Concept
Centrifugation is a method for separating mixtures of solid and / or liquid components by using rotating equipment with high g-forces such as decanters, centrifuges and separators.
Centrifugation
Applications
Vogelbusch evaluates and specifies the separation requirements considering the feed and product properties and incorporates the suitable rotating equipment from trusted producers into its processes.
In alcohol production decantation is an approved measure to remove suspended solids from stillage and for the recovery of corn oil. In starch sweetener processing it is applied for demudding of raw glucose solution prior to filtration.
In combination with crystallization processes different types of batch and continuous centrifuges are deployed in citric acid and dextrose production.
Nozzle and disk separators are used in yeast manufacturing.
Application in Technologies
„Based on the reconstruction according to the consulting by Vogelbusch, the rectification plant now shows fully satisfactory fine alcohol quality yield and performance."Dr. Wilkening, KWST, Rectification Unit, Hannover, Germany
