Krauss-Maffei peeler centrifuges with rotary siphon
By utilizing the rotary siphon feature, an original ANDRITZ Separation GmbH development, the overall performance of the peeler centrifuge can be improved considerably. Substantial advantages include:
Increased filtration capacity
Creating a vacuum beneath the filter cloth increases the filtration pressure and boosts the filtration rate.
Superior product purity
The filtration rate can be adjusted to prolong the contact time between wash liquid and solids to produce a purer cake.
Extended residual heel service life
Regeneration of the residual heel is achieved by means of backwashing through the filter medium.
Smoother operation
As a result of backwashing and throttling of the filtration rate, the siphon feature enables feeding into a liquid pool to achieve uniform distribution of solids without vibration, even with fast-filtering products.
