Flottweg Separators

Flottweg three-phase decanter, Z4D-3/441, last used in a fruit juice plant. Inner drum diameter: 420 mm Inner drum length: 1245 mm Drum wall thickness: 10 mm The medium to be separated is fed into the hollow center axis of the decanter. Centrifugal force causes the solids to collect on the drum shell. A cylindrical-conical screw conveyor transports the ring of solids to the discharge openings, where it is ejected into the solids housing. The two liquid components separate according to their specific density and form two hollow liquid cylinders. The diameter of the liquid rings can be adjusted using a peeling disc and overflow weir. One of the two phases is discharged without pressure and one is discharged under pressure via the paring disc. The moisture content of the solids and the purity of the liquids can be controlled by: - Varying the phase separation discs and paring diameter - Decanter speed - Screw speed, Additional title: 3-phase decanter, Capacity: 1500 l/h, Max. bowl speed: 4000 r/min, Max. sediment-density: 1 g/cm³, Mass moment of inertia: 15.5 kgm² with an empty drum, Weight: 2250 kg, Material: housing from stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304); drum made of high-strength cast stainless steel 1.4463, Position: free standing, Base construction: Horizontal decanter drum in steel frame, on square tube frame with dome feet, Features: Base with rubber mountings, electric motor (Loher 180 M, 22 kW)
