SUCCESS IS … PROFITING FROM TECHNOLOGY Flottweg corn oil Tricanters® are the key to greater profitability in bioethanol production ® = registered trademark in different countries. In addition to decanter centrifuges, Flottweg also produces separators. Why does Flottweg use the Tricanter® specifically for the corn oil extraction process? The corn oil Tricanter® is Flottweg’s three-phase decanter for liquid-liquid-solid separation. Especially in the process step of corn oil extraction, it offers tangible advantages: ∙ The corn oil Tricanter® can easily handle higher quantities of solids compared...

These factors combine to ensure the best possible oil quality and high yield: • Thanks to a special impeller, the separation zone - and the oil yield - can be precisely adjusted. • The impeller can be controlled during operation, either manually or automatically with a Flottweg control system. • The special design prevents possible back-mixing of the liquid phases within the three-phase decanter. A look at the ongoing operating costs quickly reveals the many benefits offered by the Flottweg corn oil Tricanter®: • Easy to operate for trained personnel (low training costs, similar to decanter)....

FLOTTWEG TRICANTER® – FUNCTION AND SPECIAL FEATURES Flottweg Tricanters® are used for the simultaneous separation of liquid, oil and solids (threephase process). Due to the special design of the impeller and the rotor, renewed mixing of the water and oil phase is virtually impossible after separation (e.g. by turbulence). As a result, the Tricanter® achieves high purity in the separated fat phase – i.e., in the case of bioethanol production processes, the corn oil.

(standard with Tricanter®) The adjustable impeller can vary the pond depth continuously during operation, allowing for quick and precise adaptation to changing feed concentrations. • High separation efficiency, even with changing composition of the feed mixture. • Optionally available with automatic remote adjustment. • Discharge of the liquid phase under pressure. This can eliminate the need for an additional conveying pump. • Upon request: fully automatic control by turbidity measurement in the oil or liquid phase.
