The adoption of technology allows to deliver leading production efficiency.So Tricanter Centrifuges stands for brand-name products in the field of Decanter centrifuge.
The bowl and the screw make high-speed rotation with a certain differential speed between them. The feeding material will enter the bowl from the feed tube. Under the action of centrifugal force field, the liquids of high specific weight will accumlate on the inner walls of the bowl, and be discharged through the centripetal pump or overflow plate. The liquids of low specific weight will form an inner liquid ring, stick to the surfaces of heavy liquids, and be discharged from the overflow channel. Under the action of the spiral pusher, the solids in the feed will be continuously pushed to the taper end of the bowl and discharged from the residue outlet after going through the drying area.
In order to fully understand how a tricanter centrifuge operates, we must first define what a centrifuge does. In many industrial applications, solid material often mixes with liquids, contaminating water supplies, creating sludge that is expensive for disposal, or contaminating valuable products.
Let's dive into the details of what tricanter centrifuges are, the industries they benefit, advantages, disadvantages and more.What is a Tricanter Centrifuge?
In the typical separation process, solids are separated from liquids. This scenario can often be accomplished by using a decanter centrifuge. However, in some situations there are 2 liquids of different densities that need to be separated in addition to the solids.
Enter the right solution: Tricanter centrifuges (also known as 3-phase centrifuges).
Tricanter centrifuges allow for continuous separation of three phases (solid-liquid-liquid) in one process. Having a continuous separation of three phases in a single process is extremely beneficial in many applications where there is value in recovering a particular product or products from a multi-phased mixture.
What Industries Do They Benefit?
Tricanter centrifuges are useful separating solids and two liquids of different densities, and are valuable components of the tank cleaning, oil processing, metal recycling, and hemp industries just to name a few. Tricanters allow these industries to separate out components of a mixture of solid and 2 liquids of different densities such as oil and water.
Moreover, with a centrifuge, companies operating in these industries are more efficient and can provide a beneficial return of valuable materials through 3-phase separation.
For example, in the tank cleaning industry, industrial service companies using tricanters are able to create dryer solids for
disposal, water that can be processed on site in the refinery, and return valuable oil back to the refinery
Operating principle:
The purpose of separation is to separate out substances with different mass ratios from mixed fluid.Separation forms included solid-liquid separation,liquid-liquid separation and liquid-liquid-solid separation.
When mixed fluid enters rotating bowl of centrifuge through feed tube ,solids with larger density would rapidly deposit on inner wall of the bowl,forced by centrifugal acceleration.Then spiral pusher pushed deposited solids to taper end of the bowl,and discharges them out of centrifuge from residual outlet.Meanwhile ,liquid phase with smaller density forms a liquid ring layer and discharges from bowl through overflow port,the bowl and spiral pusher run at a high speed simultaneously ,for there exists speed discrepancy,deposited solids on the wall of bowl could be conveyed to residue outlet by spiral pusher.This separation process carry out continuously.

In the production of surimi, the shredded fish fillets will go through two to three cleaning processes. In this process, impurities such as blood and fat are washed away. The washing water is usually roughly filtered through a rotating sieve. In traditional surimi production, the dehydration of fish meat is done by a screw press. The meat is then treated with antifreeze and deep-frozen. This surimi production method has many disadvantages: Different washing stages and screw pressing process lead to a large amount of fish fiber loss 1.Need a lot of cleaning water 2.Huge space requirement 3.The raw material is easy to be infected with bacteria The Shenzhou decanter centrifuge can solve all the above problems. In the production of surimi, the decanter centrifuge can not only recover the fish meat from the washing water, but also replace the screw press. In this way, the output rate of the surimi production process can be significantly improved.
The use of tricanter centrifuges for a three-phase separation may have several pros and cons.
Advantages
1. Reduced Processing Time
Tricanter centrifuges allow for faster and more efficient separation than other technologies such as settling tanks and skimmers.
2. Fast commissioning and start-up
Not only is the device easy to install and fast at starting up and shutting down, but also requires a small area for operation
compared to other competitive processes.
3. Size Versatility
Tricanter centrifuges (3 Phase Centrifuge) are versatile, different diameters of the cylindrical bowl section and the cone angle can be selected for different applications.
Also, centrifuge technology allows for adjustments in processing and bowl speed to improve separation and provide a cleaner product on the back end of the process. Other competitive technologies don’t allow for this fine tuning.
4. Higher Throughput Capacity
Depending on the size of the machine centrifuges can offer a higher throughput than other technologies.
Limitations
1. Noise and Vibration
The machine can be very noisy
2. High-Energy Consumption
The device has a high-energy consumption due to large motors and pumps needed to run the unit.
3. High equipment capital costs
The tricanter centrifuge has high equipment capital costs. But with this cost comes increased efficiency allowing this cost to be recovered over time.
Scope of application:
Applications Overview
Manufacturing Foodstuffs
The foodstuffs industry offers a wide range of applications for mechanical separation technology. SHENZHOU centrifuges are in accordance with the quality standards and expectations of both consumers and foodstuffs producers.
We produce centrifuges - Made in China - for numerous areas in the foodstuffs industry, such as the production of wheat starch, soya milk or soya proteins. shenzhou also satisfies the most exacting requirements when it comes to producing lactose and casein,removing dust from whey or drying okara. Chemicals, Petrochemicals and White, Industrial Biotechnology Both in chemicals and white biotechnology, mechanical separation technology represents an important component in many processes.
SHENZHOU decanters and separators treat liquids, separate liquid blends, classify or dewater solids and extract constituents.
In the petrochemicals industry, dewatering PVC plays an important role. PVC dewatered using the SHENZHOU decanter has a lower residual moisture level, which means it saves costs during subsequent thermal drying.
Separating Plastics - Plastics Recycling Centrifuges also play an important role in the separation of plastics and plastics recycling. In particular, the Decanter developed by Shenzhou provides economical plastics recycling by separating different types of plastic.
Pharmaceuticals
Algae are the precursors for many different branches of industry Shenzhou offers an innovative process for high-efficiency algae harvest. The Sedicanter dewaters the concentrated algae to 22 to 25% solid content. Only this special decanter centrifuge is capable of efficiently concentrating the fine and soft algae cells.
Why Use Centrifuges to Clean Produced Water?
As the oil and gas industry moves toward produced water recycling for fracking, it is recognized that produced water must undergo several treatments in order to be reused safely.
Oil removal is one of the treatments produced water must undergo; the oil from produced water has a value if treated and processed to meet the required BS&W (Basic Sediment & Water) for resale.
Including a 3-phase centrifuge in the produced water cleaning process, enables for oil to be recovered faster than the typical separation methods
