High efficiency separation and clarification for food and beverage production

Paul Boughton

SPX’s Seital Separation Technology vertical disk stack centrifuges provides high quality separation and clarification in compact solutions.

Seital centrifuge technology has been developed based on detailed analysis of flow dynamics along with a clear understanding of applications and challenges within the food and beverage industry. When designing a solution, all aspects of the system are considered including vibration, aerodynamics of the centrifuge bowl, noise levels, energy usage, reliability and maintenance to ensure reliable, efficient operation of the machine.

Seital vertical disk centrifuges offer exceptionally gentle separation or clarification processes which minimise the stress on the product being produced, preserving favourable characteristics and ensuring consistent, reliable production. With the understanding of flow dynamics, the machines are designed to offer optimum efficiency for a given application. For areas such as the clarification of tea or wine, this efficiency results in the exceptional clarity required for a high quality end product. Quality is further enhanced with hermetic mechanical seals which minimise the risk of oxidation and make the centrifuge ideal for sparkling products which use carbon dioxide, such as wine or beer.

Hygiene is assured as all wetted parts on the centrifuges are made from stainless steel with no crevices for easy, complete cleaning and automatic clean in place (CIP) functionality available. Machines are further designed for straightforward maintenance and, with a compact form, easy installation into existing facilities.

Precise control and adjustment of the machine is provided through an intuitive operator interface to ensure the process is providing exactly the right product characteristics.
