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.
