Clarifying decanter for food ingredient processing

Processes and Clarifies Plant-Based Proteins and Algae

The clarifying decanter centrifuge from GEA is engineered for high-efficiency protein recovery across multiple applications. Utilizing a robust summationdrive system, it operates at high differential speeds without requiring pulley changes, ensuring continuous and adaptable separation processes. Ideal for the concentration of soy, rice, and pea proteins, this centrifuge enhances the production of tofu, textured vegetable proteins, and algal supplements. It accommodates rigorous plant-based protein separation, handling both solid and slurry forms efficiently.

Capable of integrating seamlessly within existing production lines, the centrifuge supports continuous automated operation and offers adjustable pond depths via the patented GEA varipond® weir system, optimizing dewatering and minimizing energy consumption. Constructed with hygienic design principles, it adheres to stringent food safety standards, while its external gear segregation and separate lubrication ensure extended durability and minimal contamination risk.

Available with stainless steel options for enhanced corrosion resistance, the equipment supports CIP (Clean-In-Place) systems for efficient maintenance. This flexibility, combined with customization services from GEA’s engineering support team, allows adaptation to specific throughput requirements, ensuring compliance with industry regulations.
