Operating principle:
Palm oil is one of the two most important vegetable oils in the world’s oil and fats market. Whatever the step in the palm oil milling process (clarification, POME, fertilizer, composting, biogas), a solid/liquid separation phase is needed to meet the requirements applying to the final product. The Shenzhou decanter centrifuge is the right solution to meet the separation needs (two and three phases) of palm oil producers and users.

The liquid phase of the Shenzhou decanter centrifuge is discharged under pressure (1.5 to 2 bar) in both 2- and 3-phase configurations by means of a skimmer (also named “pipette”) that can be adjusted at millimeter intervals during operation. The flexibility of the ANDRITZ pipette design allows the user to adjust removal of liquid phase instantly without having to stop the machine or loosen any nuts. This enables the palm oil mill operator to extract the best oil quality or to adapt to any change in process conditions. The system provides better separation and optimizes the yield.

The shenzhou decanter centrifuge offers the best combination of protection and moderate costs, enabling the customer to select the best fit from the wide range of options available. The different zones and elements in a decanter centrifuge that may be Specially designed 2- and 3-phase decanters for the palm oil miller subject to higher wear are protected by a carefully composed selection of wear protection means. A variety of materials ensure that your operations are able to withstand high temperatures as well as heavyduty and corrosive products. • To protect the bowl, the inner surface has strips or grooves, depending on machine size and application. Bowl outlets are protected with easily replaceable bushings. • To protect the screw conveyor, the inside of the feed chamber is coated with tungsten carbide spray or protected with TurboWISE polyurethane inserts. Feed chamber outlets are equipped with replaceable bushings, and the screw conveyor blade has replaceable tiles made of tungsten carbide. Good wear protection is a strategic, long-term investment with a guaranteed return. • To protect the solids casing, the receiving surface has a thick stainless steel plate. Exchangeable wear parts mean fewer repairs and less downtime, both of which lead directly to reduced maintenance costs.

EASY DISMANTLING While you are saving time in production, there is no need to lose time during maintenance! The inline design of the shenzhou decanter centrifuge allows easy dismantling (requiring only basic lifting equipment and an operator). This configuration saves expenses for maintenance and handling
