INDUSTRIAL CENTRIFUGAL SEPARATORS
The FREEDOM Series replaces the traditional gear transmission with an electronically controlled flat-belt drive system with a frequency inverter. This design reduces energy consumption by up to 35%, eliminates high-wear components, and enables gentle product handling that preserves fat globule integrity throughout every separation operation.
High-efficiency separation (residue ≤ 0.05%) with flat-belt transmission technology to reduce maintenance costs and energy consumption.
Separate the fat phase (cream) from the lean phase (skimmed milk) using density differences under centrifugal force. The flat-belt transmission guarantees a fat residue ≤ 0.05% with up to 35% energy savings. Capacities from 2,000 to 35,000 L/h.
Effective removal of somatic cells and casein fines, optimizing milk quality prior to pasteurization and protecting downstream filtration equipment.
Removes solid impurities (dirt, sand, somatic cells) that cannot be eliminated by conventional filtration. In whey processing, removes casein fines before skimming, achieving < 100 ppm residuals. Capacities from 3,500 to 60,000 L/h.
Shelf-life extension and prevention of fermentation defects in cheese.
Operate at 55–60 °C separating microorganisms denser than milk. Indispensable in fresh and semi-hard cheese production to prevent acid fermentation and late blowing defects that compromise product marketability. Capacities from 5,000 to 35,000 L/h.
"Plug & Play" unit with integrated instrumentation that automatically manages fat content, eliminating human error and guaranteeing consistency in the final product.
Integrates a centrifugal separator with complete instrumentation (flow and pressure transmitters, automatic valves, and HMI panel). Monitors and adjusts cream and skimmed milk flow in real time to achieve exact fat standardization, eliminating manual variability.
Precision automatic control to ensure a constant fat concentration in the cream line.
Manages cream fat content through a high-response continuous control loop, using a Coriolis mass flow meter and precision transmitters. Instantly adjusts output concentration to the exact set-point, compensating for variations in the feed.
Centrifugal separators are machines that promote the separation of products of different densities by applying centrifugal force. Separation occurs by the sedimentation principle, where centrifugal acceleration causes denser particles to move radially outward. Every Frautech separator combines the traditional robustness and reliability enabled by proper design and best-in-class mechanical materials. In addition to the advantages of the CA Model, the Freedom Series offers:
GENERAL ADVANTAGES
High mechanical efficiency. Lower energy consumption compared to gear transmission. Standard IE2 high-efficiency motors are used. Variable frequency drive (VFD) actuation as standard.
ENERGY SAVINGS
Avoid high energy consumption peaks at startup. 35% less energy consumed than gear-drive separators.
FREEDOM SERIES
The Freedom series has a flat-belt transmission. Motor speed is electronically controlled by a variable frequency drive to achieve a gradual startup ramp and smoother, more uniform operation.
EASY MAINTENANCE
The equipment ensures simple maintenance thanks to its free-end vertical spindle design, which allows quick belt replacement without disassembling any parts and facilitates rapid removal of the entire assembly.
EASY MAINTENANCE
No need to completely disassemble mechanical parts to replace the drive belt.
LUBRICATION SYSTEM
The innovative solid-shaft lubrication system ensures optimal flow even at low speeds and eliminates suction channels that require cleaning, ensuring extended bearing service life.
BOWL DESIGN — CLARIFIER
Maximum clarification rate due to ascending channels at the outer diameter. Disc stack adapted to the product (whey or milk clarification). Large-volume solids chamber to reduce the number of discharges.
BOWL DESIGN — SKIMMER
Ascending channels at the center. Disc stack and centripetal pumps adapted to the product (whey or milk skimming). Large-volume solids chamber to reduce the number of discharges.
BOWL DESIGN
Intelligent bowl design. Reduced number of parts. Only nine seals in the bowl. Reduced maintenance time.
OPERATING WATER
The optional operating water supply unit ensures the correct amount of water and required pressure are available at all times. Independent system disconnected from the customer's water supply.
REGULATION UNIT
Integrated regulation units. Back-pressure control valves for heavy and light phases are part of the separator. No additional devices needed in the discharge piping. Compact design with no extra costs. Milk fat standardization is possible. An automatic control system can optionally be supplied.
