INNOVATIVE SOLID BOWL CENTRIFUGE TECHNOLOGY

point. In the majority of situations,
this is sufficient to remedy
the overload without having
to shutdown the system. If this
measure is insufficient to keep
the scroll torque from rising,
the bowl drive is shut down
when the torque reaches the
second set point.
As the bowl speed decreases,
the torque is reduced and the
machine will usually empty
itself. Typically there is no need
PLC decanter controller
for manually removing the
solids. Machines with hydraulic
drive or SIMP-DRIVE ® enable
solids discharge at full-torque
scroll operation during the
bowl shut down.
FLOTTWEG provides all machines
with adjustable differential
speeds (hydraulic drives,
dual VFDs and SIMP-DRIVE ®
drives) with this control system.
The range of control systems
covers a basic version
with a hydraulic-mechanical
analog control via an electronic
industrial control system to
programmable logic controllers
(PLC) and integration into distributive
control systems (DCS).
All electronic systems allow for
remote control and monitoring.
Programmable controls support
a variety of complex links
and monitoring for plant
systems (e.g. CIP and automated
process steps).
