Whey skimming separator Espin ES450D

Cream separator for warm whey skimming. Self cleaning disc stack centrifuge machine with flat belt drive and automatic discharge. Separation of mixtures of liquids with different densities and simultaneuous elimination of solids (Three Phase Separation). This process separates the fat content in the whey (present is a small percentage, between 0,15% and 0,70%). It is simpler as the milk proces, if there are low curd fines. The whey should be filtered before entering the separator. Process temperature: 35°C - 40°C. Skimming efficiency, measurable in terms of the percentage of residual fat in the whey, is between 0,02% and 0,03%. Ther percentage may also be lower if the whey is pre-clarified.

Whey skimming capacity: 15.000 liter per hour.

The new offered whey skimming separator comes with:

• Steel frame, cladded in stainless steel AISI 304.
• Bowl with disc stack, made out of special SUPER DUPLEX stainless steels with very high resistance to mechanical stress and corrosion.
• Discharged of the product (skim whey and whey cream) by means of 2 centripetal pumps.
• Discharge of the solid substance (collected in the periphery of the bowl in the sludge chamber) periodically automatically ejected, by partial or total discharge.
• Motor (18,5 kW - 400 V - 50 Hz - 3 Phase)
• Motor cover of stainless steel.
• Manometer on the outlet of skimmed whey and whey cream.
• Operating water control valves.
• Steel base frame to be mounted inside the concrete floor, with 4 feet above the floor surface.
• All parts in contact with the product are made of AISI 304/316 stainless steel.
• Control panel with Siemens PLC, touch screen and integrated internet remote connection.
• Booster water pump to ensure constant pressure and flow of the operating water.
• Testrun (Factory Acceptance Test) at the factory.
• Packaging for transport and loading inside truck / container.
• Instruction and spare parts manual.
• Set of tools for disassembling/assembling the bowl.
• Spare parts kit for first maintenance.
• Three years warranty (except ordinary wear and tear components).
• Built according to European safety and health standards as required by the machinery directive 2006/42/EC and subsequent amendments.

Several reasons to by this new separator:

• Good value for money (purchase price / technical execution).
• Excellent separation / cleaning efficiency.
• Machine is easy in maintenance.
• Reduction of operating costs.
• Technical know-how, dynamic, innovative and many years of experience of the Espin team from Italy.

Optional can be offered:

• Platform in AISI 304 stainless steel. This platform does not need to be fixed on the floor (concrete). Strongly advised to buy this with the separator, becasue to guarantee maximum machine reliability and minimize on-site installation times. The assembly of the separator, the electrical panel and the complete control of the operating water are directly build on the AISI 304 stainless steel platform and carry out pre-testing in the factory. In on-site installation it will be possible to limit the start-up times to just installing the bowl and do the final testing. Dimensions of the frame: 228x138x186 (including control panel), weight frame and separator: ± 1.700 kg.
• Remixing circuit (standardization set) with 1 micrometer valve, for cream surplus, including flowmeter.
• Skimmed whey outlet constant pressure valve.
• Automatic feeding shut-off valve. 
• Transport to factory of the client.

Installation and start up on site, including maintenance and training how to use the separator (additional costs for tickets, visa applications, travel, board and lodging of the engineer).
