The slurry (a mixture of solids and liquid) enters the rotating drum through a <strong>feed tube<\/strong>\u00a0and a <strong>screw conveyor inlet<\/strong>. As the drum spins at high speed, <strong>centrifugal force<\/strong>\u00a0causes heavier solid particles to move outward and deposit on the inner wall of the drum. Meanwhile, the <strong>screw conveyor<\/strong>, which rotates at a slightly different speed than the drum, continuously <strong>scrapes and transports<\/strong>\u00a0the accumulated solids toward the <strong>discharge port<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The clarified liquid exits the drum through adjustable <strong>weir plates<\/strong>. The <strong>differential gear mechanism<\/strong>\u00a0is key to enabling the relative motion between the drum and the screw conveyor. The <strong>differential casing<\/strong>\u00a0is connected to the drum, while its <strong>output shaft<\/strong>\u00a0is connected to the screw. The <strong>input shaft<\/strong>, driven by an auxiliary motor, applies a braking torque. This torque, through the planetary gears, precisely controls the screw&#8217;s rotation, ensuring a consistent and efficient separation process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Decanter Centrifuge\u00a0is an advanced separation device known for its low energy consumption, stable performance, and effective solid-liquid separation.
