The Flottweg Nozzle Separator Bowl – the heart of the centrifuge
The bowl of the Flottweg nozzle separator is the heart of the centrifuge. That is why we have developed it together with our customers, for our customers. The nozzle separator bowl ensures trouble-free, hygienically flawless, and low-maintenance operation. At the same time, the design and geometry of the bowl ensure the lowest possible energy consumption.
- Very smooth running.
- Hygienic design.
- Low maintenance.
- High energy savings.
- Innovative.
When designing the nozzle separator bowl, our specialists benefited from more than 60 years of experience in the field of separation technology. Flottweg was thus able to develop a particularly sustainable and innovative separation system that is both efficient and resource-saving. This saves our customers' resources and reduces their operating costs.
How the Flottweg nozzle separator bowl works
The product to be clarified or separated enters the interior of the bowl via a stationary inlet pipe. Once in the bowl, larger solid particles are immediately separated by centrifugal force. Any remaining finer solids are separated as they flow through the disc stack. The bowl is designed in such a way that it offers the largest possible clarification surface area despite its compact and robust design. Flottweg has further optimized the flow conditions within the bowl. This leads to efficient solids separation in clarification processes and maximum separation efficiency when fractionating solids of different particle sizes. The separated solids are continuously discharged through the nozzles on the edge of the bowl.

Washing and recirculation system optionally available
At the customer's request, the nozzle separator bowl can be equipped with a washing or recirculation device. This device is characterized by a contactless and thus maintenance-free sealing system. This device enables process water or the already-separated product to be fed directly into the solids chambers in front of the nozzle outlet. This allows the separation result to be improved and allows product fluctuations to be leveled in a process-safe manner..
- Use of process water for a particularly pure end product.
- Balancing product fluctuations in a process-reliable manner.
- Contactless sealing system.
Innovative bowl design
The design of the nozzle separator bowl is characterized by innovation and sustainability. We have designed the centrifuge bowl to meet the stringent hygiene requirements of our customers, in particular those in the food sector. All components of the separator that come into contact with the product are made of high-quality stainless steel. The separator bowl has innovative solids chambers that enable deposit-free concentrate discharge. No deposits remain and dead spaces are avoided. At the same time, the innovative bowl design ensures low energy consumption. The discharge from the lower outlet is directed in such a way that it supports the bowl in its rotational movement. Thus, the separator requires less drive energy.
- It meets the highest hygiene requirements
- All bowl components are made of high-quality stainless steel.
- Maximum energy savings while discharging via the lower outlet.
Easy to maintain
During the development of the nozzle separator, we also focused on simple and quick maintenance. The bowl can be mounted and dismounted as a compact assembly. This makes maintenance considerably easier. The nozzles in the bowl can also be changed quickly and easily. This means that the centrifuge can always be optimally adapted to the product to be processed.
- The innovative interior design of the bowl ensures maximum running smoothness and fulfills hygiene requirements.
- The system can be optimally adapted to the product to be processed by quickly and easily changing the carbide nozzles.
- The complete bowl can be assembled and disassembled as a compact assembly, allowing for easy maintenance.
