É fácil de operar e manter, proporcionando um tempo mínimo de retorno do investimento e um custo total de propriedade. Disponível como um componente autônomo ou um skid plug-and-play, que pode ser facilmente integrado à sua planta e ao seu processo atuais.
Experience the highest possible yield and clean discharge
- Long retention time, maximizing oil extraction and uptime
- Validated and proven technology, reaching up to 99.5 Vol.% oil/fat purity, requiring little further processing
- Simplified process setup reduces the need for peripheral decanter oil equipment such as pumps, tanks, piping, etc.
- Low total cost thanks to reduced energy consumption and maintenance costs, often resulting in a pay-off time of less than one year
- Stable operation with open outlets maintains a stable interphase even with fluctuations in feed flow or composition
- Available as a standalone component or a plug-and-play skid, needing minimal change in your existing process
Como funciona
This Alfa Laval decanter centrifuge is intended for a three-phase suspension, where one discharge phase is for oil only. The working principle is similar to a skimmer. The incoming feed is effectively separated into oil and wet slurry.
The product is fed into the bowl through an inlet tube and is accelerated by the inlet rotor. Separation takes place in a horizontal cylindrical bowl equipped with a screw conveyor that is purpose-built for efficient oil recovery. Centrifugal force separates the oil from the feed slurry, making the (lower density) oil accumulates at the liquid surface, while the solids are kept in suspension and are discharged, as a slurry, in the conical end together with the water. Oil extraction takes place along the entire length of the cylindrical part of the bowl.
Fish oil processing
In the rendering method of oil extraction, adding a Foodec Oil Plus decanter can increase the oil extraction rate by up to 3%, while also reducing fat in dry matter (FiDM) by at least 2%—with even greater fat reduction observed in the final fish meal.
This not only increases the revenue from the oil fraction, but also raises the market value of the protein due to the lower fat content. As an added benefit, the extracted oil is so clear that further processing in a high-speed separator can be kept to a minimum.
Serviços
Maintenance of Foodec decanters is key for ensuring optimum process performance and best possible hygienic conditions.
Depending on process conditions (running time, type of raw, process temperature, number of CIP cycles etc.), Alfa Laval recommends having:
- a decanter inspection at least every 4-6 months
- a major service at least every year.
Qualified Alfa Laval field service engineers can perform inspection and service either on site or in an Alfa Laval service center.
Maintaining bowl and conveyor in good condition is essential for hygienic process conditions and process performance. Bowl and/or conveyor repair is done at an Alfa Laval service center.
With connected services such as remote support and monitoring maintenance intervals can be extended. Maintenance, repairs, condition and remote monitoring can be bundled in a Service Agreement, tailor to your particular needs.
Alfa Laval also offers trainings for on-site maintenance staff.
