Description
The CR 450 separation system consists of a separator, a process & service liquid unit, and an electrical & control system.
The disc stack separator is based on the Alfa Laval fully hermetic concept with bottom fed design. The design ensures gentle acceleration of the feed, which minimizes the splitting of the shear-sensitive oil droplets and maximizes the separation performance. The mechanical seal on the bowl ensures no foaming and no oxidation of the product and it also prevents loss of aroma.
Adjustable discharge volume, in combination with the timerbased triggering function, ensures discharge of solids with high dry matter content, thus minimizing product losses and resulting in a clean bowl and reliable operation.
The bowl casing is jacketed for cooling and sound dampening.
The system is modularized and can be configured from a selection of basic and other optional standardized units and control functions.
The control system includes a PLC and a user-friendly HMI to monitor and control the separation process parameters. The system can be configured for remote operation.
All metallic parts in contact with the process liquid are made of high-grade stainless steel. Gaskets and seals in contact with the product are made of FDA approved material and are approved according to food regulations (EC1935/2004).
The separation system is designed for automated Cleaning in Place (CIP).
