It combines the advantages of decanter and separator. It ensures efficient separation of mixtures where both the decanter and the separator yield insufficient results. It has high clarification capacity and optimum separation ability with a centrifugal force of 5,000 to 10,000 g. It has a very high solid loading capacity like decanters and separation efficiency like separators. It is used for materials with a soft consistency that are too thin to be processed effectively in a decanter and cannot be drained easily. It is suitable for processing soft products such as biomass, yeast suspensions, protein suspensions, fermentation broth. It is also possible to process mixtures containing a large proportion of solids. Its capacity can go up to 50 m3 /hour. Thanks to Flottweg’s Simp Drive® drive concept and adjustable impeller, solids fluctuations in the feed can be easily compensated, ensuring a constant separation result at all times.

Flottweg’s Tricanter® enables the separation of three phases (solid-liquid-liquid) in one process. For over 40 years Flottweg has been producing Tricanter® for three-phase separation. Three-phase separation is the simultaneous separation of two immiscible liquids of different densities and a solid phase, provided that the solid phase is the heaviest phase. Its main difference from the decanter is the separate discharge of two different liquid phases. While higher density liquid is discharged under pressure, lower density liquid is discharged without pressure, under the influence of gravity. It can operate up to 80 m3 processing capacity per hour. Three-phase separation offers users several advantages: The combination of process steps eliminates the need for additional separation stages and provides significant cost savings. It can adapt to changing feeding conditions at any time. Flottweg tricanters designed for your process are very easy to use and maintain thanks to their compact design. In case of flammable mixtures, explosion protection is also provided in accordance with the ATEX directive and current standards. It can also be produced in accordance with “Hygienic Design”. All components of tricanters produced for the food industry that come into contact with the product have CIP feature (Cleaning in Place).

When solid/liquid mixtures with a high proportion of solids have to be separated, decanter centrifuges are the preferred solution. Every Flottweg decanter centrifuge is manufactured with experience gained from over 60 years of centrifuge design and more than 1,000 applications offered. In contrast to filters for solid-liquid separation, decanter centrifuges run continuously. The basic working principle of decanters can be summarised as the separation of the phases in the mixture fed to the feeding zone by cyclic acceleration, the solid phase is collected on the wall of the drum because it has a higher density, the screw blades scrape and compress the solid and carry it to the discharge point. The liquid phase leaves the system under the effect of gravity.

From algae harvesting to beer clarification and protein extraction, if you want to separate or purify liquids or remove ultrafine particles, you need strong and robust separators. With tremendous centrifugal acceleration of over 12,000 g, Flottweg separators offer a high-quality separation solution. Flottweg separators do not lose their stability even with acceleration forces of over 12,000 g. The product to be purified flows into the separation chamber through the feed pipe. The distributor then slowly accelerates the material to separation speed. The stack of disks in the hopper divides the product stream into many thin layers, creating a large surface area. Within the disk stack, centrifugal force causes the solids to separate from the liquid and settle on the walls of the drum. The separated material particles are periodically removed at maximum speed by the hydraulic system at the bottom of the drum. The clarified liquid is directed from the disc stack to the suction of a central pump and discharged under pressure. Their compact, robust design ensures trouble-free operation and simplifies maintenance. The disc stack and distributor ensure optimum flow conditions in the chamber. Thus, maximum separation efficiency is achieved. The number of wear parts and seals is minimized, reducing downtime and operating costs.

In plastic recycling, plastics can be separated quickly and efficiently using the centrifugal effect. The patented Flottweg Sorticanter® provides economical recycling by separating different types of plastic according to their different densities. Plastics separated by centrifugation have a higher dryness than any other separation process. Air bubbles, surface effects or dust on the plastics have no effect on separation. Since most types of plastics vary in density, the sedimentation or flotation procedure is an efficient separation method; However, centrifugal separation is much faster than these methods and much drier material is obtained. Before the separation process, the raw material is broken into particles. The shredded and pre-cleaned material is then mixed in tanks with carrier liquid, also called separation liquid. Then, the homogenized suspension is fed to the “sorticanter” through a static feeding pipe. Heavier material accumulates on the drum wall under the effect of centrifugal force. The solid accumulated here is transported and evacuated with the help of a spiral. The light plastic collects on the liquid. The liquid flows through the screw and carries the light plastic particles with it. The special screw design ensures that the light phase is transported in the direction of the solid discharge (light phase). The liquid flows out under pressure through an impeller. The Flottweg Sorticanter® has a capacity of up to 1,000 kg/hour, depending on the characteristics of the feed. Since it requires minimum labor, operating costs can be saved. Low consumption of clean water and energy also has a positive impact on operating costs.
