Summary of the project

With models currently available on the market, the product flow has to be interrupted regularly in order to clean the collected metal particles from the separator. The newly developed concept is designed to carry out this process during operation so that the product flow no longer needs to be interrupted regularly.

Further objectives are a very high degree of separation in order to guarantee the best possible product quality, the elimination of lubricants for use in the food industry and improved energy efficiency compared to conventional systems. Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences is responsible for carrying out experimental tests, whereby extensive measurements can be taken and analysed thanks to the outstanding technical equipment of the pilot plant.

Accompanying the project, a numerical simulation is being carried out to investigate optimisations for the design and to make predictions for the separation behaviour with different product types.
