How it works
The incoming feed is effectively separated into oil and wet solids. To do this, the product is sent into a rotating bowl through a tube and accelerated by a rotor. Inside the bowl, a special screw conveyor helps efficiently separate the oil. This is done by using centrifugal force, which makes the lighter oil rise to the top while the heavier solids sink to the bowl's inner wall. Throughout the cylindrical part of the bowl, the oil is continuously extracted.
The design of the Prodec Oil Plus decanter plays a crucial role for the operational reliability and overall production capacity. The operation is remarkably straightforward, and this range of oil decanters can be effortlessly cleaned using flushing/CIP programs. The resulting oil is of exceptional purity, often necessitating minimal additional processing.
