Use of a Centrifugal Separator to Separate Grape Seeds from Marc: Mechanical Settings and Thermographic Evaluations

A centrifugal separator was used to find the best mechanical and electrical settings to separate grape seeds from marc efficiently. Three different reel rotation speeds (400, 500, and 600 rpm) and two different distances between blade and cylinder (A condition = 2.0 mm and B = 10.0 mm) were evaluate...
