Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0348639A2] It is proposed for a process for separating liquid parts and fine granular parts from a sugar suspension to obtain the control variables for controlling the centrifuge from measurement of the surface density of the filtercake which is produced in the centrifuge during the centrifugation process. A radiometric measurement can be used for this in particular. It is possible to derive from the time course of the surface density plots based on such a measurement of surface density the relation with the physical composition of the filtercake at the time of measurement, from which in turn the control variables can be derived, for example for the addition of water and the length of the washing phase. <??>The control of a process of this type is therefore possible completely automatically and with optimal quality in a straightforward manner with a single continuous measurement. <IMAGE>
