Centrifugal Stone Separator

Product catalog summary

Overview
The Centrifugal Stone Separator is designed for root and tuber vegetables, functioning as both a stone separator and a pre-soak tank to facilitate easier subsequent washing. It efficiently removes stones and foreign matter with higher specific gravity than the produce, using minimal water consumption when combined with a washing machine.

Specifications
The separator operates on the principle of an upward-oriented water stream, adjusted to be faster than the setting velocity of vegetables but slower than that of stones. This ensures only heavier foreign bodies are discharged. The system requires a downstream processing unit, such as a washing machine, to recycle water back into the separator.

Technology
The device comprises a cyclone top with agitator, base frame, conveyor belt, and circulation pump. The cyclone top includes cylindrical and conical parts with a tangential outlet. Maintenance is simplified with easy access to the stone discharge belt and cleaning hatches. Flow rate adjustments are made via a frequency converter or control valve. The standard model is constructed from painted steel, with options for stainless steel.

Centrifugal Stone Separator The product is fed into the cyclone from above by means of a conveyor. The Centrifugal Stone Separator can only be used if another processing unit is connected downstream (washing machine for example) into which the flume water can flow. The water can be supplied again into the Centrifugal Stone Separator from that unit. The produce is sluiced through the discharge chute into the washing machine while the stones are carried out on the inclined conveyor. The Centrifugal Stone Separator does not incur significant water losses as it operates in a circuit. Due to its large...
