BWS centrifugals – over 100 years experience and innovation for the food processing industry
Continuous centrifugals
The application areas of the fully automatic BWS continuous centrifugals cover solid-liquid sepa-
ration of crystalline massecuites in the food processing industry. Most frequent applications in the
processing of sugar cane and sugar beets are high viscosity raw sugar and low-grade massecui-
tes.

BWS double continuous centrifugals – double centrifuging for effortlessly optimal results
Double continuous centrifugals
The patented Buckau-Wolf double continuous centrifuge system combines four successive process
steps: 1st centrifuging – mixing – 2nd centrifuging – melting. This type of centrifugal is the world-
wide front runner for the processing of raw sugar and low-grade massecuites from sugar beet
and sugar cane. The double continuous centrifugal is also used for white sugar massecuite which
will be further processed.
Design features and advantages
Advantages over the conventional process with
two continuously running centrifugals
Space-saving
Energy saving of approx. 50%
Continuous and automatic control of the
massecuite proportional to the auxiliary
media
The centrifuged sugar skips a boiling step
Less crystal damage (approx. 10%) through
omission of a mixing stage and a pump
Outstanding product quality with approx.
96% colour removal
Housing
Distortion-resistant and stable design
Easy access to both baskets, for example
when changing top screens
Installation of sampler connecting sleeves at
the operator’s platform

Batch type centrifugals
The application areas of the fully automatic BWS batch type centrifugals cover solid-liquid sepa-
ration of crystalline massecuites in the food processing industry. The most frequent applications in
the processing of sugar cane and sugar beets are white and raw sugar massecuites and crystal-
line suspensions in the processing of dextrose and fructose.

The Buckau-Wolf continuous counter-current extraction system can be manufactured in very large
individual units for all sizes of factories. In line with the most up to date technology sugar extrac-
tion is carried out with minimal use of heat energy.
Development started in 1954
Since then, continuous further development to
incorporate the latest progress in design, ma-
terials, manufacturing and technology
Plants to handle capacities from
3,000 to 14,000 metric tons per 24 hours
BWS honeycomb calandrias – maximised heating surface to minimise boiling process costs
Vacuum pans with honeycomb calandria
A special advantage of the honeycomb is that it can be relatively easily retrofitted in existing sys-
tems (ribbon, lenticular, tubular calandria etc.)
Pan station with honeycomb calandria, the idea came from nature
Advantages of the honeycomb calandria
Largest possible heating surface with com-
pact over-all dimensions
Smallest possible incrustation area at the
upper side of the calandria (75 % less than
for a tubular calandria)
Saving of steam for steaming out the pan of
the same order of magnitude
Excellent flow conditions guarantee
a homogenous massecuite
Dead zones and local overheating reduced
to a minimum
BWS honeycomb calandrias – hexagonal, well-rounded for optimal results
Buckau-Wolf System
BWS retrofit concept Nevertheless
Use of existing installation Significantly improved performance
No changes to controls or piping Honeycomb segments ready for
installation
No modification of the building
Up to 25 % greater heating surface
Lower maintenance costs and long life
Just the optical comparison is the convincing proof for this solution
