Applications of CRPX510 Separator
The CRPX510 separator is a medium-sized solids-ejecting centrifuge specially designed to concentrate citrus oil emulsion.
The CRPX510 separator is able to separate two immiscible liquid phases of different densities, and any solids present. It is most frequently used to concentrate citrus oil emulsion from extractors. The concentrated emulsion is then further polished in another separator.
The CRPX510 disc stack centrifuge meets customer demands for gentle oil treatment, outstanding separation efficiency, easy installation, easy operation, and good serviceability.

Operating principles of CRPX510 Separator
Separation takes place inside a rotating bowl. The oil is introduced to the rotating centrifuge bowl from the top via a stationary inlet pipe, and is accelerated in the distributor , which is specially designed to ensure smooth acceleration of the feed liquid. Leaving the distributor, the oil enters the disc stack. The separation of oil, water and solids takes place between the discs, with the oil phase moving through
the disc stack to the centre, where it is then discharged into the upper collecting frame. The water and heavy solids separated from the oil move out to the periphery, and the water is led via channels in the top disc to the lower collecting frame. The solids content is collected in the periphery, from where it is discharged intermittently into the solids collecting cover below the bowl. The solids discharge
is carried out using a hydraulic system, which forces the sliding bowl bottom to drop down at suitable preset intervals, thus opening the solids ports at the bowl periphery.
