Liquids to Value
This decanter has been designed for
processing by-products in the meat,
rendering and fish industry. The solid-wall
bowl has a cylindrical section for efficient
clarification and separation of the liquids
and a conical section for drying the solids.
Due to the centrifugal forces, the solids
are flung onto the bowl wall and are trans-
ported by the scroll to the solids discharge.
On decanter type ACF 465-03-.. the
clarified and separated light liquid phase
is gravity discharged while the heavy
liquid phase is discharged under pressure
via centripetal pump. On decanter type
ACF 465-05-.. the clarified and separated
liquid phases are separately discharge0d
by gravity. The housing consists of a
frame with supporting feet, protective
plates and catchers for the discharged
phases. The bowl is seated in a self-
supporting, pillow block steel housing.
The machine is driven by a frequency-
controlled 3-phase AC motor via V-belts.
The drive system permits automatic
torque measurement and differential
speed control. The optional Westfalia
Separator® wewatch® system permits
permanent monitoring of bearing condi-
tion and unbalance behaviour as a basis
for targeted preventive maintenance.
All product-contacting parts are made
of stainless steel, gaskets are made of
NBR or FKM.
