Applications:

The GEA Westfalia Separator decanter centrifuges are designed especially to operate in separation jobs, where high demands are put to continous separation of solids from suspensions with very high solids content. This means clarification of liquids, concentration of solids or classification of solids according to particle size. The fields of application are in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, starch industry, fish and fat processing industries, food and beverages industries and in waste water treatment plants.

Drive-System:

The decanter is driven by a low-noise three-phase AC motor. Power is transferred to the bowl via V-belts. The conveyor screw is also driven via V-belts and a Cyclo gear. The V-belts pulleys can be exchanged so as to produce various speed differentials. The main bowl bearings, the conveyor screw bearings and the Cyclo gear are lubricated with grease. The drive motor is installed beneath the bowl between the feet to save space and is dampened against vibrations.
