Decanter for plant-based beverage extraction
Ensure high-yield extraction and optimal purity from plant-based ingredients with this solution, designed to efficiently separate fibers and retain valuable nutrients in your beverage production process.
Extracts and Clarifies Liquid from Plant-Based Slurry
The GEA CF Decanter Centrifuge is an essential tool for plant-based beverage producers seeking high efficiency in liquid extraction. It utilizes a high-speed separation process to effectively remove fibers and retain valuable nutrients like starch and β-glucans. Designed for continuous operation, the decanter centrifuge integrates seamlessly into processing lines and handles high solid capacities with its intelligent kinematics drive system. Ideal for applications such as oat, almond, soy, and rice milk production, it supports up to full torque at maximum differential speeds, ensuring optimal throughput. This centrifuge is energy efficient, using frequency-controlled motors for real-time speed adjustments, reducing energy consumption. Constructed with stainless steel components, it meets strict hygiene standards and is CIP-capable, facilitating easy cleaning. The GEA CF Decanter is compliant with FDA material standards, making it a reliable choice for maintaining product integrity in food and beverage operations.
