Decanter centrifuge for bioethanol production
Optimize bioethanol production with enhanced separation efficiency, enabling reduced waste and maximized resource recovery, transforming stillage into valuable products like DDGS and corn oil efficiently.
Streamlines Bioethanol Centrifuging and Deoiling
The GEA Decanter Centrifuge is an essential component for bioethanol producers looking to enhance production efficiency. Featuring a deep-pond design and variable frequency drive (VFD), it excels at high-speed separation and deoiling. Capable of processing large volumes continuously, it is integral for transforming slurry into bioethanol, DDGS, and corn oil. With energy efficiency prioritized, this centrifuge reduces consumption by up to 30%, making it cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Its robust construction with wear-resistant tiles and tungsten carbide ensures low maintenance and long service life. Fully automated, it integrates seamlessly into existing systems, offering precision control through advanced PLC interfaces. Available with various material options, it withstands harsh processing conditions, guaranteeing reliable operation in food, beverage, chemical, and agricultural industries.
