TUBULAR-BOWL
Tubular-bowl centrifuges are sedimentation centrifuges. They can be used to separate both solid/liquid and liquid/liquid mixtures.

GENERAL INFORMATION

In tubular-bowl centrifuges, feed enters from the bottom of the cylindrical bowl. A distributor and baffle assembly accelerates the incoming liquid to rotor speed. Then, a baffle separates the feed into its components (two liquid layers for liquid/liquid separations, or solid and liquid layers for solid/liquid separations). The outer layer, which consists of the heavier components, becomes concentrated against the wall, while the inner layer, which consists of thelighter components, floats on top.

EQUIPMENT DESIGN

Tubular-bowl centrifuges generally consist of a bowl, a motor, and a drive assembly. The bowl is suspended from an upper bearing and hangs freely. This allows the bowl to find its natural axis of rotation if it becomes unbalanced. The discharge ports at the top of the bowl are located at different radii and elevations depending on the properties of the components to be separated. The picture below shows the upper bearing suspending the bowl as well as a discharge port. The inner bowl in tubular-bowl centrifuges can range in capacity from 1 to 15 gallons, and can handle up to 1200 gal/hr of feed. Tubular-bowl centrifuges can be outfitted with a knife discharge system, which mechanically removes any built up solids within the bowl. Shown below is the feed inlet into the bowl of a tubular centrifuge.

USAGE EXAMPLES

Tubular-bowl centrifuges have a wide range of uses in industry. A typical application is the purification of lubricating industrial oils containing 1% or less of sedimentable solids.

Tubular-bowl centrifuges also see much use in the food, biochemical, and pharmaceutical industries. The picture below to the left is an example of a laboratory scale tubular centrifuge that is powered by a single-phase motor. These centrifuges can be powered with electric motors, steam turbines or compressed air. The picture to the right is an example of tubular centrifuge used in industry.
ADVANTAGES : Can be used for both liquid/liquid and solid/liquid separations DISADVANTAGES : Foaming of liquids may occur

Working principle of tubular bowl centrifuge:


When the tubular bowl centrifuge works, the motor passes the dynamic force to the driven wheel through driving strap and tension pulley, thus for the bowl to rotate around its own axis at high speed, forming a strong centrifugal force field. The material is injected inside from the liquid inlet on the bottom.

The centrifugal force compels the material liquid to flow upwards along the inner wall of bowl, and the liquid phase of large density is formed into outer ring and the liquid phase of small density is shaped into inner ring, to flow to the top of bowl, to be discharged out from their respective liquid outlets. The micro solids settle on the wall of the bowl and are to be manually discharged after the machine is shut down.

Tubular Bowl Centrifuges have two types: GF Tubular Bowl Centrifuge and GQ Tubular Bowl Centrifuge.

GF Tubular Bowl Centrifuge

is used for liquid-liquid separation and liquidliquid-solid separation. 1.Specifications


1.Tubular Centrifuge 2.Diesel centrifuge 3.Tubular centrifuge separator 4.Solid bowl centrifuge

2.Specifications 1.High speed 16000r/min 2.Liquid liquid solid separating 3.Emulsion 4.Tubuar type centrifuge

GF: It is used for separating various emulsion, especially adaptable for liquid-liquid separation, such as separation of various oil and micropowder, extract liquid from plants, separation of plasma and cell.

1.High speed 13000- 19000rpm 2.Tubular type centrifuge 3.Industrial centrifuge 4.Capacity from 50L/H1000L/H

GQ Tubular Bowl Centrifuge

GQ Tubular Bowl Centrifuge is for solidliquid separation.


OPERATION: Centrifugal force cause suspended solids to migrate to the centrifuge bowl wall where they are retained. As the fluid travels up through the bowl, solids eventually migrate to the wall and the clarified fluid is discharged through the top center of the bowl. FLOW: Fluid flow in and out of the centrifuge is contin uous while the solids are collected on the tube wall in a batchwise manner.

The tubular bowl centrifuge GQ105N is mainly used in liquid-liquid-solid or liquid-liquid separation in bio-pharmacy &bio-chemical, beverage &food, pharmaceutical, chemical industry. It is an ideal separation equipment by centrifuging, especially for those feeding with little gravity difference, and small dimension in diameter. The minimum diameter of dissociative granule is 0.5 micron or below
