THE OPTIMAL SEPARATION EQUIPMENT FOR EACH PROCESS The decision of which separation equipment should be used depends basically on the type of fruit or vegetable to be processed. One important selection criterion is the pulping process. Other parameters such as the particle size of the trub to be separated as well as the quantity of solids contained in the mash are also decisive. This diagram shows a simplified overview of applications for Flottweg decanters, disc stack centrifuges and belt presses. solids content of the mash or juice (percent by volume) 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 Flottweg disc stack...

THE FLOTTWEG THE FLOTTWEG DECANTER DECANTER Application and Characteristics Decanters are used for the extraction of finely solubilized fruit and vegetable mashes. They excel in high yields and can be used flexibly for different applications. Liquid discharge under pressure Solids discharge Flottweg Decanter – No Standard but an Individual Solution ® = registered trademark in various countries. Continuous operation ∙ Flexibility ∙ Quick and gentle processing ∙ Hygienic due to the closed system Adjustable impeller ∙ High yield also in case of changing feed conditions ∙ Flexible and easy adaption...

THE FLOTTWEG THE FLOTTWEG BELT PRESS BELT PRESS Application and Characteristics The Belt Press is used for dewatering products containing a large quantity of solids, e.g. for extracting fruit mashes. The machine excels in high yields and a high dry substance content in the pomace. The special design of the profile rollers and the belt alignment results in high pressure and shear stress, thus assuring a fast and efficient extraction of the product. Filtrate (discharge juice) Solids (pomace) Flottweg Belt Press Continuous operation ∙ Easy handling ∙ Automatically adjusted belt tension ∙ Easy accessibility...

THE FLOTTWEG DISC THE FLOTTWEG DISC STACK CENTRIFUGE STACK CENTRIFUGE Application and Characteristics Disc stack centrifuges with self-cleaning bowl are used as clarifiers for the separation of fine solids which are not desired in the final product. In case of cloudy juices, trub stability and quality are thus considerably increased. Due to the high g-forces, it is also possible to separate very fine particles. Flottweg disc stack centrifuges can also be used as purifiers (three-phaseseparation) for the production of essential oil. In this process they concentrate and purify an emulsion consisting...

PRODUCTION OF PRODUCTION OF CLOUDY JUICES CLOUDY JUICES The Example of Apple Juice The demand for natural and untreated products is continuously increasing. Consumers attach great importance to high quality. Cloudy apple juice, for instance, should have a light color and a clear and stable turbidity. Production should be fast and continuous in order to prevent the product as far as possible from getting a brown color. These requirements can best be met by using a combination consisting of a belt press followed by a disc stack centrifuge. pomace Flottweg belt press Flottweg disc stack centrifuge...

BFRU 1200 BFRU 1500 BFRU 1750 BFRU 2500 Capacity and yields of Flottweg belt presses in the production of cloudy apple juices * Data to be understood as values for cider apples which are immaculate and not overripe Maximum capacity[l/h] * The listed figures are to be understood as guidelines. Actual capacity will depend on the individual characteristics of the feed product.

PRODUCTION OF PRODUCTION OF CLOUDY JUICES CLOUDY JUICES Two-Phase Juice Pressing Due to the increasing competition on the worldwide fruit juice market, producers are always interested in obtaining the maximum yield from the raw material. Flottweg decanters can also be used in combination with belt presses for the production of apple juice or juice concentrates. While the Flottweg belt press is the best solution for extraction during the first phase (high capacity and high yields as well as high quality juices), the Flottweg decanters are perfect for postextraction, especially if the pomace is...
