Solutions for separators and decanters
Separators and decanters are used to separate liquids and solids and work on the principle of a centrifuge. The high speeds of rotation in these systems require particularly robust and yet precise sealing solutions.
Separators and decanters work at extremely high rotational speeds to separate out solids and to dispose of these by means of submersible components or continuous feed through a screw conveyor.
In both systems, the rotating components which are also extremely heavy, need to be reliably sealed off. Furthermore, in a separator, components are shifted axially under high pressure to expel the solids. These components need to be really leak-tight against each other and against the housing respectively.
The rotating and axially shifting sealing points require top class seals and top class material. This is why Freudenberg Process Seals uses elastomer materials of different degrees of hardness, depending on the load and the medium used. In the case of the highest mechanical loads, particularly in the area of the exit slits in separators, we offer particularly robust polyamides as the sealing material.
