Nozzle Separator HFC 15-01-177

Nozzle Separator HFC 15-01-177

Application

Renewable Resources, Fermentation products, e.g. yeast extract

Description

This separator has been designed for processing baker’s yeast, yeast extract and other fermentation products.

The product flows through the hydrohermetic feed into the bowl and is clarified in the disk stack. The clarified liquid is conveyed to the outlet foam-free and under pressure by the centripetal pump. The separated concentrate flows through channels to the special Westfalia Separator® viscon® nozzles for viscosity-dependent concentration regulation. They permit a virtually constant biomass concentration also in the case of fluctuating feed volumes and concentrations.

Partial or total ejections can be performed for cleaning purposes by an hydraulically operated ejection system. The separator features the patented Westfalia Separator® hydrostop system which reduces the actual ejection time to less than one tenth of a second.

The self-cleaning bowl makes the machine suitable for fully automatic cleaning-in-place. The feed and discharge are through a closed system.

The product feed and product discharge in the bowl are hydrohermetically sealed and do not feature mechanical seals. The feed and discharge are rated to suit the application. The double-walled design of hood and solids catcher makes the separator noise-insulated and coolable.

The machine is driven by a 3-phase AC motor via a flat belt.

All parts coming in contact with the product and discharged solids are made of Cr-Ni-Mo stainless steel.
