Decanter ACF 555 (Separating Decanter)

Decanter ACF 555 (Separating Decanter)

Application

Fish, meat and food processing, Renewable Resources

Description

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 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. On decanter type ACF 555-03-.. 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 555-05‑.. the clarified and separated liquid phases are separately discharged by gravity. The decanter is completely CIP-compatible. The housing consists of a frame with supporting feet, protective plates and catchers for the discharged phases. 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.
