Simp Drive®

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document celebrates 20 years of the Flottweg Simp Drive®, highlighting its efficiency and adaptability in industrial separation processes. The Simp Drive® is recognized for its simple, intelligent, modular, and powerful design.

How the Simp Drive® Works
The Simp Drive® operates with a variable speed motor that adjusts the rotation speed optimally. It features a frequency-controlled motor for the decanter bowl, allowing for precise control over the bowl speed and overcoming inertia. The system continuously adjusts the differential speed to maintain high-quality output solids.

Applications
The Simp Drive® is used to regulate the differential speed between the decanter bowl and scroll, significantly influencing the separation process. It allows independent adjustment of bowl and differential speeds during operation, thanks to its special planetary epicyclic gear unit.

Technical Information
The drive features torque-dependent differential speed control, with separate drives for the bowl and scroll.

Advantages
The Simp Drive® offers several benefits:

High throughput performance due to optimized bowl and differential speeds.
Simple regulation of scroll torque with overload protection.
Independent control of scroll and differential speeds.
High efficiency with consistently high dry substance values.
Flexibility in operating speed selection.
Low maintenance costs due to a belt drive system.

Conclusion
The Flottweg Simp Drive® is a cost-effective solution for a wide range of demanding separation tasks, offering high flexibility and efficiency.
