The new CQ7000 decanter from Centriquip meets the demands of the water industry for high throughput dewatering equipment. The CQ7000 is new from Centriquip and is a development of the trusted CQ3000, CQ5000 and CQ6000 range. The new decanter has been developed specifically for the waste water and sewage market that requires the high throughput of 80 cubic metres/hour for dewatering and 120 cubic metres/hour for thickening offered by the CQ7000.

John Ball, Director of Centriquip, said that the benefits to the customer are those of cost and space saving.

'The CQ7000 doesn't take up much more space than the smaller machines but has a much greater throughput.

It is also less expensive, pro rata, than its predecessors'.

John also explained that companies using these high volume machines would do so only if the volumes being processed required multiple machines.

'Companies wouldn't have one large machine instead of two small ones as this reduces the operational flexibility,' he explained: 'But to have five CQ7000 machines instead of say ten CQ5000 makes lots of sense'.

Centriquip is the largest UK manufacturer of decanter centrifuges.

The company also has the ability to service and repair any make of decanter, often more efficiently, and at lower cost than the original supplier.
