HILLER DecaPress
Diverse industrial applications demand for efficient
and cost-effective solutions for solid/liquid separating
tasks. Since its invention over 100 years ago the
solid bowl centrifuge, also called a decanter, has
established itself as conventional solution for this
task across many sectors. The majority of these
applications target the separation from the liquid
and solid phase whereby, generally, the least possible
residual moisture is required in the solid phase and
the lowest possible solid particle residues are
required in the separated liquid phase ("the
centrate").
A typical example of this type of two-phase
separation is the dewatering of sludge from
municipal or industrial sewage treatment. In this
case, the residual moisture in the dewatered solids
determines the disposal costs and the centrate
quality determines the pollution load fed back to
the treatment plant. Minimising both must be
achieved at the lowest possible cost, in plain text,
with the lowest possible polymer and energy
consumption, with low maintenance costs and with
the lowest possible number of staff deployed. In
practice, the operator quickly realises that there is
no clearly defined operating point but that daily
and seasonal fluctuations, changes in system intake
or configuration as well as malfunctions of every
sort always present new challenges that must be
met.
This is where the HILLER DecaPress has always
distinguished itself particularly well, as it is very
easy to set up and is extremely robust and stable
in everyday use, without this ease of handling
detracting from the quality of the operating results.

With the development of the new DecaPress,

HILLER has continued this tradition and all aspects
of this new machine generation have been designed
according to the motto "Quality not quantity"!

Innovative, sustainable technology

Design that optimises customer benefits

Sound, high-quality, German machine

technology

Reliable and stable operation in all

situations

Optimal operating results that stand up to

any comparison

This high level of machine technology was achieved

as a result of numerous innovations and improvements that HILLER provided for a group of experts
whose opinions are vital to us: Our Customers.
To do this HILLER made use of all the informations
from customers, regardless of whether they arose
through direct dialogue or were indirectly collected
in form of service reports by HILLER engineers. All
this data had been collected since the market launch
of the first DecaPress in 1999. They now flowed
into the design of the new machine.
That's why the new HILLER DecaPress is PURE
AND PRACTICAL! It offers decanter construction
and practicality at the highest level and is made
specifically for the customer that wants more:

More capacity - but never at the expense of

operating stability

Better separation results - constantly higher

dry substance and clearer centrate at any time
of day and in any season

Genuine peak performance - acceleration

values over 3000 x g and maximum scroll
torque available at any time, for peak loads
and for continuous operation

Lower operating costs - less polymer and

power consumption without affecting the
separation result

Investment without remorse - without any

unpleasant surprises in the maintenance costs
for the entire life of the machine

Optimal service - competent, fair, customeroriented

HILLER SEE-Drive

HILLER SEE-Control

Apart from countless improvements in detail, the

new HILLER DecaPress is distinguished by a
revolutionary drive concept: The HILLER SEE-Drive.

The new HILLER DecaPress is controlled by the

HILLER SEE-Control. This new controller was
developed in house at HILLER and is distinguished
by the following features:

The HILLER SEE-Drive is the first scroll drive that

is constructed stationary on the machine foundation
instead of being carried by the decanter rotor. This
has immediate positive effects with regard to
vibrations, bearing load, longevity, lubricant supply
and, not least, safety. The stationary construction
unlocked design options that lead to a minimisation
of the previously accepted energy loss of
conventional decanter and scroll drive systems. It
enabled splash and rolling losses in the scroll drive
to be eliminated as well as slip losses in the bowl
drive, which no longer has a belt. The HILLER SEEDrive: Stationary and Energy Efficient!

HILLER DecaPress

Maximum quality, manufactured in

Switzerland according to HILLER
specifications

Ultra-fast colour touchpanel, intense colour

and high contrast

Automatic, torque-dependent control of the

differential speed with freely adjustable
control behaviour

Evaluation and actuation of all peripheral

instruments and equipment on the decanter,
e.g. bearing temperature sensors or
lubricant pump

Communication via potential-free signals or

via Profibus DP

With the new DecaPress, SEE-Drive and SEEControl HILLER once again sets the benchmark
for reliability, ease of service, quality and efficiency
in decanter design.
HILLER looks forward to creating your customised
complete solution on this perfect basis, regardless
of whether it's a stationary or mobile installation
on a skid, trailer or in a container. Regardless of
how you want to set up your DecaPress: HILLER
is your partner of choice for reliable and highquality solutions that prove just how good a decanter
can be in practice every single day.
