The invention discloses a horizontal screw centrifuge. A spiral conveyor is located in a rotary drum shell, a feeding pipe is in communication with an inner pipe of the spiral conveyor, a dischargingport is formed in the inner pipe, spiral blades are fixed to the periphery of the inner pipe, a light phase outlet is located in an end cover on one side of the rotary drum shell, an isolation disc ofa disc system is arranged between the spiral blade at the tail end of the spiral conveyor and the light phase outlet, the isolation disc is fixed to the spiral conveyor, a flow channel is formed in the side, close to the inner pipe, of the isolation disc, and a solid phase channel is formed between the isolation disc and the inner wall of the rotary drum; and the disc system is positioned betweenthe isolation disc and the light phase outlet, and is fixed with the rotary drum. The disc system is additionally arranged between the rotary drum shell close to the light phase outlet and the innerpipe, tiny solid particles are rapidly separated from a liquid phase, the content of the tiny solid particles in a liquid is greatly reduced, and therefore final clear liquid with higher purity can beobtained, filtering treatment of the tiny solid particles does not need to be carried out in the later procedure, and the centrifuge capability of the centrifuge is increased.
