BTPX 71 0 - Sterilizable and fully contained separator module Solids ejecting centrifuge Applications The BTPX 710 module is based on the solids-ejecting centrifuge BTPX 710SGD-34CDP in clarifier excution. It is equipped with a double axial spindle seal and timer-triggered solids discharge. It is used for removing suspended solids with particle sizes from approximately 0.5 to 500 um from a liquid having a lower spcifie gravity than the solids. The solids content in the feed is normally in the range of 0.1 -10 % by volume. The main applications are bacteria, rDNA products, enzymes, growth factors, cell cultures and vaccines Sp驩cial features The BTPX 710 has a timer-triggered partial discharge System, meaning that only part of the bowl content is emptied during discharge. The discharge takes place at full speed without any interruption of the feed. The inlet of the separator is equipped with wing type distributor or a low shear disk inlet, which enables sparation of products with foaming tendency or high sensitivity to shear. The flanged motor is direct coupled to the drive System. The drive System is splash lubricated without any need for an external lubrication circuit. AH product wetted surfaces are in high grade stainless steel with a standard surface finish of less then 1.2 micron Ra. Finer finish is available on demand. The bowl casing, cyclone and cooling jackets are pressured rated to 3 bar. The Separator can be steam sterilised up to 1300. The separator can be mounted in a fully contuined System with no risk for product or enviromental contamination. The built-in paring dise for the liquid phase limin驢tes the need for an external pump. The machine is equipped with nozzles for flushing above the bowl and in the sdiment outlet. Fig 1. BTPX 710 Module Standard design AH liquid-wetted parts are in high-grade stainless steel and liquid-wetted rubber gaskets in FDA approved EPDM. The centrifuge is available with main connections as sanitary flanges and ail other utility connections clamp type. The centrifuge can be equipped with sensors for monitoring vibration level, and a cover switch to be used for preventing the motor from being started unless the centrifuge top part has been properly mounted. The centrifuge is equipped with anchoring feet and vibration dampers.
