The Industrial Decanter Centrifuge for High-Solids Slurry Thickening is designed for continuous concentration and separation of high-solid-content slurry streams.
It increases slurry solids concentration by removing excess liquid, reducing downstream processing load, storage volume, and transportation costs.
High-solids slurry may have poor flowability and difficult pumping characteristics.
Fine particles may settle slowly due to small particle size, low density difference, or high viscosity.
Large amounts of dilute slurry increase storage, transportation, and downstream treatment costs.
Some slurries contain fine particles, clay, or organic components that retain water.
Batch thickening methods may require frequent cleaning and manual operation.
High-Solids Slurry
→ Conditioning Tank / Mixing System
→ Controlled Feed Pump
→ Industrial Decanter Centrifuge
→ Thickened Solids + Clarified Liquid
Thickened Solids → Filtration / Drying / Transportation / Recovery
Clarified Liquid → Recycling / Further Treatment / Process Reuse
High-solids slurry enters the rotating bowl through a controlled feeding system.
Under centrifugal force, solid particles move toward the bowl wall and form a concentrated solids layer.
Separated liquid remains in the inner liquid zone and flows toward the liquid discharge outlet.
The scroll continuously transports thickened solids toward the conical discharge end.
Clarified liquid and concentrated solids are discharged continuously through separate outlets.

High centrifugal force accelerates particle settling and increases solids concentration compared with gravity thickening.
Removing excess liquid reduces the volume entering filtration, drying, or disposal processes.
Optimized separation conditions help recover valuable solids and reduce material loss.
The decanter centrifuge enables continuous feeding, thickening, and solids discharge without interruption.
For abrasive slurry applications, wear-resistant materials and protective components can be configured to extend equipment service life.
Please provide:
Yes. It is designed for continuous separation of high-solid-content slurry streams in mining, chemical, and industrial processes.
Thickening mainly increases solids concentration by removing free liquid, while dewatering further reduces moisture content for handling or disposal.
Yes. Wear-resistant scrolls, liners, and special materials can be configured for abrasive applications such as mining tailings and mineral slurry.
Yes. The separated liquid can be recycled or sent for further treatment depending on process requirements.
Performance depends on bowl speed, differential speed, pond depth, feed rate, and slurry characteristics. These parameters can be adjusted according to application requirements.
