Decanter

The Decanter is used for the separation of two or more phases of different specific gravity in particular for the clarifying of liquids in which suspended solids are presents. The separation of solids and liquids takes place within a cylindrical/ truncated cone-shaped rotating drum, upon the periphery of which the heavier solid phase collects and is continually removed by the internal auger. A polyelectrolyte is not always compatible with products being processed. It is generally used in purification processes for the drying of sludge but not in intermediate product conversion processes and even less in the processing of foodstuffs.
