Working principle of disc centrifuge
The working principle of disc centrifuge is based on the action of inertial centrifugal force. When the county suspension flows into the gap between the high-speed rotating discs through the center tube under the action of the dynamic pressure head, inertial centrifugal force is generated. Among them, the solid particles with higher density move to the lower surface of the upper disc under the action of centrifugal force, and then are thrown outward under the action of centrifugal force, sliding down along the lower surface of the disc to the periphery of the rotor. The liquid with lower density, driven by the subsequent liquid, flows along the gap of the disc to the center of the rotor, then rises along the central axis and is discharged from the casing, thereby achieving the purpose of separation.
Application of disc centrifuge in virgin olive oil industry
1. Centrifugal separation of olive pulp:
In the production process of virgin olive oil, olive fruits are washed and crushed to form pulp. These pulps contain olive oil, water, pomace and other ingredients.
The disc centrifuge can effectively separate the olive oil from other ingredients in the pulp. This step is a key link in the production of virgin olive oil and directly affects the quality and yield of olive oil.
2. Further purification of olive oil:
Olive oil obtained after initial centrifugal separation may still contain trace impurities and moisture.
In order to further improve the quality of olive oil, a disc centrifuge can be used for further separation and purification. By adjusting the parameters and process conditions of the centrifuge, trace impurities and moisture in olive oil can be removed to achieve higher quality standards.
Advantages of disc stack centrifuge
1. High separation efficiency:
disc stack centrifuge uses high-speed rotating discs to quickly separate the mixture into solid and liquid parts. At the same time, due to the large number of discs and their close arrangement, the separation effect is more significant.
2. Strong adaptability:
disc stack centrifuge can handle materials of different concentrations and viscosities and has strong adaptability. In the production of virgin olive oil, the parameters and process conditions of the centrifuge can be flexibly adjusted according to different material characteristics and process requirements.
3. High degree of automation:
modern disc stack centrifuges are usually equipped with advanced control systems that can realize automatic operation. This greatly reduces the difficulty and risk of manual operation and improves production efficiency and product quality.
Notes
1. Equipment selection:
When selecting a disc stack centrifuge, factors such as material characteristics, processing volume, and separation requirements need to be considered. Ensure that the selected equipment can meet production needs and has good performance.
2. Operation and maintenance:
When operating a disc stack centrifuge, it is necessary to follow operating procedures and safety requirements. At the same time, regularly maintain and service the equipment to ensure that the equipment can operate stably for a long time and maintain good separation effects.
Disc stack centrifuges have broad application prospects and significant advantages in the virgin olive oil industry. By reasonably selecting and using disc stack centrifuges, the production efficiency and product quality of virgin olive oil can be greatly improved.
