3 phase decanter centrifuge for industrial separation
Optimize your production line with efficient three-phase separation, handling solid-liquid-liquid mixtures seamlessly to enhance purity and reduce processing stages, ideal for transforming raw inputs into refined end-products with precision.
Separates Solids and Two Liquids Simultaneously
The Tricanter® from Flottweg is a versatile centrifuge designed for efficient three-phase separation, allowing simultaneous processing of solids and two immiscible liquid phases in a continuous operation. Utilizing a unique impeller system, it adapts dynamically to varying inlet conditions, ensuring precise separation. This makes it ideal for diverse applications, from biofuel and edible oil production to pharmaceutical extraction and wastewater management. With capacities up to 8,400 kg/hour, it integrates seamlessly into automated production lines, featuring PLC control and remote monitoring for ease of use. Energy-efficient with optimized motor control, the Tricanter® offers material options in high-grade stainless steel for enhanced durability and chemical resistance. It complies with industry certifications and supports sustainable operation through reduced energy consumption and wear-resistant designs. CIP capability ensures convenient, thorough cleaning, maintaining hygiene standards crucial for food and biotech sectors. Custom configurations and Flottweg’s engineering support ensure the Tricanter® meets specific operational needs.
