Machines: Decanter, Separator, Belt press
Decanter
When solid/liquid mixtures with a high portion of solids need to be separated, decanter centrifuges are the solution of choice. In contrast to chamber filter presses, these solid shell scroll centrifuges or decanters operate continuously. High centrifugal forces separate the finely distributed solid particles from the suspension. The basic functional principle of our decanters has been the same for a long time. The centrifugal acceleration separates the solid phase and one or two liquids from each another.
Separator
From algae harvesting to beer clarification and protein extraction: If you want to separate or purify liquids or remove ultra-fine particles you need strong and robust separators. With their enormous centrifugal acceleration of up to over 12,000 g, Flottweg separators are real purification and clarification all-rounders - highest quality made in Germany.
Where decanter centrifuges reach their performance limits, the use of separators begins. Thanks to their high speeds, they are able to optimally process liquids. Clarifiers (2-phase separation), separate the finest solid particles from a liquid. As purification separators (3-phase separators), they separate liquid phases of different densities and simultaneously remove solids.
Belt press
The belt press is used for dewatering pulp, mash or spent grains silage
Anyone who wants to dewater pomace, mash or spent grains silage uses belt presses. They press the last residue out of the solids cake and are easy to maintain, clean and operate thanks to their easily accessible construction. Flottweg belt presses are robust, durable and powerful - quality made in Germany.
Excellent juice quality is essential when processing fruit or vegetables. In order to conserve the valuable ingredients during processing, the raw material must be processed quickly, reliably and hygienically. The Flottweg belt press masters these challenges effortlessly.
