GN as a  leading manufacturer of solid-liquid separation equipment, GN has been dedicated to providing top-notch separation solutions to our global customers. Our GNLW224FT-VFD decanter centrifuge has recently helped a foreign customer efficiently separate solids from a kaolin powder suspension, showcasing the outstanding performance and wide application of our equipment in the market.

The LW Series decanter is designed with a unique horizontal configuration, which allows for a more efficient and reliable solid-liquid separation process. The machine features a high-speed rotation that creates a powerful centrifugal force, efficiently separating solids from liquids even in challenging applications like kaolin powder suspension. Additionally, its advanced design minimizes the risk of clogging, ensuring continuous and stable operation.

This successful case demonstrates the LW Series decanter cerfrigue’s  unparalleled performance in the global market. With its efficient separation capabilities, the machine has gained popularity among customers in various industries, including mining, chemical, food, and pharmaceuticals. GN is committed to continuing our research and development efforts to provide even better separation solutions to our customers worldwide.

We believe that our equipment’s performance speaks for itself. The LW Series decanter centrifuge’s success in the kaolin powder suspension separation project is just one example of how our machines can help customers achieve efficient and cost-effective solid-liquid separation. We look forward to collaborating with more customers and exploring new applications for our innovative separation solutions.

In many industry applications, it is often the case that solids materials are mixed with liquid. For instance in water well drilling process there is a lot of slurry. Dumping will contaminate environment and waste a lot of water, and it may damage landscape. Under this circumstance, decanter centrifuge will play a very important role to separate solids from liquid. Without decanter centrifuge, solids/liquid separation will become low efficient, high cost and waste of liquid because of low separation efficiencies in other means of separation.

The mostly commonly used decanter centrifuge horizontal type. They work under the principle of gravitational separation. Let us take an example. If you fill a container with mud and liquid. The weight of the mud will cause it to settle down to the bottom of the container. The aggregation of the solids on the base of the container will force liquid to stay on top of the solids, generating a obvious barrier between solids and liquid. The longer the mud is undisturbed in the container, the clearer the liquid is.

Decanter centrifuge uses the same principle of gravitational force. The difference is that decanter centrifuge formulates a much stronger gravitational force, which is usually 500 to 5000 time the regular gravitational force, which greatly reduce the time for solids to settle down, and the sizes of smallest particles decanter centrifuge can remove.

Rotational separation can be found in many area, from amusement parks to country county ground. Rotating horizontally gives you a force to overcome gravitational force from the earth. Decanter centrifuge works the same way, except that the rotation can be vertical, causing solids to move in radial direction, not in horizontal direction as we see in amusement park. The other thing is that decanter centrifuge rotates in much higher RPM, usually in a few hundreds RPM. Small centrifuges can run at the speed of over 10,000 RPM.

Separation of solids from liquid is routinely encountered in industry. There is numerous needs for such differentiation, from iron and steel complex, oil and gas exploration and production, to manufacturing of cooking oil, separation of solids from liquid is indispensable.

Traditionally such separation is done by static setting – mixture of liquid and solids are sent to a container, or a specially designed tank with mechanism inside the tank with the intention to speed up the setting process.

The advantage of such static setting is low cost, as the tank and the associated transferring equipment is all what is needed.

The disadvantage is its low efficiency, as the deposition process is described by Stock’s law. The smaller the difference between the specific gravity of the two phases, the longer time it takes. Sometimes it takes so long that such process makes no sense.

In order to solve this problem, many efforts have been made. The decanter centrifuge by GN Solids Control is a very efficient solution.

Working under the principle of centrifugal force, the decanter centrifuge by GN Solids Control rotates the material inside the spinning bowl at the speed of up to 4500RPM. Generated G force can be up to 3000G. In other word it is 3000 times more efficient than static setting process, if G force is used as the comparison criteria.

Under such separation force, solids is quickly thrown to the surface of the bowl and liquid is floated on top of the set solids. A specially designed decanter inside the rotating bowl, a specially shaped screw conveyor, will send set solids to one side of the bowl and discharge solids through Tungsten Carbide enforced opening. Separated liquid will be discharged from the other end of bowl called weir whose height is adjustable.

A unique features of GN decanter is how the bowl is built. It is centrifugally casted with 2304 stainless steel, which results in pretty evenly distributed density throughout the bowl. This is crucial to the normal operation of the decanter centrifuge because of the very high G force. For instance, 1 gram of out of balance weight can be as big as 3000 gram at the highest rotation speed. Centrifugal casting greatly reduced the potential of out of balance, though it is much more expensive to cast the bowl.

GN Solids Control horizontal screw centrifuge is used for alumina dehydration treatment on site. The horizontal screw centrifuge has achieved good results through on-site processing. On-site customers have given positive evaluation and high recognition. GN Solids Control special centrifuge technology service The team assembled and commissioned the service on the spot. The professionalism and excellent technical support of our after-sales service personnel impressed the customers and achieved very good results in the dehydration treatment of alumina.

The concentration of alumina sludge before treatment in the on-site use of the horizontal screw centrifuge produced by GN Solids Control is between 8% and 10%. The on-site customer requires the sludge concentration after dewatering to reach 60% to 80%. Containing alumina (fine particle) water and sodium nitrate dissolved in water, Guanneng’s decanter centrifuge can meet the customer’s alumina sludge dewatering requirements. According to the customer’s processing requirements, we can choose different sizes of snail centrifuge. machine. The various types of horizontal screw centrifuges produced by GN Solids Control are mainly used for recovering barite, separating sewage, separating fine solids, reducing the solid content of materials, effectively controlling the density and viscosity of on-site drilling fluid, and ensuring customer drilling fluid. Performance. The straight section and the taper section of the horizontal screw centrifuge are made of 2304 bidirectional stainless steel and are cast by centrifugation. The rest of the drum assembly is made of SS304 stainless steel. The centrifuge auger is protected by wear-resistant alloy sheet for easy maintenance and replacement. . The centrifuge bearing adopts the original imported SKF bearing to improve the stability of the equipment and the service life of the bearing. The design team of Guanneng Centrifuge has accumulated a lot of practical experience in the field, and developed a batch of multi-purpose, which can adapt to various environments and different specifications. High-speed, medium-speed, low-speed and variable frequency centrifuge products have been well received by customers after being put on the market.
