AKUFVE - Model H - Liquid-Flow Centrifug Mixture Brochure

The liquid mixture enters centrally into the centrifuge and is accelerated to the rotational speed within the inlet chamber. After acceleration, the mixture is forced into the separation volume, which contains eight chambers, symmetrically arranged around the axis and totally isolated from each other. In this arrangement the mixture has a zig-zag motion, imposed by peripheral partition walls and interspersed baffle ridges. The separated phases are discharged (the light phase from the upper collecting chamber and the heavy phase from the lower one) by pump wheels, which are individually designed to provide the appropriate pressure and avoid excessive frothing of the liquids.
