Westfalia Separator ®
Decanter UCF 406: efficiency included
Technical Data
All advantages at a glance
Frame, hood and drive
The decanter UCF 406 from GEA Westfalia
Separator is a continuously operating
centrifuge with horizontal solid-wall bowl
developed specifically for the require-
ments for dewatering industrial and
municipal sewage sludges. The frame is
of open design with gravity discharge of
the clarified phase.
Features
All product-contacting parts are
made of stainless CrNiMo steel
Deep pond design: ratio solids
discharge to bowl inner diameter
DFa / DTr = 0.46
Minimal power consumption
(e. g. 0.7 kWh / m3 at 30 m3 / h)
Highest g-force for maximum The scroll can be operated also with
dewatering stationary bowl
Innovative adjustable scroll drive Gentle feed geometry for optimum
with the following features: flocculation and low wear
- Planetary gear with patented Maximum dewatering due to the
kinematics for high differential deep pond design and highest g-force
speeds and torques Low space requirement
- High efficiency of the drive since Good accessibility to all components
the variable speed motor feeds in Easy to operate and maintain
energy and does not brake
- Very sensitive regulation of the
torque, even with fluctuating feed
conditions
- Automatic adjustment of the
differential speed due to the
frequency-controlled variable
speed motor
