OverviewMACFUGE disc‑stack centrifuges (solid‑ejecting separators) provide industrial separation solutions for crude vegetable oils, animal fats, fish by‑products and used cooking oils. Units cover capacities from about 50 t/day up to over 1000 t/day and can be configured with selected construction materials and accessories to meet production requirements.
Applications- Vegetable oil refining for human consumption
- Feedstock purification for biodiesel production
- Animal feed processing
- Chemical and industrial uses
Vegetable oil processing — what is removed- solid particles
- gums
- free fatty acids
- waxes
- soap
- water
Vegetable oil processing — typical stages- oil neutralization
- degumming and washing
- dewaxing and fats fractionation
Fish oil, animal fat and used cooking oil (UCO)MACFUGE centrifuges are engineered to process high flow rates, separate fluids with high solids content and treat high‑temperature streams. These capabilities suit the demands of processing fish and animal by‑products and purifying used cooking oils.
Additional notesHigh‑capacity solid‑ejecting separators are available in configurations prioritizing economy, technology or product quality. Machines are designed for continuous 24/7 operation. Explosion‑proof versions available (ATEX certified).
