Centrifugal separator

CENTRIFUGAL SEPARATION

Centrifugal separation is used to separate milk into cream and skimmed milk, or to separate particles from juice so it becomes clear, and therefore more appetizing.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Industry-unique centrifugal separators for ​excellent product quality

Since its invention more than 130 years ago, the centrifugal separator has become an indispensable piece of equipment in the food and beverage industry. Today’s cutting-edge separation technology gives clear advantages in terms of product quality and safety, operational efficiency and production flexibility.

Polynode disc stack
Major breakthrough in separator disc technology

Smaller nodes = HIGHER CAPACITY

The innovative polynode design has made it possible to increase the number of discs in the separator’s disc stack. This means that a separator equipped with polynode discs has a significantly higher capacity than its predecessors – it has become bigger on the inside!

The magic inside AirTight separators

Our design concept for separators, with its closed, hermetic system, eliminates the limitations of semi-open separators. The AirTight system means a process that is gentler on your liquid, and one that considerably reduces energy consumption.
