Clarifying decanter for food ingredient processing
In the food processing industry, the recovery and concentration of proteins and other valuable components from raw materials like soy, rice, and peas are critical. Challenges such as contamination, energy inefficiency, and protein loss need effective solutions to ensure high-quality output and operational efficiency.
Maximize protein recovery with minimal energy consumption
The GEA Clarifying Decanter is designed for efficient recovery and concentration of various proteins and food ingredients. It features a high differential speed range without pulley adjustments, providing flexibility for multiple applications. The system operates with full torque at all times, ensuring consistent performance. External gears segregate the process and drive rooms, preventing cross-contamination. The GEA summationdrive optimizes power flow, while the patented GEA varipond® allows for on-the-fly adjustments to pond depths, enhancing separation efficiency. The hygienic design meets all food safety requirements, and hydrohermetic operation via the paring disk reduces protein loss and saves energy.
