DiskSeparatoren

DiskSeparatoren, also known as disc separators or centrifugal separators, are mechanical devices used for the continuous separation of mixtures. They operate on the principle of centrifugal force, which is generated by a rapidly rotating bowl. When a liquid mixture is introduced into the spinning bowl, the denser components are forced outwards against the bowl wall, while the lighter components collect towards the center. The design of the separators typically includes a conical rotor with slots or discs, which aids in increasing the separation efficiency.

The separated components are then continuously discharged. This can be achieved through various mechanisms, such as overflow weirs for liquids or mechanical discharge systems for solids. Disk separators are widely employed in various industries, including food processing, dairy, chemical, and pharmaceutical applications. They are particularly effective for separating solids from liquids, such as clarifying juices, separating cream from milk, or purifying oils. Their ability to handle large volumes and achieve high separation rates makes them a valuable tool for industrial processes. The specific design and configuration of a disk separator are often tailored to the particular application and the properties of the mixture being processed.
