The decanter centrifuge is a type of solid-liquid separation gear employed for separating liquid from solid particles or removing all elements in the liquid mixture by utilizing centrifugal force. The industrial decanter centrifuge was made in the middle of nineteenth century, and then the old kind relating to decanter centrifuge adopted intermittent operation and then artificial slag separation. The drilling mud desander regarding continuous operation was produced within the 1930s as a result of the improvement for slag unloading institution, and at the same time, the centrifuge concerning intermittent operation was also created due to the achievement related to automatic management.

The decanter centrifuge is mostly employed for the separation between solid particles and liquid in the suspension. The horizontal decanter centrifuge is commonly utilised for the chemical business, petroleum market, food industry, medicine industry, mineral processing industry, coal industry, water remedy, ships business, and so forth.
 

The industrial centrifuge may be divided into the filtering centrifuge and the horizontal decanter centrifuge plus the segregating unit. The decanter centrifuge has the working principle that elements for various densities in the suspension liquid or the emulsion liquid can quickly obtain sedimentation layering to attain liquid and then strong separation.

The centrifuge may be chosen according to the size and concentration of the strong particles within the suspension liquid or the drilling flare ignition device, density contrast of two liquids, the viscosity of the liquids, the qualities regarding the residue or the sediment, coupled with the separation requirement, at the same time, the requirements concerning the moisture content materials about the residue or the sediment and the clarity of the filtering liquid as well as the separated liquid will be taken into consideration to decide the choice of the centrifuge.

After that, the kind and the specification connected with the centrifuge might be determined and tested by thinking about the processing capacity and additionally automatic operation specifications. More often than not, the tiny or compressible particles inside the suspension liquid can employ the decanter centrifuge.

In order to guarantee the security coupled with centrifugal effect, the decanter centrifuge should be placed on a sturdy level surface, and the engineering plastic cover ought to not be placed with any object. The rotor might be checked just before making use of it to check if there are the phenomena related to crack or corrosion.

At the same time, the centrifugal barrel should be tested through crack and aging tests, and also if there exists any problem, it ought to not be stopped instantly.
