ALDEC
High-performance decanter centrifuge
Applications • continuous operation

The ALDEC range of decanter centrifuges was developed with • compact, modular design saves space
a focus on cost-efficiency, reliability and easy operation. The • low installed power reduces electricity consumption.
ALDEC design is used for sludge dewatering in a wide range
of industrial wastewater treatment applications, as well as Working principle
municipal wastewater treatment plants. Separation takes place in a horizontal cylindrical bowl
equipped with a screw conveyor (see drawing on page two).

Process optimization
ALDEC decanter centrifuges can be adjusted to suit specific
requirements by varying
• the bowl speed to obtain the G-force required for the most
efficient separation
• the conveying speed for the most efficient balance
between liquid clarity and solids dryness
• the pond depth in the bowl for the most efficient balance
between liquid clarity and solids dryness
• the feed rate – ALDEC decanter centrifuges are designed
to handle a wide range of different flow rates.
Design
The rotating part of these decanter centrifuges is mounted on
a compact, in-line frame, with main bearings at both ends.
Vibration dampers are placed under the frame. The rotating
part is enclosed in a casing with a cover and a bottom section
with integrated outlets for both solids and the liquid being The Basic Core Controller

a variable frequency drive (VFD) as standard is delivered with

or the difference between the speeds of the bowl and the
conveyor can be controlled automatically, with no need for
changing belts or pulleys.
Materials
The bowl, conveyor, inlet tube, outlets, cover and other parts
in direct contact with process media are all made of stainless
steel. The discharge ports, conveyor flights and feed zone are
protected with materials that are highly resistant to erosion.
The frame is made of mild steel with an epoxy enamel finish.
