Rotary Drum Separator

Rotary Drum Separator – High-Efficiency Solid-Liquid Separation Equipment

Yuxing's YXXTFL-700 Rotary Drum Separator offers high-performance, 30-40m³/h manure treatment capacity, and over 90% solid interception rate. A 700mm inner diameter drum and 201 stainless steel structure make this backwashing drum microfiltration device decrease effluent solids to less than 10%.

Four specialised motors—2.2kW cleaning pump, 5.5kW extrusion motor, 3kW drum motor, and 4kW sewage cutting pump—are controlled by the integrated frequency converter control system for continuous, automated operation This device offers comprehensive solutions for livestock waste management, biogas plant pretreatment, and organic fertiliser manufacturing lines with compact dimensions of 3000×2200×2000mm and adjustable moisture control (40%-60%).

How It Works

The product uses a four-stage continuous process to maximise separation efficiency and save maintenance.

Stage 1: Material Intake and Pre-Screening

The sewage cutting pump cuts up huge clumps of raw manure slurry before putting it into the revolving drum. The 3kW motor spins the drum at preset rates, distributing material uniformly across the microfiltration screen.

Stage 2: Microfiltration and Solid Capture

While rotating, liquid flows through the 700mm perforated screen and particles build on the drum's inner surface. For full separation, the 1.8-meter drum length allows gravity and rotating force to work together.

Stage 3: Backwashing Self-Cleaning

The 2.2kW cleaning pump sprays high-pressure water from the drum out at specified intervals. Backwashing avoids screen blinding and maintains filtration with high-fiber or sticky materials.

Stage 4: Solid Extrusion and Discharge

Captured solids travel toward extrusion on the 8mm screw blade. To obtain 40%-60% moisture before discharge, the 5.5kW extrusion motor powers the 230mm inner diameter extrusion screen to compress particles through an 800mm chamber.

Key Technical Advantages

Advanced Material Construction

Acidic manure chemicals don't corrode the 1.5mm 201 stainless steel drum outer box. This sturdy design can survive hard farming conditions without breaking down.

Intelligent Control System

Your stainless steel automated distribution box with frequency converter precisely adjusts rotation speed, backwashing intervals, and extrusion pressure. This automation optimises feedstock-based separation performance and lowers human involvement.

High-Capacity Processing

This device can process 30-40m³/h, making it ideal for medium to large-scale livestock farms. The continuous-feed architecture minimises batch processing delays and connects with waste management systems.

Technical Specifications

Diverse Application Scenarios

Livestock Farm Waste Management

Dairy, pig, and poultry farms benefit from rapid processing of high-volume manure slurries. The backwashing feature prevents clogging from feathers, hair, and undigested feed particles commonly found in animal waste.

Biogas Plant Pretreatment

Before anaerobic digestion, removing excessive solids protects downstream equipment and improves biogas yield. Your separated liquid fraction flows smoothly through pipelines without settling issues.

Organic Fertilizer Production

Separated solids at 40%-60% moisture content are ideal for composting operations. This moisture range accelerates aerobic fermentation while eliminating the energy costs of over-drying.

Industrial Wastewater Treatment

Food processing plants, breweries, and chemical facilities use rotary drum separators to recover valuable byproducts and reduce suspended solids before biological treatment stages.

Global Compliance and Customization

CE certification and ISO quality standards ensure regulatory compliance. Voltage adaptation, PLC programming, and multi-language HMI interfaces are customized for your specific location and operational requirements.

Maintenance and Longevity

Your product requires minimal maintenance when operated within design parameters. Quarterly inspections focus on bearing lubrication, screen wear assessment, and drive system alignment.

The modular design allows quick replacement of wearing parts without specialized tools. We maintain comprehensive spare parts inventory including screens, seals, and electrical components for immediate shipment worldwide.

Our frequency converter system provides soft-start capability, reducing mechanical stress during daily startup cycles. This extends bearing life and prevents shock loads on the drive train.

FAQ

Q: How does backwashing reduce fibrous screen clogging?

A: The 2.2kW cleaning pump shoots high-pressure water jets into the drum to remove fibres before they form clogs. Cleaning frequency is optimised by automated interval scheduling depending on feedstock parameters.

Q: How long will the microfiltration screen last?

A: Operating hours and material abrasiveness affect screen life. Stainless steel screens last 3,000–5,000 hours with careful backwashing.

Q: Can moisture content be adjusted after installation?

A: The frequency converter adjusts extrusion pressure and drum rotation speed in real time. Adjusting these values on the control panel controls discharge moisture between 40%-60%.

Q: How are solid discharge dust emissions handled?

A: Our enclosed discharge chute reduces airborne particulates. We provide dust extraction ports that link to your facility's collection system for better dust management.

Q: How often should the drive system be maintained?

A: Monthly visual checks check belt tension and alignment. Quarterly trunnion bearing lubrication ensures smooth operation. Electrical connection and control system calibration are included in annual thorough examinations.
