Decanters experience heavy wear due to the abrasive particles in the media. Hyperion supplies cemented carbide (also known as solid carbide or tungsten carbide (WC)) tiles that act as a wear barrier and help extend the operating life of the screw while reducing maintenance costs.
In order to separate high density from low density particles, centrifuge systems operate at high centrifugal forces (up to 10,000 G). This challenges the mechanical material properties of the media, which is oftentimes highly corrosive. Hyperion cemented carbide wear parts withstand such demanding working conditions, helping to discharge the heavy solids via cemented carbide nozzles.
