Large decanter power savings
Up to 40% less power consumption
New design features for ANDRITZ
SEPARATION D-type decanters ena-
ble significant – up to 40% – reduction
of total power consumption while
maintaining throughput and efficien-
cy. With power costs rising, this level of
power savings translates into a very fast
return on investment. The power-saving
features are available on new D5 to D10
decanters. The TurboJet weir plate is also
offered as a retrofit.
Main benefits ƒƒ The combined effect of these features
ƒƒ A direct drive gearbox for the scroll drive accounts for up to 40% energy savings
reduces the installed power and cuts – reducing the operating costs and total
losses from pulleys, belts, motors, and cost of ownership
variable-frequency drives
ƒƒ A TurboJet weir plate diminishes the
hydraulic power loss from the liquid dis-
charge
ƒƒ The high hydraulic pressure decanter re-
duces power loss from accelerated liquid
and solids

Large decanter power savings
Power-saving features for ANDRITZ D5 to D10 decanters

Compact in-line design

HHP decanter rotor for minimum power loss Direct drive gearbox

HP cone

Optimized feed chamber

TurboJet weir plates

TurboJet weir plate High Hydraulic Pressure Direct drive gearbox

The patented TurboJet weir plate guides
the liquid discharge in the opposite direc-
tion to the bowl rotation. Adjustable nozzles
form a jet similar to a jet engine’s exhaust
and provide a thrust force. This extra force
aids the bowl rotation and reduces power
consumption.
ƒƒ Proven in a variety of applications
ƒƒ Does not affect cake dryness, capture
rate, etc.
ƒƒ Interchangeable nozzles allow fine-tun-
ing for different flow rates
(HHP) decanter
Since power consumption is proportional
to the square of the radius of the port for
discharge of the solids/liquids, reducing
the radius of the discharge ports decreases
the decanter’s specific power consumption
significantly.
ƒƒ Reduces power losses from the acceler-
ated liquid and solids flows
Applying power directly to the decanter’s
scroll drive reduces the installed power and
ƒƒ reduces power losses in motors and
variable-frequency drives
ƒƒ reduces losses from pulleys and belts
ƒƒ lowers maintenance costs because pul-
leys and belt loads are smaller
