Used GEA Westfalia CRA-160-96-076 Brewery Clarifier Centrifuge – 6,800 RPM

Description

Used GEA Westfalia Model CRA-160-96-076 desludging disc stack clarifier centrifuge with 316 stainless steel product contact surfaces, hydrohermetic feed system and centripetal pump liquid discharge. Configured for liquid/solids separation, the rotating disc stack separates denser suspended particles from a liquid stream, collecting solids at the bowl periphery for discharge while clarified liquid exits under pressure. The hydrohermetic feed system provides gentle product introduction to limit shear during feed acceleration. Maximum bowl speed is 6,800 RPM. Features a direct-drive motor rated at 30/36 kW, approximately 40/48 HP, with listed motor speeds of 1,465/1,760 RPM. Motor electrical ratings are 380–420 volts at 50 Hz and 440–480 volts at 60 Hz, 3-phase. Includes a stainless steel control panel and tools. Previously used in a brewery application. Serial number 1720 033. Possible applications include beer clarification, yeast and suspended solids removal from fermented beverages, and clarification of compatible brewery process liquids, subject to product characteristics, solids loading and separation requirements.

Product Details

Potential Applications

• Beer clarification to reduce suspended yeast and other separable particles.
• Yeast removal from compatible fermented beverage streams.
• Brewery process-liquid clarification.
• Clarification ahead of downstream filtration where process requirements support centrifugal solids removal.

Throughput and clarification results depend on liquid properties, solids loading, particle characteristics and operating conditions.

What Products Would This Be Used For?

Potential feed materials include:

• Beer containing suspended yeast.
• Fermented brewery liquids containing separable solids.
• Compatible fermented beverages requiring yeast reduction.
• Brewery process streams containing residual suspended particles.

Previous brewery use is documented. Specific products and processing duties require application review.
