Decanter Centrifudge Manufacturer Virtually all branches of industry need to separate solids from liquids at some point in their manufacturing processes. The Decanter Centrifuge is based on the simple idea of a clarifier or settling tank, in which particles, sediment and solids gradually fall to the bottom due to the force of gravity. However, such clarification is an extremely slow process and was not able to meet industry’s needs for more rapid, controllable results. The idea behind the development of the decanter centrifuge was therefore to provide the continuous mechanical separation of liquids from solids, to keep pace with modern industrial demands.
