Clarifying decanters for edible oil refining
In oil refining processes, a significant challenge is ensuring effective press oil clarification. Traditional methods like hot seed pressing with leaf filters are complex and energy-consuming, leaving room for more efficient processes.
Combine degumming and foots removal seamlessly
The GEA ecoforce decanter is an advanced solution for press oil clarification in edible oil refining. This unit streamlines the process compared to conventional hot seed pressing plants with leaf filters. By combining foots removal with partial degumming, it simplifies the workflow, potentially making chemical refining more efficient. Furthermore, the GEA decanters are designed for ease of operation and automation, needing minimal space and saving energy as no pressurized air is required for cleaning. With a robust construction, they can handle oil temperatures up to 105°C. Featuring an external gear concept and oil-lubricated bearings, the decanters are built for continuous and heavy-duty operation, ensuring long-term reliability and performance. Suitable for high-temperature applications and continuous heavy-duty usage, it serves the edible oil, biodiesel, and re-refining sectors. The supplier, GEA, ensures high quality with wear-resistant materials making their ecoforce decanters especially durable.
