The main difference between the Decanter Centrifuge and Centrifuge is given below:-
A Decanter Centrifuge separates solids from one or two liquid phases in one single continuous process. The centrifugal force compacts the solids and expels the surplus liquid. The dried solids then discharge from the bowl. The clarified liquid phase overflow the dam plates situated at the opposite end of the bow.
In Decanter Centrifuge this is done using centrifugal forces that can be well beyond 3000 times greater than gravity. When subject to such forces, the denser solid particles are processed outwards against the rotating bowl wall, while the less dense liquid phase forms a concentric inner layer. Different dam plates are used to vary the depth of the liquid - as required. The sediment formed by the solid particles is continuously removed by the screw conveyor, which rotates at a different speed than the bowl. As a result the solids are gradually ploughed out of the pond and up the conical beach.

exzample by spiining bottles in a machinr
Why do you need a place a second tube into centrifuge?
Balance.
How does a centrifuge work?
Centripetal acceleration is the force inwards on an object moving in a circular motion.A centrifuge uses an acceleration (in terms of g, which is the acceleration due to gravity) that is specified by the user. A centrifuge uses 2 rotors at the same rotational speed but with different diameters to create 2 different accelerations.Particles of different masses will separate in the centrifuge because they move at different speeds due to acceleration.
Do bowl and conveyor rotates in same direction in decanter centrifuge?
yes

What is the base for separating mixtures using a centrifuge?
This procedure is based onto the difference between components densities.

Is there a special kind of decanter for rum?
Rum doesn't have a special decanter, but a wine decanter will do in a pinch.
What is the difference between plasma and whole blood?
There is an interesting relationship between plasma and whole blood. Whole blood contains plasma but plasma does not contain whole blood.
How do you spell decanter?
That is the correct spelling of decanter (liquid container).
Instrument used to separtate cell parts according to density is the?
That sounds like density centrifugation...So, a centrifuge?
What are the parts of a centrifuge and their functions?
A centrifuge has holes to insert the centrifuge tubes in, a cap to secure the tubes inside, and a lid to protect both the samples and experimenter in case of malfunction. There is also typically a way to set the centrifuge speed and a power switch to turn the centrifuge on and off.
Who developed the centrifuge?
Antonin Prandtl, however Gustof de Laval invented the first "Modern" centrifuge. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifuge
How motor in centrifuge works?
centrifuge is a system which is used to separate the water from the diesel.
