Degumming systems for edible oils

Efficiently Degums and Purifies Edible Oils

Alfa Laval’s degumming systems are designed to enhance the quality and yield of edible oils by effectively removing hydratable and non-hydratable gums, phospholipids, proteins, and other impurities. These systems utilize a combination of disc stack centrifuges, mixers, and plate heat exchangers, allowing for continuous, high-speed processing that integrates seamlessly into existing production lines. Ideal for edible oil refineries and food processing companies, these systems support a wide range of applications, producing end-products like margarine, olive oil, and soybean oil.

The equipment operates using modular, automated components that ensure operational reliability and efficiency, contributing to increased uptime and service life. By employing enzymatic, water, acid, and special degumming processes, Alfa Laval systems optimize the pre-treatment stage, minimizing gum content and operating costs while maximizing oil yield and product quality. The systems are also engineered for energy efficiency, leveraging advanced motor control to reduce energy consumption. Constructed with durable materials, the systems are built to handle demanding operational conditions, ensuring long-term performance and corrosion resistance. Customization options and engineering support are available to meet specific production needs, making Alfa Laval’s degumming systems a vital component in the edible oil refining industry.
