The Bird 24 x 38 decanter centrifuge, 304 SS. is engineered for optimal performance in the separation of solids from liquids, making it an essential tool for various industrial applications. With a maximum bowl speed of 2400 RPM, this centrifuge is capable of efficiently processing materials, ensuring a high degree of separation and clarity in the output. The 9-degree beach angle enhances the sedimentation process, allowing for effective solid-liquid separation while minimizing the risk of carryover. The robust 3-inch double lead hardsurfaced conveyor is designed to handle abrasive materials, ensuring longevity and reliability during operation. The PA-69 40:1 gearbox, complete with a protective guard and feed tube, provides the necessary torque and stability for consistent performance, although it is important to note that this unit does not include a motor, allowing for flexibility in motor selection based on specific operational requirements.

This decanter centrifuge is a vintage model from 1972, yet it remains in very good condition, having undergone rigorous non-destructive testing (NDT) inspections. The bowl, heads, and trunnions have all passed these inspections, affirming their structural integrity and readiness for continued use in demanding environments. While the conveyor does exhibit approximately 30 spots that require weld repair, this is a common aspect of equipment that has been in operation and can be addressed to restore optimal functionality. The stainless steel construction not only provides excellent corrosion resistance but also facilitates easy cleaning and maintenance, making it suitable for industries such as PVC processing where hygiene and material purity are paramount. Overall, the Bird 24 x 38 decanter centrifuge is a reliable choice for businesses looking to enhance their material separation processes with a durable and efficient piece of equipment.
