Liquid discharge
Separate light- and heavy-liquid outlets
Adjustment described
Adjustable impeller for the heavy liquid

The manufacturer describes fats/oils and food-related applications alongside other industries. Its page includes a new FW400 presentation and approximate dimensions for Z-series equipment; this record does not combine those tables into a single model specification.

Outlet pressure and adjustment responsibilities

The official process description distinguishes an unpressurized light-liquid outlet from the heavy-liquid outlet discharged under pressure through the adjustable impeller. It also describes Simp Drive adjusting differential speed according to scroll torque. These operating features were checked on 7 October 2026.

Define the receiving pressure and outlet arrangement, feed variability and adjustment scope in the proposal. The source explicitly includes wheat-starch production, alongside industrial and residue applications; this is an application reference, not proof that every recovered stream is an accepted edible product. Keep the FW400 presentation separate from the approximate Z-series dimensional table.

Questions to settle before a quotation

  • Do the two actual liquid phases separate under the proposed feed conditions?
  • What residual solids and cross-phase carryover are acceptable at each outlet?
  • Which model, materials, wear protection and service scope are offered?

Ask bidders to state trial material, accepted output, losses, utilities, changeover time and scope exclusions in writing. Compare the offered configuration using the same recipe and acceptance criteria.

Supply boundaries

Three-phase separation is not evidence that every emulsion can be separated without preparation. Approximate family dimensions are not throughput. No ready stock, edible-product acceptance or matched-line guarantee is inferred.

Common questions

Are price or availability confirmed?

Request a dated regional quotation identifying the model, materials, options and service.

Can a family claim be used as acceptance criteria?

Agree the actual feed, outlet specifications, trial period and measurement method in the offered configuration.

Sources & record scope

Official manufacturer pages checked on 4 October 2026. Product facts are attributed; route maps and buyer questions are editorial planning aids. Confirm the offered configuration with the manufacturer.
