Liquid Separator

Applications & Use Cases

• Separating solids from liquids in fruit juice production.
• Clarifying broths and stocks in food manufacturing.
• Extracting dregs from fermented products like wine or beer.
• Processing vegetable pulps and purees to remove fibrous material.
• Recovering valuable solids from waste streams in food processing.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 200 to 1000 litres per hour, depending on the viscosity and solid content of the feed material.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with motor power ranging from 2.2 kW to 7.5 kW.

Construction material

Components in contact with product are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., SS304 or SS316) to ensure hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Separation principle

This model likely operates on a centrifugal separation principle, using high-speed rotation to separate components based on density differences.

Footprint

A unit of this size typically requires a floor space of approximately 1.0m x 0.8m, with an operational height of around 1.5m.

Maintenance requirements

Regular cleaning, inspection of seals and bearings, and occasional replacement of wear parts are typically required to maintain optimal performance.
