Clarifying Decanter RCF 405

Application

Edible oil refining, Renewable Resources

Description

This decanter has been designed for press oil clarification of edible oils.

The solid-wall bowl has a cylindrical section for efficient clarification of the liquid and a conical section for drying the solids. Due to the centrifugal forces, the solids are flung onto the bowl wall and are transported by the scroll to the solids discharge. The clarifying decanter is available with either open or closed discharge of the liquid phase. On decanter type RCF 405-00-.. the clarified liquid is discharged freely into a catcher and flows off under gravity. On decanter type RCF 405-01-.. the clarified liquid is discharged under pressure via a centripetal pump. The decanter is completely CIPcompatible. The housing consists of a frame with supporting feet, protective plates and catchers for the discharged phases (version -00-) or a catch chamber for the solids discharge only (version -01-). The machine is driven by a frequency-controlled 3-phase AC motor via V-belts. There are different drive concepts available which permit automatic torque measurement and differential speed control.

The optional Westfalia Separator^® wewatch^® system permits permanent monitoring of bearing condition and smooth rotation as a basis for targeted preventive maintenance. All product-contacting parts are made of stainless steel. FDA approved materials are available for the seals.
