C4E Decanter Centrifuge

Are you looking for an optimal and highly efficient solution for your process? Then our Z-series is the right one for you. These Flottweg High-Performers can be used in the food industry, mining or even the recycling of by-products - and these are just a few examples. With very low maintenance and the best quality of our components, you can be sure that the Flottweg decanter will meet your requirements. If you are one of Flottweg's customers for whom cleanliness and hygiene are particularly important, we will be pleased to build your machine according to the hygienic design.

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.

Like all machine sizes in our C series, the C5E is also equipped with optimum wear protection. This reduces maintenance costs, as only wear parts need to be replaced. At the same time, this ensures a longer service life and high machine availability. The Flottweg features Recuvane® and Simp Drive® make the simple, efficient and individual operation of the centrifuge perfect.
