Flottweg - Separators for 3-Phase Separation System
From Flottweg Separator
If two liquids have to be separated, purifiers (3-phase separators, purifiers) are usually used. They separate liquid phases of different densities from each other and simultaneously separate the remaining fine solid residues. Decades of experience and a quality made in Germany make Flottweg separators high-quality, durable and efficient. Due to their special configuration, Flottweg purifier separators are optimally configured for the separation and discharge of two liquids and one solid phase. The 3-phase separator offers optimized flow conditions within the bowl to ensure maximum separation efficiency. Also with this disk separator, the discharge of solids is hardly audible.
How the 3-Phase Separator Operates
The product to be clarified runs through a stationary inlet pipe into the interior of the bowl and is gently accelerated to full speed by the distributor. The disc stack in the bowl divides the product stream into many thin layers, thus creating a large surface area. Within the disc stack, the liquid mixture is separated and the solids are discharged.
The liquid phases separated by centrifugal force are discharged from the bowl under pressure via two centripetal pumps. Due to the strong centrifugal force, the separated solids settle at the edge of the bowl. The separated solids are expelled periodically at full speed by a hydraulic system located in the lower part of the bowl.

Features for process optimization
Soft Shot
The solids discharge of a Flottweg separator is performed by the patented Flottweg Soft Shot® discharge system. The system allows a precise and user-defined combination of partial and full emptying. Depending on the products to be processed and the consistency of the solids, the type of discharge can be adjusted to ensure highly efficient operation.
Centripetal Pump
The centripetal pump ensures optimum discharge of the clarified liquids from the centrifuge. It discharges the clarified liquid under pressure from the separator bowl and prevents the product from foaming.
Lubrication system
A lubrication circulation system ensures fully automatic lubrication of the bowl spindle bearings. It lubricates the bearings regularly with an optimum oil quantity. This enables precise and speed-independent lubrication.
Disc stack
The actual splitting up of the liquid mixture takes place in the separator bowl disc stack. The disc stack consists of a large number of vertically arranged conical individual discs. The disc stack increases the clarifying area in the separator bowl and thereby the separation efficiency.
InGo
The Flottweg separators are controlled by our InGo operating philosophy. It enables optimum interaction of all process components and shows all important process parameters at a glance.
