4 Solids holding space collects the solids separated in the disk stack.
Function
produces high centrifugal forces through rotation
making possible separation and clarification.
accelerates the product fed in through feed A to
the rotational velocity of the bowl and then con-
veys it into the disk stack.
• splits the liquid mixture consisting of a light
and heavy phase, e.g. oil-water, into its com-
ponents.
• consists of a large number of conical disks
positioned on top of one another.
Each disk is provided with spacers so that pre-
cisely defined interspaces are formed between
the individual disks.
The smooth disk surfaces facilitate sliding of the
solids and hence self-cleaning of the disks.
The separation space consists of a large number
of parallel chambers of low height. This pro-
duces very small radial sedimentation paths for
the product.
collect on the upper wall of each disk interspace
and slide down into the solids holding space.
