2-phase separator for clarifying liquids

Efficiently refine and clarify liquids while minimizing waste. This 2-phase separator expertly handles the delicate task of separating solids from liquids, crucial for maintaining product purity and consistency in high-speed operations. Ideal for producers needing precise separation in processes like juice clarification and biodiesel production.

Efficiently Clarifies and Separates Liquid-Solid Mixtures

Flottweg’s AC-Series centrifuge separators offer a robust solution for efficient liquid-solid separation across multiple industries. The self-emptying 2-phase separators utilize a sophisticated disc stack system, significantly increasing clarification surface area for optimal separation performance. These machines are designed to handle diverse applications, including juice concentration, biodiesel production, and pharmaceutical purification, delivering precision and reliability. With a throughput tailored to specific industry needs, the separators integrate seamlessly into existing production lines and are equipped with PLC controls for enhanced automation and remote monitoring. The patented Soft Shot® discharge system allows precise control over the expulsion of solids, optimizing efficiency and reducing noise. For those concerned with environmental impact, the hydrohermetic design minimizes oxygen absorption, preventing unwanted reactions. Constructed in durable materials to resist corrosion, these separators meet strict compliance standards and are engineered for minimal maintenance with features like automatic lubrication systems. Customizable options and Flottweg’s dedicated engineering support ensure the equipment fits your exact production requirements.
