The separator is equipped with a self-cleaning disc-type bowl. The product flows into the bowl through inlet and is separated in disk stack into a light and a heavy liquid phase with simultaneous removal of the solids which collect in the sediment holding space. The light liquid phase flows towards the center and is discharged foam-free and under pressure by centripetal pump through outlet.

The heavy liquid phase flows to the periphery and is discharged under pressure by centripetal pump through outlet.

The separated gums and solids collect in sediment holding space and are instantaneously ejected through ports at pre-set intervals by lowering the sliding piston. Closing water drains via the bowl valve. The ejection cycles are initiated by a control unit. This controller is for each machine within the overhaul rebuilt on the individual process flow of customers and the latest technology (Siemens S7).
