What is centrifugal separation?
Centrifugal separation is a high-speed process that uses G-force to separate materials of different densities, such as solids from liquids or immiscible liquids. It is widely used to improve recovery, reduce waste, and increase efficiency in industrial processes.

How does a decanter centrifuge work?
A decanter centrifuge separates materials in three key stages:
- Feed slurry enters a rapidly rotating bowl
- Solids are forced outward by centrifugal force and conveyed to discharge
- Clarified liquid exits through separate outlets
This continuous process enables high throughput, efficient separation.
