Work principle:
The feed liquid / slurry is introduced to the centrifuge through a feed tube and into the feed distribution chamber, and is jetted into the drum through the hole near the cone point of the scroll. Under centrifugal force the solids separate from the liquid and settle against the bowl wall, while the clarified liquid exits over the overflow screen. The solids in the conical drum are conveyed up from the smaller end to the bigger end while the scroll turns at a slightly different speed. The bigger diameter is, the bigger centrifugal force produces to separate the liquid/solids.

The solids are dried when they are drained out the drum.

LWL horizontal scroll centrifuge is the one with low energy consumption, stable performance and good separating effectiveness. It is widely applied to chemical, foodstuffs, salts, mining and pharmacy industries. The separation processing from feeding to dewatering, cleaning and discharging is continuous with high processing efficiency and degree of automation. It is the advanced separation equipment.

Given the working principle and its structure, this model of centrifuges is not applied to all materials. So it needs to test and analyze the materials before selecting this model.
