Clarifying decanter for starch recovery
Efficient starch recovery is critical in industries such as food processing and pharmaceuticals, where it is necessary to dewater starch and other components effectively. Traditional methods often struggle with inconsistent solid discharge, leading to costly downtimes and maintenance.
Achieve maximum dry matter with minimal intervention
The GEA clarifying decanter is designed specifically for starch recovery, focusing on dewatering starch, pulp, fibers, and proteins, as well as separating fruitwater. This decanter features Active Torque Control (ATC), which eliminates the stick-slip effect common in starch processing, ensuring consistent solid discharge. The ATC system uses sensor-based monitoring to detect torsional vibrations and automatically adjust the differential speed, preventing mechanical damage and reducing downtime. The decanter’s hygienic design provides exceptional cleanability, and its robust construction with high-quality wear protection components ensures long-lasting operation. Additionally, the automatic optimization of torque and differential speed means the decanter runs energy-efficiently, constantly maintaining maximum dry matter content regardless of feed conditions.
