Clarification - Import export

The Flottweg AC1700 separator – the newest member of the Flottweg family Separators are used to separate the finest solid particles from liquids. Separators are available from Flottweg for a wide range of applications, from the production of beverages to the production of vegetable oil. Our separators are subject to different requirements depending on the application and size of the respective plant. To be able to offer our customers more options and the optimum solution, we have expanded our separator portfolio with a new machine size: the Flottweg AC1700 separator. The Flottweg AC1700 separator fits between our popular AC1500 and AC2000 series and completes our product portfolio for the food and beverage industry. With over 70,000 m² / 753,474 ft² of clarification area and an acceleration of 11,000 g, the compact separator ensures an optimally clarified final product with a high throughput.

In many aspects of process engineering, separators are used for mechanical separation and clarification of mixtures comprising solids and liquids. A separator is liquid-oriented and works with a higher rotation speed than a decanter. As a result, the generated centrifugal acceleration (g number) of a separator is significantly more powerful than in decanter centrifuges. Flottweg separators are suitable for separating ultrafine solid particles from a liquid (clarifier separator). Furthermore, Flottweg separators are suitable for separating mixtures of liquids with different densities at the same time as separating a solid (purifier). Flottweg AC separators (Automatic Cleaning) can be used in a wide range of applications, and are also available in various configurations. — Beverage and brewing industry — Starch industry — Chemicals and biotechnology — Extracting and processing fats and oils
