Z5E Decanter centrifuge

Flottweg Technology serves over 1000 applications worldwide. Each of these engineering processes are as individual as our Z series decanter centrifuges. From the food to the pharmaceutical industry to the processing of by-products - so specific, individual and optimized, our Z series can meet many challenges with flying colors. Hygienic design, for our customers where cleanliness matters, can be guaranteed in every machine. Special ATEX protection ensures safety and our own Simp Drive® drive system make the technological performance perfect.

A decanter can be thought of as a settling basin that wraps around an axis. In the settling basin, the solid particles that are heavier than the liquid move to the bottom by gravity and form a sediment at the bottom of the basin. In the rotating drum of the centrifuge, the solid particles that are heavier than the liquid move outward by centrifugal force and form a sediment on the inner wall of the centrifuge drum. Since forces of about 3000 g occur in a centrifuge, as opposed to 1 g in the gravitational field, the separation of the solid particles from the liquid is much faster and more efficient.

The Flottweg Z-Series offers decisive advantages for our customers that make us special. Providing the extra efficiency: — Continuous operation — Optimum separation result and energy recovery due to customized bowl and screw geometry — complete wear protection thanks to high-quality stainless steel and robust design — compact and space-saving machine design — Quality Made in Germany
