The comparison capacity is based on different decanters of Westfalia Separator and is below the max. throughput capacity. The effective capacity depends on the clarifiability of the feed mixture, the solids loading in the feed, the admissible residual moisture in the discharged solids and the admissible solids content in the clarified liquid. The machine can be largely adapted to these conditions and requirements.

Continuous Efficient

Decanters in Breweries

Decanters are horizontal scroll centrifuges with a cylindrical-conical solid-wall bowl. They are used for the continuous separation of solids from suspensions, clarification of liquids as well as concentration of solids. The new type CB 506 decanter was developed specially for application in breweries. To meet the high requirements of brewing operations, numerous new design developments were realised.

Low wear without mechanical gaskets

Mechanical gaskets are superfluous due to the hydrohermetic non-contacting sealing arrangement. This makes cleaning the decanter much easier and service intervals are longer.

No oxygen pickup due to hydrohermetic seal

Hydrohermetic sealing of the bowl inner chamber prevents oxygen intake into the product during the clarifying process in the decanter.

Optimum solids concentration Full CIP-capability through hygienic design

Optimum integration of the machine in the CIP system of the brewery is possible. Surface quality and gasket dimensions have been optimised to satisfy the high hygiene demands of our customers. Optimum solids concentration is assured by the 2-gear drive for regulating the differential speed. Solids discharge is in a closed system with the possibility of solids recycling.

Low energy design

The energy consumption has been reduced to a minimum by modifying the inner centripetal pump, reducing the diameter for the solids discharge and opti mising the scroll.

No CO2 loss through blanketing with CO2

The decanter has been designed so that the bowl inner chamber can be permanently blanketed with CO2. On the one hand, this prevents the release of CO2 while, on the other hand, the pressure blanketing can be utilised to support solids discharge from the machine.

Our Features. Your Benefits 20 40 hl/h feed volume Oxygen intake 0 mg/l Fluctuating solids concentrations in the feed between 0 70% by vol. can be processed without dilution Solids concentration in the clear phase < 0.1% for fresh yeast Solids concentration 24 27% DS High economy in comparison to competing technologies Short payback time Continuous operation Short processing times.

Space-saving top-mounted drive

The "tunnel" design makes possible the space-saving arrangement of the drive unit.
