Special Features of Pusher Centrifuges
The pusher centrifuge is a continuously operating filtration centrifuge used to process bulk products in the chemical or mineral industries. Propulsion centrifuge technology has evolved over the past few years, improving energy efficiency and operational methods. This article provides you with some of the features of pusher centrifuges. Operation The operation of a pusher centrifuge is simple. The suspension enters the feed distributor through the feed tube, which rotates with the basket, thereby accelerating the suspension and distributing it evenly into the feed zone. Most of the liquid is filtered out here. In the feed zone, the solids grow to form a stable filter cake ring, which is conveyed in the direction of solids discharge. At the end of the basket, solids are ejected with each pusher movement, resulting in a continuous solids discharge. Pusher centrifuges come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The smallest centrifuges can process at least ...
