Nozzle Separator Centrifuge

Nozzle separators are continuously operating disk centrifuges. They are built as centrifugal clarifiers and separators and are more solids-orientated than self-cleaning separators. When they are configured to function as clarifiers, they are called concentrators. They are used to thicken solids from suspensions.

Nozzle separators are absolute specialists in the processing of fermentation products in biotechnology, the pharmaceutical and food industries.

The separated solids are discharged continuously through nozzles fitted at the bowl periphery. The nozzle separators are equipped with a hydraulically operated ejection system which enables both partial and total ejections to be triggered during product separation.

The advantage: when processing difficult products, the separating time to the next CIP cycle can be extended. The time-controlled or process-dependent ejections additionally optimize cleaning of nozzles, bowl and disks.

The bowl of the Flottweg nozzle separator is the heart of the centrifuge. That is why we have developed it together with our customers, for our customers. The nozzle separator bowl ensures trouble-free, hygienically flawless, and low-maintenance operation. At the same time, the design and geometry of the bowl ensure the lowest possible energy consumption.

• Very smooth running.
• Hygienic design.
• Low maintenance.
• High energy savings.
• Innovative.

When designing the nozzle separator bowl, our specialists benefited from more than 60 years of experience in the field of separation technology. Flottweg was thus able to develop a particularly sustainable and innovative separation system that is both efficient and resource-saving. This saves our customers' resources and reduces their operating costs.
