ο  Krauss-Maffei peeler centrifuges with rotary siphon : By utilizing the rotary siphon feature, an original ANDRITZ KMPT development, the overall performance of the peeler centrifuge can be improved considerably. Substantial advantages include:

ο  Increased filtration capacity : Creating a vacuum beneath the filter cloth increases the filtration pressure and boosts the filtration rate.

ο  Superior product purity : The filtration rate can be adjusted to prolong the contact time between wash liquid and solids to produce a purer cake.

ο  Extended residual heel service life : Regeneration of the residual heel is achieved by means of backwashing through the filter medium.

ο  Smoother operation : As a result of backwashing and throttling of the filtration rate, the siphon feature enables feeding into a liquid pool to achieve uniform distribution of solids without vibration, even with fast-filtering products.
