Definitions

  • the object of this invention is a process for the drawing of quantities of oil of different qualities by means of a centrifugal extractor and an appropriate centrifugal extractor capable of performing such differentiated extraction.
  • centrifugal extractors substantially comprising a scroll fitted inside a rotary drum and rotating in turn relative to the latter, which effect within the drum the separation and stratification of the various components of the product which is comprised of a solid part and two fluid parts of varying specific gravity.
  • the product to be separated comprises a substantially solid part, known as olive residue, which constitutes the waste; a first heavier fluid part, substantially consisting of water, which is also considered as waste; and a second, lighter fluid part substantially consisting of oil which forms the valuable part to be separated and recovered independently of the other two.
  • centrifugal separating machines of known type the product to be separated is normally fed to the machine in the form of crushed pulp with added water which, in the centrifugation phase becomes disposed radially to increase an intermediate separating layer between the solid and the oil, thereby bringing about improved separation of the oily component from the solid component.
  • the first oil to flow out is that extracted from the oil-bearing cell which, being already agglomerated, is readily extractable, while the last oil obtained from pressing is that located in the interstice between one cell and another, which is less mature and therefore of inferior quality.
  • the solid bottom residue on flowing out of the centrifuge, carries with it part of such valuable fluid component with a consequent reduction of yield and/or the need for a subsequent additional recovery operation, as well as part of the heavy fluid component which makes it necessary to maintain the product at a low level within the drum to enable the solid residue to drain to the greatest possible extent from the valuable component prior to flowing out of the extractor.
  • a further aim of this invention is the provision of a centrifugal extractor for products consisting of several components of varying specific gravity which make it possible to reduce to a minimum the quantity of valuable lighter fluid component flowing out of the separator together with the solid residue and to achieve at the same time the direct drawing of oils of different qualities including direct drawing of the oil of second or third choice which is normally lost with the residue, or recovered by subsequent separating operations applied to the said solid residue.
  • a further aim of the invention is to provide centrifuging systems capable of performing differentiated extraction of oils of different qualities.
  • a centrifugal extractor is essentially comprised of a fixed, substantially cylindrical casing 1, provided at its opposite ends with annular sections separated from one another and opening downward, forming radial collectors 1a, 1b, 1c for the recovery of the different components of the product to be separated which, in the particular case of processing of olives, are formed respectively by solid residue, known as olive residue, heavy fluid residue, consisting of water, and oil.
  • a rotary hollow drum 2 of substantially cylindrical-truncated cone shape, which is mounted on bearings 2a to enable it to rotate relative to casing 1, the drive for the said drum being of conventional type and therefore not shown in detail.
  • Such scroll 4 is substantially comprised of a hollow cylindrical-truncated cone body on which are formed outflow apertures for product 5 fed into it, in the direction of arrow P, by means of a pump, not shown, and a coaxial duct 5a.
  • a helix 4b which, on rotating in the direction opposite that of the drum, forces the solid residue to flow toward appropriate outlet 1a.
  • tube 5a concentrically to tube 5a is located a further tube 105 for the supply of water to the extractor.
  • Such water flows under pressure from holes or nozzles 105a and brings about fluid stratification which tends to promote a cleaner separation between the oil and the olive residue in the water outflow zone.
  • Front wall 2b of drum 2 has three pairs of holes, the first two pairs 6 and 7 of which are respectively located according to diameters perpendicular to one another, with different circumferences concentric to one another, and the third pair 8 is located according to a diameter forming an angle of 45° relative to the other two and a circumference with a radius smaller than that of the two pairs of holes 6 and 7.
  • the two pairs of holes 6 and 7 are located at a greater distance from the axis of rotation of scroll 4 and drum 2 than that of the third pair of holes 8, which are therefore closer to such axis of rotation.
  • holes 6 are associated with an outflow duct 6a ending in radial collector 1b where the lighter fluid component is collected, while holes 7 are associated with an inverted overfall duct 7a ending in radial collector 1c where the heavier component of product 5 is collected.
  • Holes 6 are furthermore closed in the axial direction by plugs 6b shaped with extensions 6c in order to bring about the opening or closure of duct 6a following the rotation of plug 6b in one direction or the other, thereby bringing about, in one case, the outflow of water on its own via hole 6 or, in the other case, the outflow of water together with the solid residue via opposite collector 1a.
  • the extractor operates with only two outlets (figs. 5 and 6): one 8 for the oil and one 1a for the olive residue and water.
  • a disc 9 provided with a concentric circular aperture having diametrically opposed, substantially rectangular slots 9a, capable of bringing about the opening of ducts 8 for the outflow of the light fluid component, in the case of an extractor having only two outlets.
  • the scroll of the centrifuge according to the invention is completed by a disc 11 or like solid piece fitted concentrically to said scroll 4.
  • the outside diameter of such disc is greater than the diameter of the circumference on which are located holes 8, so that the disc constitutes a barrier for separation in an axial direction of the oil of first pressing, which is forced into the drawing zone in an axial direction via such holes 8.
  • the centrifugal extractor according to the invention also provides further means for drawing the lighter fluid component in a radial direction, consisting of tubular pieces 12 inserted radially into drum 2 via holes 2d thereof, in such a way as to emerge at a point axially posterior to disc 11 in the direction of flow of the solid towards its own outlet 1a.
  • Such tubular pieces 12 have an inner end 12a located in relation to the level of stratification of the fluid component which it is required to collect, while opposite end 12b, located outside drum 2, flows into a collector 101 within fixed casing 1.
  • Such collector makes it possible to convey the drawn fluid toward duct 101a for the outflow and collection of the said fluid.
  • tubular pieces provision is also made for such tubular pieces to be located on the circumference of the drum in positions such as to maintain the dynamic balance of the separator during rotation. Furthermore, although the inclination of the tubular pieces with respect to the surface of drum 2 may be at any angle, it is obvious that the arrangement of radial tubes makes it possible to utilize the full centrifugal force determined by the rotary movement for the extraction of the oil in a radial direction.
  • the operation of the device is as follows: whether it is desired to process the product according to a so-called two-phase cycle (that is, with a single axial outflow of the valuable fluid and a single outlet for the intermixed solid residues and fluid), (fig. 5), or whether it is desired to process the product according to a so-called three-phase cycle (that is, with separate outflows of oil, water and solid), (fig. 2), there is brought about via disc 9 the opening or closure of the various extraction ducts from wall 2b, so that, as shown in fig.
  • Such radial drawing therefore reduces the quantity of oil which flows out with the residue, thereby increasing the overall output of the centrifugal extractor.
  • Such radially recovered oil constitutes the so-called oil of second pressing, i.e. that which requires longer centrifugation time in order to become separated from the oily pulp and which therefore, by not emerging rapidly, cannot be extracted axially to avoid reducing the quality of the oil of first pressing.
  • centrifugal extractor may be extended to processing with a liquid ring of thick section (fig. 5) and to the production of olive residue with a high moisture content.
  • the outlets in this case would be three in number, because of the presence of the new radial outlet.
  • annular zone of containment of the valuable fluid of second pressing which, in addition to being maintained more steady with respect to the direct current flow toward the outlet of the solid, may be better purged of the occurrence of any residues of water and solids still suspended in the oil.
  • Each radial drawing corresponds to a well-defined quality of oil which, if drawn via corresponding collectors 101 independent of one another, may be maintained separate.
