FLOTTWEG SE

The Flottweg Z-Series offers decisive advantages for our customers that make us special. Providing the extra efficiency: — Continuous operation — Optimum separation result and energy recovery due to customized bowl and screw geometry — complete wear protection thanks to high-quality stainless steel and robust design — compact and space-saving machine design — Quality Made in Germany

Like all machine sizes in our C series, the C5E is also equipped with optimum wear protection. This reduces maintenance costs, as only wear parts need to be replaced. At the same time, this ensures a longer service life and high machine availability. The Flottweg features Recuvane® and Simp Drive® make the simple, efficient and individual operation of the centrifuge perfect.

A decanter can be thought of as a settling basin that wraps around an axis. In the settling basin, the solid particles that are heavier than the liquid move to the bottom by gravity and form a sediment at the bottom of the basin. In the rotating drum of the centrifuge, the solid particles that are heavier than the liquid move outward by centrifugal force and form a sediment on the inner wall of the centrifuge drum. Since forces of about 3000 g occur in a centrifuge, as opposed to 1 g in the gravitational field, the separation of the solid particles from the liquid is much faster and more efficient.

Reliability isn't just a keyword for Flottweg – it expresses the company's philosophy. We want our customers to get results with Flottweg that can't be beat. That requires reliable machines, reliable service, and staff whose passion for perfection shows throughout the manufacturing process. The newly developed Flottweg Z2E brings us a huge step towards that goal. This decanter centrifuge is flexible, maintenance-friendly, and powerful. With its easy-to-open cover, Flottweg makes access to the main components quick and easy, with no need for lifting equipment. Together with another feature – the super deep pond – the Flottweg Z2E highlights the know-how that has gone into this decanter. Top flexibility and quality characterize the Flottweg Z2E, which has been Engineered For Your Success.

Flottweg Technology serves over 1000 applications worldwide. Each of these engineering processes are as individual as our Z series decanter centrifuges. From the food to the pharmaceutical industry to the processing of by-products - so specific, individual and optimized, our Z series can meet many challenges with flying colors. Hygienic design, for our customers where cleanliness matters, can be guaranteed in every machine. Special ATEX protection ensures safety and our own Simp Drive® drive system make the technological performance perfect.

We know the special requirements of the wastewater industry. Flottweg therefore decided to create a new decanter series solely manufactured for sludge separation, called the Flottweg C Series.

Are you looking for an optimal and highly efficient solution for your process? Then our Z-series is the right one for you. These Flottweg High-Performers can be used in the food industry, mining or even the recycling of by-products - and these are just a few examples. With very low maintenance and the best quality of our components, you can be sure that the Flottweg decanter will meet your requirements. If you are one of Flottweg's customers for whom cleanliness and hygiene are particularly important, we will be pleased to build your machine according to the hygienic design.

Honored with the German Innovation Award 2019, the Xelletor series is one of the greatest achievements in the field of sewage sludge. Dewatering sewage sludge is standard for wastewater treatment plants and since it usually has to be transported away, operators have an interest in separating as much water as possible from the sludge. This saves weight and thus reduces costs. Savings of up to 10% in sludge volume and 34% in energy consumption are possible. Our Xelletor high-performance centrifuge inspires customers all over the world with the many years of technical know-how and innovative spirit behind it.

From algae harvesting to beer clarification and protein extraction: If you want to separate or purify liquids or remove ultra-fine particles you need strong and robust separators. Where decanter centrifuges reach their performance limits, the use of separators begins. Thanks to their high speeds, they are able to optimally process liquids. Clarifiers (2-phase separation), separate the finest solid particles from a liquid. As purification separators (3-phase separators), they separate liquid phases of different densities and simultaneously remove solids. Equipped with special features as the Flottweg Soft Shot® discharge system our products belong to the high qualitative products on the market.

Flottweg has developed a unique centrifuge concept especially for the high-level dewatering of sewage sludge: The Flottweg Xelletor series. For the wastewater treatment plant operator, dewatering offers enormous savings potential. The costs for transport and disposal of dewatered sewage sludge often account for 80% of the operating costs of mechanical dewatering. The dewatering performance of the Xelletor machine is significantly better than that of our predecessor models. And it's setting new standards in terms of throughput, dry substance, and polymer and energy consumption.
