Centrifuge: LANNER® DS

In the centrifugal drum there is a hydraulically activated sliding floor which moves in an upwards and rotational direction. The continuously fed materials first fall through the inlet funnel into the drum and land in a circle around the base of the drum wall.

The programmed sliding floor pushes the material in set cycles through the specifically designed bar screen integrated into the drum wall.At this point the material is separated into solids and fluids. The dried material is carried over the edge of the drum by the upwards push, bounces off the oil scraper ring on the housing wall and exits the centrifuge down through the tapered chip ejection funnel. The projected fluid flows off to the side along the fixed retaining wall down the diagonally placed outlet gulley under the drum into the adjacent holding tank.Subsequent material and the constant outwards motion of the sliding floor prevents the bar screen from sticking or getting blocked. The centrifuge's self-cleaning concept reduces cleaning work to the absolute minimum.

The sliding technology saves staff having to regularly clean the drums as they normally would. The machine housing stands on several oscillating components which ensure the centrifuge runs quietly.
