SENZ Decanter CentrifugeTechnology for the Production of Avocado Oil
PROCESSING AVOCADO OIL USING THE SENZ TRICANTER® AND SEPARATOR
The Tricanter® separates the avocado pulp into the fruit pulp, oil and water phases. Then, the separator purifies the oil phase and removes ultrafine impurities. This process is gentle to the product and is appropriate for producing the highest grade of avocado oil. Processing with SENZ SeparationTechnology results in a high oil yield and clear avocado oil.
In other words: in highest possible yield and customer satisfaction.
Three phases with the highest selectivity
More than 45 years ago, Shenzhou -SENZ developed the Tricanter® to separate three phases in a single simultaneous process. The prerequisites for this are that the liquids are not soluble in each other, that they have different densities and that the solids phase has the highest specific weight. On this basis, the specially designed impeller system produces optimum separation results. for example, in the treatment of oily sludges, in starch production and in fat recovery.
Three-phase separation offers users several advantages: The combination of the processing steps eliminates the need for additional separation stages, which results in considerable cost savings.
How the Shenzhou-SENZ Tricanter® works
The design and function of the Shenzhou-SENZ 3-phase centrifuge is similar to that of a decanter (two-phase separation). Solids settle on the inner wall of the bowl when subjected to centrifugal force. The scroll constitutes the conveying tool. Under centrifugal force, solids settle on the inner wall of the bowl.
The decisive difference to the decanter lies in the separate expulsion of the two liquid phases: With the Tricanter®, the heavy liquid is discharged under pressure via an adjustable impeller. The light liquid flows off without pressure. The impeller allows infinite adjustment of the pond depth during operation and thus fast, precise adaptation to changing feed conditions - without interrupting operation.
The SENZ Tricanter® and its customer benefits
• Highest possible purity of the liquids to be separated by using the impeller
• Experience of more than 40 years enables maximum continuity, versatility and performance
• Other processing / separating stages can be dispensed with, or are no longer required, thereby offering cost savings for the plant owner
• Adaptation to changing conditions (product in the feed) possible at any time
• Automation is possible
The SENZ discharge system and its advantages
• Solid discharge operations that make hardly any noise
• Precise partial or full discharges in any combination for maximum product yield
• Reduced wear on the highly loaded components
• Reduced number of bowl seals
• Meet an extremely wide range of customers' requirements because of variable control of the separator
