Operation of Tubular Centrifuge

The Tubular Centrifuge comprises of bowl, specially designed slow acceleration motor & starter. The bowl rotates at 15000 r.m.p. generating a centrifugal force of 16000 times the gravitational force.

The liquid mixture to be separated enters the nozzle of the centrifuge placed at the bottom of the base. The centrifugal force acts on the liquid entering and separates the two liquids according to their specific gravities. The lighter liquid forms the inside layer and heavier liquid forms the outer layer.

Since the mixture is entering continuously in the bowl, two phases are discharged continuously from two separate outlets provided on the top portion of the machine. During clarification job, one discharge of clarified liquid is possible. Solids accumulated inside the bowl can be removed manually after stopping the machine.

Machine Assembly Components:

The bowl which is rotating at a speed of 15000 r.p.m is made out of centrifugal castings and consists of the top cover, the bottom cover, three wings assembly and the main motor.
