A clear matter

Centrifuge for clarifying liquids

Clarifiers are called for wherever liquids have to be clarified or finest solids separated from a liquid, (2-phase Separators, Clarifiers). With product features optimally matched to the clarification process, Flottweg clarifiers also extract the rest of the solids from the liquid phase.

The self-emptying 2-phase separators can be adapted to the product to be processed. Together with the optimized disc stack and the large clarifying area of the bowl, the special features of the Flottweg separator ensure efficient separation of solids. Thanks to the Flottweg proprietary discharge system, the solids are discharged quietly - eliminating a loud discharge noise.

How the Flottweg Separator works

The product to be clarified runs through a stationary inlet pipe into the interior of the bowl and is gently accelerated to full speed by the distributor. The disc stack in the bowl divides the product stream into many thin layers, thus creating a large surface area. The solid matter is separated from the liquid within the disc stack.

Due to the strong centrifugal force, the separated solids settle at the edge of the bowl. The separated solids are expelled periodically at full speed by a hydraulic system located in the lower part of the bowl. The clarified liquid flows from the disc stack to a peeling disk and is discharged under pressure via this disk.
