3-phase liquid separation solution
Achieve precise separation of liquids and solids to enhance product quality and streamline processing with high-efficiency centrifugal technology.

Separates and Purifies Multiphase Liquid-Solid Mixtures
The Flottweg AC Series of 3-phase centrifugal separators, including the AC1000 to AC2500 models, efficiently separates liquid-solid mixtures for a range of demanding industries such as oil production, biofuels, pharmaceuticals, and food processing. This series features a patented Soft Shot® discharge system and employs a multi-stage disc stack design to maximize separation efficiency. Capable of processing various mixtures like olive oil, biodiesel, bioplastic pellets, and recycled PVC granules, these centrifugal separators offer a throughput suitable for high-speed continuous operations. Integration into existing production lines is seamless, with InGo process controls and PLC automation ensuring optimized performance. Built from corrosion-resistant materials, the separators provide durable service life in challenging environments. Furthermore, the inclusion of a lubrication circulation system and easy-to-service components reduces downtime for maintenance, making them ideal for sectors requiring precise and reliable separation solutions.
