Buckau-Wolf Centrifugals

Leading separation performance, energy efficiency, minimal water consumption and advanced operational safety standards are the quality characteristics of Buckau-Wolf.

Buckau-Wolf discontinuous centrifugals are used in the production of white sugar and raw sugar massecuite in the sugar industry, dextrose, mannite, xylite, isomalt and fructose massecuite, sugar substitutes,
suspensions of similar consistency in the chemical and food industries

Drum design

Buckau-Wolf discontinuous centrifugals have a very lean drum design.

Advantages

  • Maximum separation performance through very high spinning factors of up to 1,500 g
  • Colour removal up to 98 %. The residual moisture in white sugar massecuite can be reduced to as little as 0.5 %.

Minimal usage of water- and energy

Buckau-Wolf discontinuous centrifugals work with minimal water resources to avoid sugar loss and an extremely low power consumption of less than 1 kWh/batch in the production of white sugar.

Buckau-Wolf controller

Buckau-Wolf discontinuous centrifugals use a controller developed by Buckau-Wolf which fulfils extreme requirements of our customers.

Advantages

  • Precise, exactly reproducible massecuite layer thicknesses in every cycle due to continuous monitoring of filling quantities
  • The BWS controller enables optimum use of drum capacity in each batch
  • Integration of the controller into higher-level process control system
  • System-wide communication network enables intelligent locking of connected centrifugals

Easy to use

Buckau-Wolf discontinuous centrifugals are easy to use and come with comprehensive diagnostic features.

Advantages

  • Language-independent, self-explanatory GUI on the operating panel
  • Intuitive operation due to high degree of automation
  • Quick, comprehensive diagnostic features to localise and analyse errors and avoid downtime in the event of malfunction
  • Extra functions for service support


Operational Safety

Buckau-Wolf discontinuous centrifugals offer extremely high operational safety.

Advantages

  • Implementation of the latest EU Machinery Directive EN13849-1(level D)
  • Safe shutdown in the event of malfunction without batch loss
  • Option to integrate a monitoring system for continuous analysis and diagnosis of all rotating parts as well as a function for the automatic transfer of status and error messages via text message or e-mail

Buckau-Wolf continuous centrifugals C2500 and C3000 continuous centrifugals are used to process viscous massecuite produced from sugar cane or sugar beets, in particular raw sugar, low-grade product, low-grade product affination, and sugar substitutes.

Buckau-Wolf continuous centrifugals offer a variety of benefits:

  • Excellent ease of operation due to low housing height
  • Easy sampling of the white run-off, green run-off, and sugar at the operator level
  • Long service life through well-dimensioned bearings with a reinforced drum shaft
  • Robust, low-vibration bearing construction. Drive motor and bearing at the same level, therefore no relative movement to each other

In addition, Buckau-Wolf GmbH offers an option to integrate a monitoring system for continuous analysis and diagnosis of all rotating parts as well as a function for the automatic transfer of status and error messages via text message or e-mail.
