Clarifying decanter for starch recovery

Ensure optimal dewatering and separation of starch, pulp, and fibers with this high-performance clarifying decanter, designed to enhance efficiency and reduce operational costs in continuous production environments.

Dewaters and Clarifies Starch and Protein Mixtures

The Clarifying Decanters for Starch Recovery from GEA are engineered to optimize dewatering and purification processes in starch and food production. These decanters employ a continuous, automatic multi-stage system that efficiently separates and clarifies starch, pulp, fibers, proteins, and fruitwater, ensuring maximum dryness and clarity. Commonly utilized for producing native corn starch, wheat starch, and protein isolates, the system supports high-volume operations in food, beverage, and chemical industries. The Active Torque Control feature minimizes energy consumption by dynamically adjusting torque and speed, reducing drying costs. Constructed from high-quality materials with robust wear protection, these decanters ensure long-term durability and are designed for easy cleaning and maintenance with hygienic features. Tailored automation solutions offer seamless integration into existing production lines, enhancing overall operational efficiency.
