Decanter provides large clarifying area

Westfalia Separator Food Tec GmbH has developed CE 345, a wine decanter designed for medium-sized operations with its capacity of up to 5000 l/h. The decanter can be used as a multi-function machine for must trub processing, tank bottom processing or tartrate removal. The optimised bowl design of the decanter ensures a large clarifying area to give maximum separating performance in every area of application, the company says.

The CE 345 is equipped with the "Delta power T" drive for automatic torque measurement and differential speed regulation. This drive differs from conventional gear drives in that an additional secondary gear and secondary motor are used. This construction allows infinitely-variable, torque-dependent differential speed regulation, Westfalia says. The high regulating accuracy permits extremely small differential speeds giving optimum dewatering of the solids, which always provides maximum yields in tank lees processing and an excellent quality of the finished wine.
