The Decanter Centrifuge for Metal Powder Slurry Recovery is designed for continuous solid-liquid separation, metal powder recovery, slurry thickening, and process-liquid clarification.

It is suitable for metal powder washing, hydrometallurgy slurry, battery material process slurry, grinding and polishing wastewater, powder metallurgy wastewater, and fine metal particle recovery. The centrifuge separates suspended metal powders from the liquid phase continuously. Recovered solids can be sent to filtration, drying, storage, reuse, or further refining. Clarified liquid can be recycled to washing, grinding, process-water storage, or wastewater treatment.

Metal Powder Type

Different powders, such as nickel, cobalt, copper, iron, zinc, tungsten, stainless steel, or alloy powder, have different density, particle size, abrasion level, and chemical behavior.

Particle Size and Fine Content

Very fine metal powders may require slurry testing to confirm recovery rate, clarified-liquid quality, and suitable machine configuration.

Slurry Chemistry

pH, solvent content, chloride content, acid or alkali concentration, and temperature should be checked before selecting the bowl material, seals, and piping.

Safety Requirement

Some metal powders may be combustible, reactive, or sensitive when dry or exposed to air. Explosion-proof motors, sealed handling, nitrogen protection, or inert-gas configuration should be reviewed according to the plant safety standard.

Final Solids Condition

The decanter is mainly used for continuous thickening and primary dewatering. If lower final moisture is required, it can be combined with a filter press, vacuum filter, dryer, or closed drying system.

Continuous Metal Powder Recovery

The decanter continuously recovers metal powder solids from slurry, wash water, and process liquid, helping reduce product loss.

Suitable for Fine and Dense Particles

Metal powders usually have higher density than many mineral or organic solids. A decanter centrifuge can use centrifugal force to support continuous thickening and recovery.

Closed and Cleaner Operation

A sealed feed and discharge design can reduce splashing, product exposure, and operator contact with process liquid.

Wear and Corrosion Options

Wear-resistant protection and corrosion-resistant material can be selected according to particle hardness, pH, solvent content, chloride level, and operating temperature.

Process-Liquid Recycle

Clarified liquid can be reused in washing, grinding, reaction, or slurry preparation after suitable quality checking.

Flexible Integration

The decanter can be connected with slurry tanks, pumps, dosing systems, filter presses, dryers, storage tanks, and wastewater treatment systems.
