- Standardisation capacities of 8,000–14,000 l/h → Covers available direct-drive dairy sizes.
- Compact machine layout → Helps save floor space in process areas.
- Lower transmission losses → Can reduce drivetrain energy consumption compared with indirect drive.
- Disc-stack centrifugal separation → Retains the established separation principle.
- Dairy, beverage and brewing applications → Extends direct-drive benefits across selected process duties.
- Reduced wear-item count → Simplifies planned maintenance and spare-parts inventory.
- AxFlow application and service support → Helps optimise configuration and lifecycle planning.
Seital Direct Drive is intended for separation processes where installation space, transmission efficiency and drive maintenance are important. The concept is available on selected Seital centrifuges for dairy, beverage, brewing and other process duties. AxFlow can help determine whether a direct-drive configuration matches the required capacity, product and cleaning concept.
In a direct-drive centrifuge, the motor is mounted directly on the bowl shaft so the motor shaft and centrifuge shaft form one drive line. This removes gears, belts and other intermediate transmission parts. The separation principle remains the same: a high-speed disc-stack bowl uses centrifugal force to separate liquid phases or suspended solids.
SPX FLOW publishes direct-drive milk-skimming capacities of 5,000–10,000 l/h and standardisation capacities of 8,000–14,000 l/h for available dairy sizes. Official product information also highlights reduced transmission losses, compact footprint and lower maintenance demand compared with conventional geared or belt-driven arrangements. Capacity, materials and discharge system still depend on the selected separator. The published dairy capacities apply to the referenced direct-drive sizes and should not be assumed for beverage, brewing or other duties without application review.
Fewer drive components can reduce transmission-related service tasks and spare-parts inventory while freeing floor space in crowded process areas. Lifecycle performance still depends on the bowl, bearings, seals, controls and cleaning regime. AxFlow can support configuration, commissioning, service and spare parts planning.
