LW / LWX / LWS / LWFX / LWZPROCESS DIFFERENCES
What makes this category different?
Clarify the outlet objective
Define solids capture, centrate clarity and cake dryness together. Optimizing one result can move the others; a balanced test report is more useful than a standalone maximum flow rate.
Control the scroll load
The scroll conveys settled solids out of the rotating bowl. Differential speed, torque, pond depth and feed conditions interact, so control philosophy belongs in the equipment discussion.
Select the actual configuration
The LW family includes LW, LWX, LWS, LWFX and LWZ variants. Two-phase, three-phase and specialized duties require the correct internal arrangement and liquid outlets.
Compare this range
Start with the separation duty.
| Series | Technology | Start with the separation duty. |
|---|---|---|
| LW / LWX / LWS / LWFX / LWZ | Decanter centrifuges | Sludge, chemical slurries, food streams, mineral suspensions and other materials with a separable density difference. |
Catalogue reference data. Final configuration, capacity and performance depend on the material and agreed operating conditions.
APPLICATION FIT
Shortlist with a clear process basis.
Use solid-bowl sedimentation where density difference and settling behaviour make separation feasible. A decanter and a disc-stack separator are different technologies; compare the required separation duty before substituting one for the other.
