Disc Stack Centrifuge for Fruit Juice Clarification
The centrifugal juice disc separator is a vertical disc stack centrifuge used to separate suspended solids from juice and, where the bowl configuration permits, immiscible liquid phases. Typical processing examples include tomato, lemon, orange and mango juice. Indicative application conditions include feed solids of 1%–15% and particles above 0.5 µm; suitability should be checked against the actual feed and required clarity.
The machine consists of an inlet and outlet assembly, rotating bowl, vertical and horizontal shafts, housing, speed measurement and braking devices, and a motor. A centripetal pump can transfer separated liquid to downstream equipment. The stated outlet pressure range is 0–0.5 MPa, subject to the selected configuration and operating conditions. Dynamic balancing supports stable high-speed operation; PLC control can be specified for automated operation.
How the Disc Stack Juice Separator Works
Feed enters the rotating bowl through the inlet and is accelerated by the distributor. Inside the disc stack, centrifugal force moves denser solids outward while clarified liquid follows its designated discharge path. Depending on the bowl and process configuration, a second liquid phase can also be separated. Collected solids are discharged at preset intervals by the bowl's hydraulic mechanism. The drawing identifies the inlet, distributor, disc stack, liquid outlets and solids-discharge components; the final flow arrangement should be confirmed for the specified juice duty.
Features of the Centrifugal Juice Disc Separator
- PLC control can manage partial or full solids discharge in the specified configuration.
- The high-speed bowl is dynamically balanced to support stable operation; vibration should be monitored during use.
- Product-contact parts are specified as stainless steel; confirm the final material grade in the quotation.
- Compact vertical construction helps integrate the separator with upstream juice extraction and downstream processing equipment.

Disc Centrifuge Operation and Troubleshooting
- If solids do not discharge, inspect the operating-water path and solenoid valve for blockage or malfunction.
- If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, stop the machine and inspect internal wear or accumulated residue before restarting.
- If solids discharge unexpectedly, check the operating-water inlet for sludge or other blockage.
Disc Stack Centrifuge Technical Parameters
The following DC-500 and DC-750 model data are provided for reference. Confirm capacity for the actual juice, solids load and process conditions before ordering.
| Model | Bowl Speed(r/min) | Capacity(L/h) | power(kw) |
|---|---|---|---|
| DC-500 | 6200 | 8000-15000 | 18.5 |
| DC-750 | 4900 | 50000-80000 | 55 |
Packaging and Shipping of the Disc Separator
The machine and components are wrapped to protect against dust and packed in an export wooden case with a pallet for handling. Final packing depends on the equipment configuration and shipment.
