Separation of brewer pellets in a vibratory-centrifugal centrifuge

Abstract

The article reflects the process of dehydration of brewer pellets, as one of the ways to solve the problem of their utilization in order to obtain a highly concentrated feed for farm animals, which is an urgent task. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the interrelation between the technological and physical properties of the brewer pellets during the separation of brewer pellets into dense and liquid fractions in a continuous vibratory-centrifugal centrifuge and its main design and operating parameters. As a result of the research with the analytical method, process and physical properties of brewer pellets are determined when they are interacting with the perforated rotor blades of a vibratory-centrifugal centrifuge. The equations for the yield of the liquid fraction of brewer pellets through the rectilinear and curvilinear rotor blades are obtained, indicating the interrelation between process and physical properties of brewer pellets, which are necessary for determining the rational basic parameters of the proposed vibratory-centrifugal centrifuge.
