variations and materials of construction enable individual process requirements to be closely matched.
The DH5 and DHL Nozljectors are suspended-bowl,
top-driven, bottom-fed models that are available in
pressurized as well as standard construction. The
DH5 offers high capacity to over 30,000 gallons per
hour, while the DHL is well suited to pilot plant or
continuous commercial production. The DH2 and
DH3 Nozljectors are bottom-driven, top-fed models
that provide intermediate capacities. The DH-1500
is a bottom-driven model designed specifically as a
self-contained high-efficiency purifier for oils.
All models except the DH-1500 Purifier, which uses
a special oil purification bowl, are available with
SOLIDS bowls specially designed for separation, clarification
or controlled solids concentration. Processing begins
at the bottom of each bowl, where the feed liquid is
accelerated to bowl speeds. (In top-fed Nozljectors,
the feed is led to the bottom of the bowl through a
hollow center tube, as illustrated at left.)

practically impossible to achieve by any other means
solids concentration can be varied for a given constant feed rate; solids concentration can be held
constant regardless of changes in feed concentration; nozzle size can be varied widely to handle
particles of various sizes and obtain desired solids

LF-BALANCING BOWL
0e DHL also features Sharpies exclusive "Plumb
Bob" bowl suspension. This suspension enables the
bowlwhich rotates on a vertical axisto seek its
own center of mass continuously during operation. Load imbalances, such as those caused by
variations in the feed, are automatically absorbed
and compensated for by this smooth shift in the
bowl's axis of rotation. The result is a self-balancing
bowl that operates with minimum vibration and
bearing wear, and handles higher throughput per
unit of power.
OPERATIONAL FEATURD.,.
The bowl of the DHL rotates at speeds of up to
10,000 RPM (depending on the material of construction), producing separating forces of up to
14,000 times the force of gravity. These extremely
high forces enable the DHL to process a wide variety
of materials efficiently and economically. .As in all

No balancing weights are used on the bowl of any
Sharpies centrifuge. Positive dynamic balance is
obtained by grinding specially-built outside shoulders without sacrificing structural strength. In
addition, greater weight at the outside of the
bowl minimizes the effect of any in balances in the
bowl during processing. All parts of the bowl are
keyed so that balance is automatically maintained
every time the bowl is re-assembled.

The cover assembly of the DH-2 can be disassembled in only a few minutes without using a single
tool. All that is necessary is to loosen the wing-type
cover clamp nuts provided for the cover lid and
upper cover, and the hand-wheel clamps of the
lower cover. Hinged-type clamps minimize the
possibility of misplaced parts. There is no possibility of sludge discharge seeping into the base
of the centrifugethis is prevented by a deepchanneled cover base with high inside splash
guard, extending up to just below the nozzles.

Si-IARPLES
The interface can easily be kept in the proper position even when variations in the specific gravity of
the feed would ordinarily cause it to change. Compensation for changes in specific gravity of as much
as 4 or 5 API numbers is easily accomplished from
outside of the centrifuge, without disturbing operation, by merely changing the temperature of the
recycle water or by adding a chemical such as salt.
There is no need to change ring dams, to make
other internal adjustment or to shut down for
other reason. This is made possible by the fact that
most of the recycle water is not in contact with the
oil. The temperature of the recycle water is therefore
practically unaffected by the temperature of the oil.

If a conventional separator
bowl is used for oil purification, oil and water layers
are hydrostatically balanced. Oil layer is shallow,
sharply reducing bowl

to break emulsions.

Sharpies Gravitrol system keeps interface in constant location outside disc stack for greater emulsion-breaking ability
and bowl capacity. Discharge is oil-free. Note that actual
separating capacity in centrifugal oil purification is roughly
proportional to the cube of the interface radius. If the radius
is increased from 6 to 9 inches, for example, this 50% increase in distance results in a 338% increase in separating
efficiency! This illustrates the great benefit of keeping the
interface as far as possible from the center line of
the centrifuge.
