How does a GEA Westfalia 3-phase Disc Stack Centrifugal Separator work? (Purification)

In this animation, GEA Westfalia Separator illustrates the operating principle of its 3-phase disc stack centrifugal separators. The purifying centrifugal separator is a machine that separates two liquids of different densities. Solids may also be separated simultaneously. 0:00 How does a GEA Westfalia 3-phase disc stack centrifugal separator (purifier) work? 0:02 Working principle of GEA Westfalia 3-phase disc stack centrifugal separator 0:07 Hood with bowl inside (identified) 0:10 Solids catcher (identified) 0:11 Integrated direct drive with electrical motor (identified) 0:19 High-speed rotating bowl with disk stack inside 0:26 Bowl disc stack is equivalent to a clarification area the size of up to 80 soccer fields (80 football fields) 0:40 Purification (liquid/liquid/solid separation) illustration 0:45 Feed (identified) 0:50 Case 1: Water purification.
