Flottweg
Function
1.1/1
The medium to be separated is fed into the decanter through the central feed pipe (1).
The denser solids settle against the bowl wall (2) under the influence of the centrifugal
force.
The two liquid phases (3,4) , which have different densities, form hollow cylinders, the
light phase the inner one, the heavy phase the outer one.
The thickness of the individual liquid rings is determined by the adjustment of the
overflow weir (5) and the variable impeller (6).
The solids deposited on the bowl wall (7) are transported towards the conical end of the
bowl (9) by the conveyor scroll (8) to the discharge ports (10) and discharged into the
solids housing.
