HAUS – separators and decanters
Country: Turkey
Year of foundation: 1954
Type of equipment: Processing
Industries: Dairy products, oils, juices and beverages, wastewater treatment, chemicals, shipping
HAUS separators and decanters are centrifuges from the Turkish manufacturer HAUS Centrifuge Technologies for separating liquids and solids: disc stack separators for milk, oils, juices and marine fuel, and decanter centrifuges for sludge dewatering, food and industrial processes. Steiner Ukraine supplies HAUS equipment, selects the model for the product and capacity, and carries out installation, commissioning and service.
Who manufactures HAUS separators and decanters?
The company was founded in 1954 in Aydın (Türkiye) under the name Hakkı Usta; the name HAUS is formed from the first letters of that name. According to the manufacturer, the company has produced decanter centrifuges since 1989 and disc stack separators since 2000. The headquarters and production are located in the organised industrial zone of Aydın; another production facility is HAUS ITALIA s.r.l. in Italy.
What is the difference between a separator and a decanter?
| Parameter | Disc stack separator | Decanter |
|---|---|---|
| Drum | with a disc stack | horizontal, with a scroll conveyor |
| Separation | solid — liquid, liquid — liquid, solid — liquid — liquid | solid — liquid (2 phases), solid — liquid — liquid (3 phases) |
| Solids discharge | periodic, partial or total | continuous, by scroll |
| Typical task | clarification, purification, concentration of liquids with a low solids content | separation and dewatering of a significant amount of solids |

FAQ
How to choose between a separator and a decanter?
The choice depends on the content and size of solid particles, the density difference between phases and the required result. A decanter is designed for continuous discharge of a significant amount of solids, a separator for clarifying liquids with a lower solids content. In one line they can be installed in series.
What is needed to select the equipment?
Product description, flow rate, solids concentration, temperature and required phase quality. The need for polymers and other reagents is determined by the manufacturer through laboratory tests.
How much do HAUS separators and decanters cost?
The price is calculated on request. It depends on the series, size, materials and configuration.
