Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device, a system and a method for treating a suspension, preferably containing plant components, in particular the separation of a liquid or a solid thereof, in the field of food, drug and beverage production and corresponding uses.
  • a filter layer of material originating from the suspension, in particular plant components, is often formed on the filter.
  • a disadvantage of the conventional procedure is that the plant components preferably contained in the suspension led to an early blocking or laying of the treatment and in particular separation device, which in turn had an extension of the required treatment or separation time result. Therefore, there has long been a desire to significantly shorten the process step of separation of the suspension or even to realize it as a continuous process step. In practice, a reduction in the separation times of plant-based suspensions has not been achieved so far, despite the recent development and optimization of existing separation systems. l definitions
