Decanter Centrifuge
Decanter Centrifuge or a Solid Bowl Decanter Centrifuge is a highly versatile machine used for separating different mediums, with applications in key fields such as Water Conservation and Environment Protection, Industrial Wastewater Treatment, Energy Recycling and various Industrial Process Applications. Just as the versatile as the applications are the process requirements that are reflected in our various machine designs.
Customer Optimized
We have a wide repertoire of measures that we deploy to optimize our machines to the process requirement of the customers. Based on application and sludge/slurry to be separated, we supply machines with various MOC combinations and drive systems. This ensures a “Perfect Fit” scenario, which are application/requirement specific, which in turn acts as an economic tool for our customers to ensure least possible financial implications.
Extending beyond typical requirements we have custom developed machines for special applications such as Brine Sludge Treatment, Soya Lecithin Extraction, Sesame Oil Production to name a few.
Centrifuges are used for many applications in this field, such as, dewatering of sewage municipal sludge, dewatering domestic and hospitality industry sewage sludge and in preparation of potable water
Advantages Of Decanter Centrifuges
- Reduces Total Disposal Volume by as much as 70-80%
- Produces stackable cake like separated solids with no free liquid
- Reduces handling costs
- Increases options for viable sludge disposal
- Totally enclosed for odour minimization
- Complete automation in operation to reduce operator attention
- Low maintenance and spares cost
- Continuous operation
- Space Saving: Small equipment footprint
- Repairs and Maintenance at site
Distillery
Distilleries are broadly divided based on their raw material source for producing alcohol. Some use grains (such as broken rice, maize etc.), while others use molasses as their raw material. In both types, our machines are used for dewatering Spent Wash from Grain Based Distilleries and Fermented Wash from Molasses Based Distilleries for production of ENA (Extra Neutral Alcohol). The separated liquid phase or treated wash is recycled back for Methane Gas Production, while the solid cake is resold as animal feed.
Specialization of our machines for this application completely depends on the raw material source and it’s quality. For example, grain based distilleries using broken rice as it’s raw material, high amounts of fine sand particles are present. This requires our machines to be fitted with special overhead protection of the scroll/conveyor, using Tungsten Carbide Tiles and Electrodes imported. This is done to increase lifetime of the machine, whilst keeping level of separation at optimum.
Industrial Water Management
Industrial wastewater from Effluent Treatment Plant is required to meet pre-treatment or discharge limits in accordance with various environmental laws and regulations. As the requirement for cleaner discharge water increase, so does the sophistication of industrial treatment process being designed and built today.
In various industrial ETPs, the effluent after being subjected to the rigours of our machines, produce a solid-liquid separation to the degree of the separated liquid phase being reused for further application/functions within that industrial setup itself or can be easily discharged in accordance of environmental laws. Furthermore, the solids produced in cake form can also be disposed of easily and efficiently, while in some cases have been known to be further used of economically viable applications.

Food & Beverage
The market for food and drink is experiencing continued growth. Industry is required to provide a high level of services to be able to meet the wide variety of customer requirements. As a result, suppliers to this industry sector face high requirements in relation to hygiene, efficiency and gentle product processing. Hence we make custom built / tailor made machines for any applications in this industry. Some of our process applications in the Food & Beverage industry include the following .
Sesame Seed De-hulling
Commercial grade sesame seeds, after destining and removal of fines (i.e dust), are soaked in boiling Sodium Hydroxide solutions for removal of husks. The water from washed seeds is dewatered in our machines to reduce water pollution.
Palm Oil Production
Our machines are used for POME sludge separation to recover Palm Oil and as a result, produce a separated solid cake which is further utilized as soil conditioners or as cattle feed.
Meat Industry
Apart from our centrifuges being used extensively in Slaughter House ETPs, they are also used in the process of rendering to separate water, fat and protein components. These protein components (such as blood, bone and meat bits) are use to manufacture commercial by products such as tallow and blood coagulation.
Potato / Starch Industry
From starch dewatering to potato wash water cleaning our Decanter Centrifuges are used to dewater various slurry/sludge types of the Potato Industry.
