Title:
MIXED LIQUID SEPARATION APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/038518
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This mixed liquid separation apparatus separates and extracts an oil and fat component, which has a lower specific gravity and higher viscosity than a coolant, from a mixed liquid in which the oil and fat component forms a surface layer as a result of floating to the surface of the coolant. The mixed liquid separation apparatus has a liquid separation and transfer part that is composed of a helical body, a shaft and rotary drive part. The liquid separation and transfer part is disposed in a vertical orientation such that the bottom of liquid separation and transfer part is inserted in a storage tank, which stores the mixed liquid, and separates the oil and fat component from the coolant and transfers said oil and fat component upward. The helical body has an inner end surface that is disposed so as to allow a band member, which is in sliding contact with the outer circumferential surface of the shaft, to orbit in a helical manner in a plurality of stages along the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical rod-like shaft. The oil and fat component, which adheres to the band member, is pushed up along the outer circumferential surface of the shaft due to the relative rotation of the helical body and the shaft.
