FLUITECO Rotary Drum Screen – GTR

Vertical pyrolysis centrifuges are a suitable technological solution to complete the separation process performed by receiver centrifuges. Centrifugal separators, with very high rotational speeds, can reach a centrifugal force of up to 10,000 grams. This very high centrifugal force is a key element that allows the separators to remove solid particles that have not been successfully trapped in previous separation steps. In addition, the achievable performance levels depend on many factors: structural (type and design of the disc, internal volume, surfaces and discharge devices) and operational (flow rate, product characteristics, amount and type of solid content, temperature).

 

The product enters the upper part of the separator through the feed tube for clarification and is then subjected to centrifugal force and is forced to pass through hundreds of internal disks. The combined operation of the centrifugal force combined with the internal disks leads to the separation of solid particles that deposit on the drum wall and are then automatically and intermittently discharged. Fluids rise to the top of the drum and are continuously discharged through free outlets or centrifugal pumps.

Description

GTR plates with or without compactor are used for solid-liquid separation for high flow rates and are suitable for combining both filtration and compaction operations. These plates have a plate basket, perforated sheet, and wedge wire that act as a filter and rotate with the transport screw, followed by a transport section that ends with a compression module. A screw connects the screening shaft to the compression/dewatering section, where it loses both volume and weight (up to 40%). The device is usually installed inside the channel with a suitable width, but can also be installed in the receiver tank.
