Horizontal Decanter Centrifuge Machine

Fat Rendering Machine Rendering Plant Separation Horizontal Decanter Centrifuge

The Liande continuous horizontal centrifuge delivers uninterrupted solid–liquid separation for rendering, fat recovery, and industrial processing. Designed for high-volume plants running 24/7, this horizontal decanter centrifuge combines stainless steel construction, energy-efficient torque control, and a low-maintenance modular design for reliable performance across food, chemical, and wastewater sectors.

How the Decanter Centrifuge Works

Our centrifuge applies centrifugal force to achieve uninterrupted separation:

Feed Zone

Raw material enters the rotating bowl.

Separation Zone

Centrifugal force separates solids from clarified liquid.

Scroll Conveyor

Differential speed moves solids toward discharge.

Discharge

Liquids and solids are removed continuously for efficient operation.

Horizontal Centrifuge vs. Vertical Centrifuge


A horizontal centrifuge positions its rotating bowl on a horizontal axis, enabling continuous simultaneous discharge of separated solids and clarified liquid. Feed enters one end, an internal scroll conveyor moves solids toward the discharge port, and clarified liquid exits continuously from the opposite end — with no interruption to production.


A vertical centrifuge mounts the bowl on a vertical axis and typically operates in batch mode: material is loaded, the bowl accelerated, separation completed, and the bowl decelerated and discharged before the next cycle begins.

Feature Horizontal Centrifuge Vertical Centrifuge
Operation mode Continuous Batch
Throughput High Limited by batch size
Solid discharge Automatic via internal scroll Manual or automated peeling
Typical applications Rendering, sludge dewatering, food processing, chemicals Pharmaceuticals, lab separation, crystallization
Automation compatibility High — integrates with plant PLC and SCADA Moderate
Labor per unit volume Low Higher

How to Select the Right Horizontal Decanter Centrifuge

Four parameters determine the correct model for your process:

  • Feed volume and solids loading — Higher throughput or heavy solids concentration requires a larger bowl diameter and higher main drive power (up to 132 kW).
  • Required dryness of discharged solids — Rendering meal and sludge dewatering applications requiring dry cake output benefit from adjustable differential scroll speed and a steeper beach angle.
  • Liquid clarity target — Fine particle separation (pharmaceutical, beverage) needs G-force of 2,500–3,000 × g. Standard rendering, food, and sludge applications typically operate efficiently at 1,500–2,500 × g.
  • Operating environment and compliance — Continuous 24/7 food or rendering lines require SS316L wetted parts and sealed enclosures. Chemical or pharmaceutical duties may require ATEX certification.

Contact our technical team with your feed composition, target throughput (m³/h), and minimum dryness requirement to receive a model recommendation.

Operation & Maintenance Guide



  • Start-Up Checklist

    Verify feed lines, lubrication systems, and safety interlocks before operation.

  • Routine Maintenance

    Schedule lubrication, balance checks, and wear-part inspections to maintain long service intervals.

  • Troubleshooting

    Integrated diagnostics assist in identifying vibration, torque imbalance, or feed fluctuation, with clear solutions.

  • Safety Guidelines

    Enclosures, overload protection, and operator training ensure safe, consistent performance in demanding environments.

What is a continuous horizontal centrifuge?
A continuous horizontal centrifuge is a decanter-type machine that separates solids from liquids without stopping between cycles. The rotating bowl and internal scroll conveyor discharge separated solids and clarified liquid simultaneously, enabling round-the-clock operation — making it the preferred choice for high-volume rendering, food processing, and wastewater treatment applications.
What industries use a decanter centrifuge?
It is widely applied in rendering, food processing, chemical plants, wastewater treatment, and pharmaceutical industries for solid–liquid separation.
How does a horizontal decanter centrifuge differ from a vertical centrifuge?
A horizontal decanter centrifuge continuously discharges solids and liquids, making it more suitable for high-volume operations compared to batch-type vertical units.
What maintenance is required?
Routine lubrication, periodic replacement of wear parts, and balancing checks ensure the centrifuge remains in peak condition with minimal downtime.
How to select the right centrifuge size?
Selection depends on feed composition, desired throughput, and the dryness level of discharged solids. Our team provides technical support to match the right model to your process.
