The optimal machine geometry of Flottweg's C-Series considerably reduces electric power consumption. Efficient acceleration of the product in the feed zone combined with very specific internal scroll designs result in smaller installed horsepower requirements and lower overall power consumption of the motors (up to 20 to 30%). In addition, current customers confirm the current configuration of the C-Series maximizes both reliability and availability.

Lower investment costs

Due to higher internal sedimentation volume, the capacity of a similar-sized machine is increased by 10 to 20%, which ultimately results in lower investment costs since it is now possible to use a smaller machine for the same feed rate without suffering in processing performance. This helps the end user overcome capacity bottlenecks without sacrificing centrate or discharged cake quality. Since the summer of 2008, more than 50 decanters of the C-Series have been installed and run in different waste water applications including the dewatering and thickening of sewage sludges all with excellent results. The three available models C3E, C4E, and C5E cover processing ranges from 10 to 90 m3/hr (44to 396 gpm).
