Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012049118A1] A method for the continuous processing of a product, especially of a plant or animal oil or fat, by way of phase separation into at least two liquid phases, preferably while additionally clarifying solids, the processing of the product taking place in a centrifuge that is designed as a separator which has a rotatable drum (1) in which a disk stack (8) having risers (7) and a product feed (4) and at least two gripper elements (13, 16) for leading off a light and a heavy liquid phase (HP) from the drum and solid discharge openings (10) for leading off a solid phase (5) are provided such that during operation a separation zone between the light and the heavy liquid phase (HP, LP) is formed in the centrifuge, is characterized in that the lead-off radius for leading off the heavy liquid phase is adjusted when the viscosity of the heavy liquid phase changes beyond at least one threshold value.
