Flottweg clarifiers
for 2-phase separation

The solids discharge of a Flottweg separator is performed by the patented Flottweg Soft Shot® FLEX discharge system. The system allows a precise and user-defined combination of partial and full emptying. Depending on the products to be processed and the consistency of the solids, the type of discharge can be adjusted to ensure highly efficient operation. Further information about the system can be found here:

The option for 2-phase separators seals the product space from the ambient atmosphere. As a consequence, this feature prevents unwanted oxygen absorption and the formation of foam. The hydrohermetic design of the disk separator consists of a stationary disk which is immersed in a liquid (e.g. degassed water) and thereby creates a seal to the immediate environment.

The centripetal pump ensures optimum discharge of the clarified liquids from the centrifuge. It discharges the clarified liquid under pressure from the separator bowl and prevents the product from foaming. Further information:

A lubrication circulation system ensures fully automatic lubrication of the bowl spindle bearings. It lubricates the bearings regularly with an optimum oil quantity. This enables precise and speed-independent lubrication. Further information:

The actual splitting up of the liquid mixture takes place in the separator bowl disc stack. The disc stack consists of a large number of vertically arranged conical individual discs. The disc stack increases the clarifying area in the separator bowl and thereby the separation efficiency. Further information on the disc stack can be found here:

The Flottweg separators are controlled by our InGo operating philosophy. It enables optimum interaction of all process components and shows all important process parameters at a glance. Further information on the user interface can be found here:
