Why does the discharge port of the centrifuge get clogged so often?

The discharge port of the centrifuge is constantly clogged; two hammers have been installed, but it still doesn’t work. I can’t post the Youku video link: http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMzYzNTY3ODM1Ng==.html?spm=a2h3j.8428770.3416059.1 http://player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XMzYzNTY3ODM1Ng==/v.swf http://player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XMzYzNTY3ODM1Ng==/v.swf
Why can’t I post the Youku video? It’s frustrating. http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMzYzNTY3ODM1Ng==.html?spm=a2h3j.8428770.3416059.1
Our centrifuge uses a screw-driven discharge system for discharging the material, and it basically doesn’t get clogged
What kind of centrifuge is being used currently??? That website won’t open
Two hammers have already been installed – what does that mean? Take a look at the image above
It’s because you didn’t control the salt concentration during discharge; if it’s too thick, blockages are likely to occur. You need to check the solid-liquid ratio, take samples at the discharge point or elsewhere and let them sit for about 15 minutes. Generally, a concentration of over 25% is sufficient to feed the material into the centrifuge
Use a hammer to strike the pipeline at the feed inlet of the centrifuge in order to clear it
Solid-liquid slurries tend to clog quite easily; after being shut down for a while, they are even more prone to clogging. In particular, salts whose solubility decreases as temperature drops are more likely to cause blockages due to the cooling of the output stream. Therefore, try to feed material continuously; if feeding is intermittent, it is essential to perform steam backwashing occasionally before feeding, and this method should be more effective than using a hammer. Sometimes, the discharge port or plate at the outlet of the centrifuge can also experience blockage, and the reasons for this are similar.
