W Series Horizontal Continuous Decanter Centrifuge /Decanter Centrifuge Separator

Wide-ranging performance

The Reyes Separator decanter centrifuge offers exceptional performance when separating solids from liquids, enabling continuous, efficient, and controlled operation. These units are designed to handle a wide range of solid particles, from 5mm down to a few microns, and can process slurries with solid content ranging from as low as 0.1% w/w to over 65% w/w.

The decanter centrifuge is ideal for both 2-phase and 3-phase separation processes. In 2-phase separation, the feed suspension enters the system and is accelerated into the bowl. Solids are conveyed axially towards the small end of the bowl by a screw conveyor rotating slightly faster than the bowl itself. The liquid phase forms a hollow cylinder due to centrifugal force and flows toward the large end of the bowl, where it is discharged through plate dams into the centrate chamber.

In 3-phase separation, the light and heavy liquid phases are separated using radial and axial holes in the large end hub. A separating plate ensures that the light liquid phase does not exit through the heavy liquid phase outlet. This advanced design allows for precise control over the separation process, ensuring optimal results for complex applications.

Features

• All product-contact parts are made of stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance.
• Three-phase AC motor for controlled torque starting via frequency converter.
• Bowl speed adjustable via VFD for optimized G-force and separation efficiency.
• Pond depth in the bowl is adjustable for balance between liquid clarity and solids dryness.
• Conveying speed adjustable for optimal performance based on application requirements.
• Low labor costs due to continuous and automatic operation.
• High G-force for increased solids output and processing capacity.
• Automatic differential speed adjustment via VFD for consistent performance.
• Two-motor drive system for reliable and efficient operation.
• Belts for both primary and secondary motors for smooth power transmission.

Materials

All components in direct contact with the process media, such as the bowl, conveyor, inlet tube, outlets, and cover, are constructed from stainless steel. The discharge ports, conveyor flights, and feed zone are reinforced with erosion-resistant materials to ensure long-lasting performance. The frame is made of mild steel with an epoxy enamel finish for added strength and protection against wear and tear.

Wear Protection

Reyes Separator provides a comprehensive range of wear protection solutions tailored to meet the needs of various applications. Options include:

• Welded hard facing or spray coating for enhanced durability.
• Ceramic coatings for high resistance to abrasion.
• Tungsten carbide tiles for extreme wear conditions.
• Chilled hard metal port castings for improved longevity.
• Plastic liners for lightweight and corrosion-resistant protection.

Design

The rotating assembly of these avocado oil tricanter centrifuges is mounted on a compact, in-line frame with bearings at both ends. Vibration dampers are installed beneath the frame to reduce operational noise and enhance stability. The rotating part is enclosed in a casing with a cover and a bottom section featuring integrated outlets for both solids and liquid removal.
