The Dewaterer is a rotating assembly that uses centrifugal force to separate solids from liquids. Because the solids and liquids of the material fed into the dewatering system have different specific gravities, the high speed rotating action of the centrifuge causes them to settle concentrically at different levels in the rotating assembly of the centrifuge. The material with the higher specific gravity (solids) will settle on the inside wall of the rotating assembly, while the lighter material (liquids) remain towards the core of the rotating assembly.

The internal conveyor (scroll), which is rotating at a slightly different speed, moves the settled material up the beach of the conical end of the machine towards the discharge ports. Solids are compacted and dewatered by the centrifugal force and released through these ports. The liquid phase of the process is released at the opposite end of the machine through adjustable weir plates.
