Design and Construction of a Conical Screen Centrifugal Filter for Groundnut Oil Slurry
Journal Title: Leonardo Electronic Journal of Practices and Technologies - Year 2006, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
This work focuses on the design and construction of a conical screen centrifugal filter for the separation of groundnut oil slurry. The major component of the machine is the rotary conical screen which separates the pure groundnut oil from the slurry via centrifugal filtration. Sludge particles were removed from the slurry through the open end of the rotary wide-angle conical screen when the half angle of the cone is greater than the angle of repose of the sludge. From the design analysis and calculation the required half angle and the thickness of the conical screen were found to be 30ยบ and 1mm respectively.
