OVERVIEW Flottweg separators – two series, one principle: optimal separation and clarification for your processes Separators play a central role in the mechanical separation and clarification of liquidsolid mixtures in many industrial processes. Depending on the application and the nature of the product, different separator types are used. Flottweg offers two basic designs for this purpose, which have been specially developed to meet the process requirements of the respective industries. AC series: self-cleaning disk stack separators for precise fine clarification or separation Flottweg separators...

FDS series - nozzle separators: separators for clarification with high solids content Flottweg nozzle separators of the FDS series continuously transport the solids out of the bowl via special nozzles. Areas of application (among others): • Dewatering of pasty products Solids content: Application focus: Continuous solids discharge at high throughflow rates. These factors play a role when selecting the appropriate assembly: • Particle size and shape • Density and consistency of solids The specifications above serve as a rough guide. The optimum design of a centrifuge depends on numerous other...

Separators are high-speed centrifuges for the mechanical separation and clarification of mixtures consisting of solids and liquids. Due to their special design, separators operate at a very high rotational speed and therefore achieve a high centrifugal acceleration (g force). In addition, the integrated disks ensure a high clarification surface. As a result, even very fine solid particles can be separated out, and liquid mixtures can be separated efficiently. Depending on the application, we offer two separator series: This series is characterized by the Soft Shot® FLEX ejection mechanism, which...

AC SERIES – PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION AND DESIGN CLARIFIER Clarification: two-phase separation (solid-liquid) Flottweg clarifiers are used to separate solids from liquids and enable highly efficient clarification. 01 The product to be clarified runs through a stationary infeed pipe into the interior of the bowl and is gently accelerated to the bowl 02 speed by the distributor. Large solid particles are immediately deposited in the centrifugal field. 03 The disk pack in the bowl causes the product stream to split into many thin layers while creating a large clarification surface. Within the disk...

PURIFIERPurification: three-phase separation (liquid-liquid-solid) A purifier makes it possible to separate liquid mixtures with different densities while simultaneously separating out the solids. 01 In a purifier (three-phase separator), the product to be separated runs via a stationary infeed pipe into the 02 interior of the bowl and is gently accelerated by the distributor to the bowl speed. 03 Large solid particles are immediately deposited in the centrifugal field. The disk pack in the bowl causes the product stream to split into many thin layers and creates a large clarification surface....
