| Frontier Technology, Inc. (FTI) supplies
high performance decanter centrifuges to industries requiring cost effective
solids/liquids separation. Utilizing the latest technologies, FTI centrifuges
are designed for efficiency, reliability and to constantly deliver high
performance results: • The feed chambers have been designed to reduce turbulence resulting in less wear on the centrifuge. • The scroll has been improved to increase solids handling, resulting in higher flow rates. • Higher flow ratres lower the power consumption of the centrifuge (KW per gpm), resulting in lower operation and maintenance costs. |

HOW THE CENTRIFUGE WORKS
|
|||
|
|
|||
| The centrifuge is a rotating assembly that uses centrifugal force to separate solids from liquids. The materials fed into the centrfuge each have different specific gravities that allow them to "settle" concentrically at different levels in the rotating assembly of the centrifuge. The material with the higher specific gravity (solids) will settle on the inside wall of the rotating assembly, while lighter materials (liquids) remain towards the core of the rotating assembly. The internal conveyor (scroll) that is rotating at a slightly different speed moves the settled material up the "beach" of the conical end of the machine towards the discharge ports. Solids are compacted and dewatered by the centrifugal force and released through these ports. Used liquids from the process are released at the opposite end of the machine through adjustable weir plates. | |||
