Decanter centrifuge for protein extraction
Protein recovery from meat, fish, and plant sources requires precise and efficient separation of valuable components. Traditional processing methods can be inefficient, leading to loss of yield and high energy consumption, particularly in applications such as meat rendering, fish meal production, and vegetable protein isolation.
Efficiently separates protein and fat fractions
The decanter centrifuges from Alfa Laval offer advanced solutions for protein extraction across varied applications. These centrifuges, known for their robust design and wear protection, enhance the recovery of protein fractions, fats, and oils. Key models include DRNX for technical grade recovery, FDNX for feed grade applications, SANX for food grade applications, and MRNX for sensitive food grade operations. Each model provides specific benefits, such as temperature resistance, customizable configurations, and certification-compliant seals. With operating temperatures ranging up to 130°C and easy-to-replace tungsten carbide wear parts, these centrifuges ensure excellent clarification, high recovery rates, and dry cake outputs, making them ideal for industries such as fish and meat processing, vegetable protein production, and gelatin manufacturing.
