Liquid separator AS 2

Draining liquids from a steam flow

Sterility in packaging for viscous food or drinks should at all times be ensured during the filling process. Sterile conditions are obtained by moistening thoroughly with peroxide containing water. After that the sterilizing agent must be removed entirely.

AS 2

TASK // Perfect return of the condensate into the process

For this purpose the water film evaporates by means of UV light, and the damp air is exhausted. A liquid separator then extracts the peroxide / water mixture from the air and returns it to the tank. One major challenge in this cycle is the high volume of output condensate for this kind of sterilization. Corrosion resistance of the plant components is one of the key criteria for processing the harsh peroxide safely and reliably in the long term. They must fulfill the strict FDA requirements in all respects.

SOLUTION // Liquid separator AS 2

The compact mechanical Mankenberg centrifugal separator AS 2 achieves a separating performance of up to 99%. It reliably operates without being affected by counterpressure or pressure fluctuations and is equipped with an integrated condensate trap. The separator was customized in accordance with the customer’s wishes. A connection option for sensors was provided, the outlet was moved downwards. The seat bore and the float were adapted to the volume of arising condensate. The body of deep-drawn stainless steel 1.4404 and special silicone gaskets ensure the device’s resistance to the aggressive medium. A large choice of connections (aseptic, ANSI or DIN flanges, NPT, welding ends) as well as the vast amount of gasket materials make the AS 2 a real allrounder.
