Used Dorr-Oliver 16L Stainless Steel Decanter Centrifuge – 4,000 RPM

Manufacturer Information

Dorr-Oliver is an established name in industrial solid-liquid separation and process equipment, historically associated with centrifuges, filtration, clarification, and dewatering technologies. Dorr-Oliver decanter centrifuges are used in industrial processing applications requiring continuous separation of suspended solids from liquid streams.

Main Product Description

Used Dorr-Oliver Model 16L horizontal solid bowl decanter centrifuge with 316 stainless steel product-contact construction, designed for continuous solid-liquid separation, slurry clarification, solids concentration, and mechanical dewatering of compatible industrial process materials. This industrial decanter centrifuge features a maximum bowl operating speed of 4,000 RPM and incorporates a 5" double-lead internal screw conveyor with welded hardfacing for increased wear resistance during solids transport and discharge. The unit includes auger-style solids discharge ports for separated solids removal and adjustable liquid plate dams for controlling liquid discharge conditions and separation performance. Additional components include a stainless steel coffin-style casing, Cyclo gearbox, supporting base, and main drive guard. Suitable for consideration in industrial wastewater treatment, sludge thickening and dewatering, chemical slurry separation, mineral processing, pigment production, specialty chemical manufacturing, and other compatible solid-liquid separation applications. Manufactured by Dorr-Oliver, Model 16L, Serial #CH34311SN10MC8.
