In the waste olive oil industry of North Africa, effective separation of solids, water, and oil is essential for maximizing yield and reducing waste. To address this need, GN Separation recently delivered two sets of GNLWS554 Three Phase Decanter Centrifuges, complete with VFD control panels, to a client specializing in olive oil slurry treatment. This deployment marks a significant step forward in enhancing efficiency and sustainability in the region’s olive oil production process.
Why Choose GN 3 Phase Decanter Centrifuge?
GN Separation’s 3 Phase Decanter Centrifuge is engineered for solid-liquid-liquid separation, distinguishing it from standard 2 phase decanters by not only separating solids but also extracting two distinct liquid phases. This capability is crucial for industries requiring precise separation of oil and water from slurry, such as olive oil processing. With over a decade of experience in the separation industry, GN’s 3 phase decanter centrifuge stands out as one of the most advanced machines available for this type of application.
Key Features and Benefits
1. Continuous and Reliable Operation: The GN 3 phase decanter centrifuge is designed for 24-hour continuous and smooth operation. Its robust construction ensures longevity and minimal downtime, allowing for uninterrupted processing of olive oil slurry.
2. Advanced Material Composition:
- Bowl Material: Duplex Stainless Steel SS2205 for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance.
- Screw Conveyor Material: Duplex Stainless Steel SS2205 with tungsten carbide tiles for superior wear protection.
- Solids Discharge Port & Material Distribution Nozzle: Tungsten carbide inserts to withstand high abrasion and extend service life.
- Bearings: High-quality SKF or Japan NSK brand, ensuring reliable performance and extended operational life.
3. Flexible Separation Control: GN’s 3 phase decanter features an adjustable impeller that facilitates the discharge of the heavy liquid phase. This impeller can be fine-tuned during operation, allowing operators to modify the pond depth of the heavy liquid according to the varying proportions of the two liquid phases. This flexibility enables precise control over the separation process, optimizing results based on the specific characteristics of the olive oil slurry.
4. Efficient Driving and Control Systems: The GNLWS554 centrifuge is equipped with a VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) control panel, allowing operators to adjust the differential speed of the screw conveyor according to the feed material conditions. This adaptability ensures optimal separation performance under varying operational requirements.
