SEPARATORS

Stone separation machines are used in flour factories to separate materials such as stone, metal, glass and soil in wheat that have a specific gravity different from wheat. It is an indispensable machine especially for dry system cleaning units. Stones and similar substances can easily enter the wheat from nature. If these substances are not separated from the wheat, the flour or ash content will be high as a result of grinding. This is also an undesirable feature.

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
