation
Synopsis Disc Centrifuge separation results depend on internal (centrifuge specific) and external (process fluid-related) factors. In this article, we discuss the common reasons behind disc stack centrifuge bad separation. We will first discuss internal, i.e., centrifuge-related causes of bad separation results. Following this, we will discuss external factors that often affect separation results. Disc Centrifuge… Continue reading 6 Causes of Disc Stack Centrifuge Bad Separation
Machining Coolant Recovery Centrifuge with Pasteurizing
Synopsys A machining coolant recovery centrifuge is a 3-phase disc centrifuge that is widely used to recover water-based coolants for reuse. Coolant pasteurizing, in addition to centrifugation, is worth considering due to its benefits. This article evaluates the benefits of coolant pasteurizing together with a disc centrifuge. Machining Coolant – What is it? Why is… Continue reading Machining Coolant Recovery Centrifuge with Pasteurizing
Removing Metals from Used Engine Oil | Industrial Centrifuge
Used Engine Oil – What is it? Where Does it Come From? Used engine oil is a term used to describe used lubricating oil from Internal Combustion (IC) engines. Lubricating oil tends to lose its lubricating properties with use. Hence, the oil is periodically replaced to prolong engine life and prevent breakdowns. The oil that is… Continue reading Removing Metals from Used Engine Oil | Industrial Centrifuge
Disadvantages of a Disc-Stack Centrifuge | Illustrated Guide
Synopsis Though there are several advantages to disc-stack centrifuge, there are some equally important disadvantages. The following are some of the main disadvantages of disc-stack centrifuges and corresponding workarounds. Particle Size in Process Liquid The stack of conical discs (disc-stack) has a preset spacing between the discs. Typically this is in the range of 500… Continue reading Disadvantages of a Disc-Stack Centrifuge | Illustrated Guide
Decanter Centrifuge Pond Depth | Effects on Cake Dryness & Liquid Clarity
30-Second Summary Takeaway In this article, you will learn more about the pond depth concerning a decanter centrifuge. We address the following typical questions related to pond depth. Decanter Centrifuge Pond Depth The decanter centrifuge bowl rotation causes the fluid to form a concentric layer or ‘pond’ on the bowl shell. The depth or thickness… Continue reading Decanter Centrifuge Pond Depth | Effects on Cake Dryness & Liquid Clarity

What are the different speeds related to a Decanter Centrifuge? Speed is often referenced in the context of decanter centrifuges. In technical terms, speed refers to the rotational speed or… Continue reading Decanter Centrifuge Differential Speed Calculator | Dolphin Centrifuge
Difference Between Purifier and Clarifier Centrifuge
Synopsis The primary difference between a purifier and a clarifier centrifuge is that a purifier separates one liquid from another liquid and solids simultaneously. Therefore, a purifier is a three-phase separator. A clarifier centrifuge separates a liquid from solids, which is also known as two-phase separation. This illustrated article explains the technical differences between these… Continue reading Difference Between Purifier and Clarifier Centrifuge
Disc Stack Centrifuge Troubleshooting | Paring Disc Block
Synopsis The paring disc (aka impeller) is the centripetal pump built into the disc stack centrifuge bowl. The dense phase (often water) paring disc gets blocked with solids (plugged) in high sludge applications. This article discusses the cause of this problem and possible solutions for Alfa Laval and similar disc-stack centrifuges. Water Paring Disc –… Continue reading Disc Stack Centrifuge Troubleshooting | Paring Disc Block
