AFPX 610 - : Creating Value From Waste

The AFPX 610 centrifuge is designed to separate emulsions with high efficiency. It uses high centrifugal forces to clarify and purify outputs from the animal and fish processing industry, such as meat and fish extracts, gelatin, and fats and oils. Special features include a gentle feed acceleration system and evaporation of final water traces from the oil phase. The centrifuge can process up to 20 cubic meters per hour of feed while withstanding high pressures and temperatures.

AFPX 610 - Creating value from Waste

Animal & Fish protein Separator

High g-forces, high demands on clarification capacity and


outstanding reliability – These are the main criteria that have
formed the basis for the design of the new AFPX 610 centri-
fuge.

Applications
The AFPX 610 is a solids ejecting disc stack centrifuge
designed for intermittently discharge of solids, while splitting
a tight emulsion of two liquids. It is mainly used in the animal
and fish processing industry, where it is used for a number of
different separation and purification duties, such as:

- Meat and fish extract


- Gelatine clarification
- Fats and oils purification

Special Features
The AFPX is designed to separate at very high g-force to
improve purification and clarification of any feed. The device
that accelerates the feed up to the speed of the rotor, is
specially designed to do so in a gentle manner, which further
helps to increase the separation performance.
The outlet of the AFPX 610 is designed to give the oil phase
a final polish. When the oil phase is sprayed out into the col-
lecting frame, the last traces of water is separated from the oil Standard equipment

Operating principles 5

Separation takes place inside a rotating bowl. The feed is 2

introduced to the rotating centrifuge bowl (fig 2) from the top


3
via a stationary inlet pipe (1), and is accelerated in the distribu-
6
tor (2), before entering the disc stack (3). The distributor is 4

designed especially to ensure smooth acceleration of the feed


liquid (4). The separation of liquid-liquid-solids takes place
between the discs, with the oil phase moving through the disc
stack to the centre and is discharged through pipes (5) and
sprayed out into the collecting frame. The water and solids
separated from the oil moves out to the periphery, the water
is led via channels in the top disc (6) to the paring chamber,
where it is pumped out of the rotor with means of a built-in
paring disc (7). The solids are collected in the periphery, from
where it is discharged intermittently via the centrifuge cyclone.
The solids discharge is achieved by a hydraulic system which

at preset suitable intervals forces the sliding bowl bottom (8)
to drop down and thus opening the solids ports at the bowl
periphery. Fig. 2 Typical bowl drawing for a solids-ejecting centrifuge. Drawing
