Classifying centrifuges

The centrifuge basket is accelerated to feeding speed. The unclassified slurry is introduced into the basket through a feed pipe and an acceleration feed system to the lower part of the rotating basket. 

At the beginning of the centrifuge step the product is distributed uniformly over the basket wall and fills the product space of the drum. 

The centrifuge basket accelerate to max. speed.

Depending on the feed flow reate the size of the classified particles can vary. 

The coarse particles are kept in the basket while the classified slurry is discharged via overflow skimming pipe. 

The classifying time is 1 - 3 hours

When the basket is filled with sediment for approx. 70% the discharge step starts. 

The basket is slowed down to discharge speed. 

The sediment is discharged with the whirling peeler by adding EG or water.

The resdispersed sediment is discharged through holes in the bottom of the basket.
