Mechanical liquid/solid separation is an important process step in the production of fruit and vegetable juices, beer, coffee, wine or spirits. High quality, optimum yields, and gentle treatment of natural resources are critical factors. Belt presses are used for the continuous extraction of fruit and vegetable mash offering an efficient design with easy accessibility. A pneumatic belt-control system ensures reliable operation. Disc stack centrifuges separate trub from juices, beer, coffee, wine and must. Separators enable reproducible partial discharges as well as partial and total discharges. Decanters are used where liquids with a high solids content have to be clarified like the continuous extraction of fruit mash and can process suspensions with a high trub content. Decanters also also utilized in the continuous clarification of waste water. Flottweg machines for the beverage industry are made out of hygienic stainless steel and can be individually adapted to each separation task.
