Purifier working principle

The mixture to be separated is fed into the separator bowl from the top through feeding pipe, and enters the disc stack. The heavy phase and solids are forced towards the periphery of the bowl, while the light phase flows towards the centre of the bowl, from where it is pumped out for further processing. The heavy phase is led over a top disc into a chamber where an centripetal pump pumps it out of the separator. Solids collects in the solids holding space and is discharged intermittently and automatically.
The discharge is achieved by a hydraulic system, which at preset suitable intervals forces the sliding piston to drop down, thus opening the solids discharge ports at the bowl periphery. The sludge is collected in the frame, and leaves the centrifuge via a cyclone.
