Disc Separator RSE70-01-776 Applications
The RSE70-01-776 is special designed for degumming, neutralization, washing, winterization, fractionation of vegetable or animal oils and fats.
This separator has been designed for use in the edible oil industry. The product is fed into the bowl through a closed-line system with hydrohermetic feed. The light liquid phase (clean oil) is discharged foam free under pressure by a centripetal pump. The heavy liquid phase (soap stock or gums) is discharged by another centripetal pump. The separated solids are collected in the solids holding space and are ejected at preset intervals through ports. Partial and total ejections are possible. The self-cleaning bowl makes the machine suitable for fully automatic cleaning-in-place (CIP).

Operating principles
The oil to be separated is fed into the separator bowl from the top through a feeding pipe, and enters the disc stack. The heavy phase and heavy sludge are forced towards the periphery of the bowl, while the light phase flows towards the centre of the bowl, from where it is pumped out for further processing.
-The light component (oil) is discharged by the lower centripetal pump E at a pressure of 3 bar maximum.
-The heavy component (soapstock or a similar pasty substance or wash water or Iiquid soap) is discharged from the bowl under pressure by the upper centripetal pump. It flows off by gravity through the lower discharge.
– The solids component is periodically discharged through solids ejection ports.
