Efficient upcycling: Valuable raw material extraction from used cooking oil
The recycled and processed used cooking oils serve as raw materials used in the production of biodiesel, hydrogenated vegetable oils (HVO), and technical fats. Used cooking oils, such as frying fat, cooking fat, or the contents of grease separators, sometimes contain significant amounts of undesirable foreign materials.
Together with our customers, Flottweg works to develop individual complete solutions for the recycling of used cooking and frying oil. The Flottweg Tricanter® is the focus here: It separates the unwanted solid particles from the fat in just one step.

A real alternative: Protein extraction from insects
Creating valuable raw materials from maggots, flies, and mealworms is already a recognized and innovative way of accessing alternative sources of protein. Producers are expected to achieve efficiency and a high degree of purity in the end product. The processing of different insects, the processing temperatures, or the condition of the insects can make it difficult to achieve these objectives.
Flottweg’s three-phase centrifuge—the Tricanter®—is being used to simplify the processing of insects with centrifuges. The Tricanter® makes it possible to separate insects into different pure phases (fat, protein water, and solids) in one step.

The Flottweg Tricanter® for efficient three-phase separation
2 in 1
Thanks to the Tricanter®, both purchasing and operating costs can be reduced. The reason for this: The Tricanter® combines two separation steps in one process step.
Customization
Our industrial centrifuges can be optimally adapted to every process. Only when all components are perfectly matched can we achieve the best possible results.
High product quality and process reliability
Thanks to the impeller's precise adjustability, the separation result can be optimally adapted to customer requirements, even under fluctuating feed concentration. What’s more: Due to our impeller's high degree of flexibility, time-consuming and cost-intensive conversions are also avoided.
Fully automatic 24/7 operation
Our machines are ideally equipped for round-the-clock operation. The easy operation and automatability of the Tricanter® also mean less staff is required and easy integration of the machine into the overall process.
