    The document summarizes the Foodec 200 decanter centrifuge from Alfa Laval. It is designed for food and beverage applications requiring strict sanitary regulations. Material is separated into a liquid and solid phase or two liquid phases and a solid phase. Key features include cost-effective performance, continuous operation, compact modular design, and plug-and-play installation. Separation occurs within the horizontal cylindrical bowl as centrifugal forces cause solids to sediment on the wall and move toward the conical end via the screw conveyor. Clarified liquid separates from the solids and exits over adjustable dams.
