Benefits of the ANDRITZ decanter centrifuge F for food processing

Several functionalities: heavy or light phase discharged under pressure and two-phase machine for more production flexibility

Ability to accommodate customer needs and provide best performance due to modular design

Maximum security with vibration, bearing temperature, and motor probes, washing nozzles integrated into frame and not in cover

Low maintenance cost and easy dismantling with unique inline design

Low oxygen pick-up due to discharge under pressure from a hermetically sealed chamber Optimum product quality thanks to special feed chamber, ensuring gentle treatment

Long service life due to robust design and high-grade materials

Tailor-made for specific needs

To achieve optimal clarity and dryness of solids, the rotor design can be customized for your needs with standard or low angles, L/D ratios, and open or plain flight scrolls. ANDRITZ offers various gearbox options in different materials to fine-tune scroll speed. The decanter includes gravity (tangential or vertical) or pressure discharge (centripetal pump or adjustable skimmer) to ensure the best liquid discharge for your application.

Whatever the level of finishing, you can benefit from the following standard scope of supply:

g-Force up to 3,500g

3 types of motorizations dedicated to your application

Protection against abrasion (Tungsten carbide replaceable wear parts or special material on scroll flight)

All wetted parts in Stainless Steel or Duplex

Standard washing points (solid casing, liquid casing, feed tube double skin)

Bowl washing ramp and special added washing points for performance and sanitary machine

Adjustable skimmer in operation

Improved production efficiency

The ANDRITZ decanter centrifuge F enhances production efficiency through high throughput, optimized energy consumption, advanced automation with, and robust construction, which together reduce operational costs and downtime while increasing productivity.

Achieving desired product characteristics and consistency

Thanks to superior dewatering performance and a special feed chamber that enables gentle treatment, best product quality is ensured. Also the adjustable skimmer plays a crucial role when it comes to product quality as it ensures - among others - better clarification.
