Separation Technology
Separators and decanters are centrifuges with which solids can be removed from liquids or liquid mixtures can be separated with simultaneous removal of the solids.
Clarifier
Highperformance decanter
Development starts with research. But developments in the laboratory have to be translated into products. Westfalia Separator achieves this by working closely together with research institutes, universities and industry. The result are innovative developments in the field of separation technology. Centrifuges as single machines or integrated in complete process lines make possible the realization of new process techniques while at the same time making the production processes efficient and economical.
Centrifugal separation technology with separators and decanters play key roles today in the
s Clarification of liquids s Separation of liquid mixtures s Concentration and dewatering of solids s Wet classification s Extraction of constituents.

Cleanness of the industrial fluids is absolutely essential in any kind of installation. Foreign matter in the hydraulic oil or lube oil must therefore be separated out as quickly as possible. Centrifugal separators do this job efficiently and reliably.
Separators are also applied for the treatment of cooling oils or cleaning liquids. The life of the industrial fluid is prolonged considerably. Practical experience has shown that operating times are increased many times over.
