Flottweg has expanded its’ separator portfolio with the Flottweg AC1700 separator. The Flottweg AC1700 separator fits between the popular AC1500 and AC2000 series and completes the product portfolio for the food and beverage industry. With over 70,000 m2 / 753,474 ft2 of clarification area and an acceleration of 11,000 g, the compact separator ensures an optimally clarified final product with a high throughput.
Separators are used to separate the finest solid particles from liquids. Separators from Flottweg are available for a wide range of applications, from the production of beverages to the production of vegetable oil. Separators are subject to different requirements depending on the application and size of the respective plant.
The AC1700 is engineered and made in Germany and is characterized by two essential features: the separator is very robust with low-maintenance requirements and remains calm even under extremely high g acceleration.
Hygienic design with CIP cleaning
The hygienic requirements that the machines must meet are particularly important for the food and beverage industry. Separators, including the AC1700, meet high hygienic standards. If desired, the separator can be easily integrated into existing CIP (Cleaning in Place) processes. The hygienic design ensures that even the smallest product residues can be easily removed during cleaning.
Equipped with Soft Shot emptying system
The AC1700 separator is equipped with Flottweg’s speed-independent Soft Shot emptying system. The emptying system is used to discharge the separated solids from the drum at full speed. Full and partial emptying can be combined as desired, and the emptying quantities and times can be precisely defined. With the Soft Shot, a loud emptying bang is a thing of the past. Thanks to the unique design, the emptying is precise and quiet.
