Centrifuge Equipment for Drilling Fluids | JKZ Professional Manufacturer

Decanter Centrifuge Equipment

Advanced solids control solution for ultra-fine particle separation and drilling fluid conditioning

What is a Decanter Centrifuge?

A decanter centrifuge is a high-speed rotating machine that uses centrifugal force to separate solids from liquids in drilling fluids. It's the final and most precise stage in the solids control process, capable of removing particles as small as 2-7 microns.

JKZ centrifuges are designed with robust construction and advanced features to handle the most demanding drilling applications. Our centrifuges not only remove fine solids but also help control drilling fluid properties by adjusting the liquid/solid balance.

Ultra-Fine Solids Removal

Effectively removes particles in the 2-7 micron range from drilling fluids

High G-Force

Generates up to 3000×g for superior separation efficiency

Variable Speed Control

Adjustable bowl and conveyor speeds for optimal performance

Fluid Property Control

Maintains ideal mud weight and viscosity by removing colloidal solids

Centrifuge Working Principle

How decanter centrifuges separate solids and liquids in drilling fluids

Centrifugal Separation Technology

JKZ decanter centrifuges utilize high-speed rotation to create powerful centrifugal forces that separate solids from liquids based on density differences. The continuous operation allows for efficient processing of large drilling fluid volumes.

The separation process occurs through differential rotation between the bowl and conveyor, enabling continuous solids discharge while maintaining consistent fluid properties.

1

Feed Introduction

Drilling fluid is pumped into the rotating bowl through a stationary feed tube.

2

Acceleration & Separation

The fluid accelerates to bowl speed, creating a liquid pool where centrifugal forces separate solids from liquid.

3

Solids Conveying

A helical conveyor, rotating slightly slower than the bowl, moves separated solids toward the discharge ports.

4

Dual Discharge

Cleaned liquid (centrate) flows over weirs at one end while dewatered solids discharge from the other end.
