Flottweg SE products

In the classic separation process, solids are separated from a liquid, or two liquids of different densities are separated. But often both come together. This is exactly where the Tricanter from Flottweg is the right solution. It allows the continuous separation of three phases (solid-liquid-liquid) in a single process. This is attractive, for example, in the treatment of oily sludges, in starch production and in fat recovery. More than 40 years ago, Flottweg developed the Tricanter to separate three phases in a single simultaneous process. The prerequisites for this are that the liquids are not soluble in each other, that they have different densities and that the solids phase has the highest specific weight. On this basis, the specially designed impeller system produces optimum separation results.

The Flottweg Sedicanter for processing fine-grained, past-like products. Flottweg produces a special decanter centrifuge for soft, easy-flowing sediment. The Flottweg Sedicanter separates solids from liquids. The special thing about it: The solids consist of a soft to easy-flowing sediment. Soft or easy-flowing solids are difficult to process with a standard decanter. Only the patented Flottweg Sedicanter achieves an optimal result. Thanks to its adjustable impeller, it achieves the best possible selectivity even with fluctuating feed rates.

Businesses with an increasing focus on environmental protection and recycling demand new, innovative solutions. This prompted Flottweg to develop the Sorticanter for the processing of plastics. Naturally occurring raw materials such as plants, coal, natural gas and crude oil are the basic materials for the production of plastics. These raw materials cannot be recovered through processing in chemical steps. The recycling of plastics is therefore an issue for every environmentally conscious person. The Sorticanter makes it possible to make a contribution to environmental protection in accordance with the principles of ecology and economy.

Mechanical separation technology presents us and our customers with major challenges time and time again. Each process is individual and the influencing factors vary widely. As a result, an "off the peg" solution is usually impossible. Flottweg is your partner for individual solutions in mechanical separation technology. We offer you the best solution based on our technology and experience. Together, we find the best possible way to achieve the ideal overall process under the specified general conditions. We work out the processes together and place emphasis on the details. Together, we achieve the optimum result.

From algae harvesting to beer clarification and protein extraction: If you want to separate or purify liquids or remove ultra-fine particles you need strong and robust separators. With their enormous centrifugal acceleration of up to over 12,000 g, Flottweg separators are real purification and clarification all-rounders - highest quality made in Germany. Where decanter centrifuges reach their performance limits, the use of separators begins. Thanks to their high speeds, they are able to optimally process liquids. Clarifiers (2-phase separation), separate the finest solid particles from a liquid. As purification separators (3-phase separators), they separate liquid phases of different densities and simultaneously remove solids.
