Solid-liquid separation is a common manufacturing process in countless industries, and Alfa Laval has over 60 years of experience using decanter centrifuges to meet this requirement. Their operation makes use of centrifugal force – the effect can be up to 4000 times greater compared to using gravitational forces.
Alfa Laval uses high-grade stainless steel for all parts in contact with the solid-liquid separation process to prevent corrosion. High-stress rotating components are machined from high-strength centrifugally cast stainless steel – ensuring uniform, flaw-free castings and weld-free components for maximum strength, reliability, and long service life. Wear-prone areas, such as the feed zone, solids discharge output zone, bowl, and scroll, are protected by abrasion-resistant materials tailored to each industrial process. Continual refinement of the seal technology used in Alfa Laval decanter separators is ensured by our technological resources for superior performance.
