Industrial nozzle separator for high solids concentration

Optimize your production with high-performance nozzle separators designed to efficiently handle challenging solid-liquid separations, ensuring purity and consistency across diverse processing lines.

Separates High Solids from Liquids Continuously

The FDS2000 Nozzle Separator from Flottweg is designed to handle the challenges of separating high solids concentrations in continuous operations. This German-engineered separator employs a specially designed disc stack for efficient clarification, with automatic solid discharge via nozzles. Ideally suited for applications in the starch, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology sectors, it processes end-products like wet starch, yeast extract, and almond milk. With its innovative energy-efficient design, the FDS2000 uses a lightweight bowl, reducing energy consumption significantly. The PLC-controlled system ensures smooth integration into production lines, allowing flexible speed adjustments via a frequency converter. Made from high-quality stainless steel, it meets stringent hygiene standards and features a closed-loop lubrication system for minimized wear and prolonged service life. Enhanced by an easy-maintenance design, including quick nozzle and drive belt replacements, this separator ensures high availability and low operating costs. Additionally, it is compliant with CIP processes for thorough, contamination-free cleaning.

Benefits

  • Maximizes solids separation efficiency with continuous operation for uninterrupted production.
  • Reduces energy costs through lightweight bowl construction and optimized motor control.
  • Ensures high production line compatibility with flexible speed regulation and remote monitoring capability.
  • Minimizes maintenance downtime with fast and easy nozzle and drive belt replacement.
  • Complies with strict hygiene standards, suitable for food and pharmaceutical applications.
