AC1700 Separator

In many aspects of process engineering, separators are used for mechanical separation and clarification of mixtures comprising solids and liquids. A separator is liquid-oriented and works with a higher rotation speed than a decanter. As a result, the generated centrifugal acceleration (g number) of a separator is significantly more powerful than in decanter centrifuges. Flottweg separators are suitable for separating ultrafine solid particles from a liquid (clarifier separator). Furthermore, Flottweg separators are suitable for separating mixtures of liquids with different densities at the same time as separating a solid (purifier). Flottweg AC separators (Automatic Cleaning) can be used in a wide range of applications, and are also available in various configurations. — Beverage and brewing industry — Starch industry — Chemicals and biotechnology — Extracting and processing fats and oils

Flottweg nozzle separators (2- and 3-phase nozzle separators) are used for the continuous separation of solids from liquids and ensure highly efficient clarification or separation. The product to be clarified or separated flows via a stationary inlet pipe into the inside of the bowl and is gently accelerated to operating speed by the distributor.

The secret of success of Flottweg separators is the separator bowl. The compact and robust design of the AC1500 convinces customers worldwide. Since the complete bowl can be assembled and disassembled as one compact component, simple and time-saving maintenance is guaranteed. The spindle of the AC1500 reaches its operating speed within a few seconds and can be flexibly adapted to product requirements through simple and variable speed control. In addition, the AC1500 operates so efficiently that power consumption can be reduced while at the same time decreasing the mechanical load on the system.

From algae harvesting to beer clarification and protein extraction: If you want to separate or purify liquids or remove ultra-fine particles you need strong and robust separators. Where decanter centrifuges reach their performance limits, the use of separators begins. Thanks to their high speeds, they are able to optimally process liquids. Clarifiers (2-phase separation), separate the finest solid particles from a liquid. As purification separators (3-phase separators), they separate liquid phases of different densities and simultaneously remove solids. Equipped with special features as the Flottweg Soft Shot® discharge system our products belong to the high qualitative products on the market.
