Parallel Plate Separator (PPT) 001

The Parallel Plate Separator (PPT) is a high-performance, cost-efficient device for extending the lifetimes of waterbased process baths. Increasing requirements on the purity levels and service lives of water-based cleaning- and degreasing baths, grit cooling agent emulsions, and other industrial fluids, require an effective solution. The Parallel Plate Separator (PPT) removes oil, sludge, suspended solids and sediments from the moving and warm process baths in a highly effective and automatic way while the plant is in operation. At the same time, employees are protected from odour nuisances and contaminations because uninhibited bacteria growth is prevented. The PPT operates on the basis of the combined effect of gravitation and coalescence, without use of chemical additives. Thanks to this combined effect, very low secondary-phase residual concentrations can be achieved at the drain without any further secondary treatment. Simultaneously, the gravitational effect in the PPT guides solids to the bottom of the device.
