Double decanter for plant-based beverage extraction

Maximize protein yield and enhance extraction efficiency in your plant-based beverage production with this high-speed solution, ensuring optimal separation and decanting of liquid and solid components.

Efficiently Extracts and Separates Plant-Based Liquids

The Tetra Pak® Double Decanter is a robust solution for separating and extracting plant-based beverage components. Utilizing a differential speed technology, it optimizes yield and quality by adjusting sedimentation levels. Ideal for plant-based milks like oat, almond, and soy, it operates continuously at high speeds, processing up to 8,000 kg per hour. The decanter’s hygienic design incorporates CIP cleaning devices and SaniRibs® for superior cleanability, minimizing bacterial growth risks and ensuring high performance. It features a pressurized discharge system that maintains product integrity by reducing air integration and foam during formulation. The decanter is fully automated and integrates effortlessly with existing production lines, offering control through PLC systems. Its industrial-grade construction ensures durability and low maintenance in demanding food and beverage applications.
