Double decanter for plant-based beverages

Optimize your plant-based beverage production by achieving high protein yield and smooth liquid bases with precision separation and decanting technology.

Separates and Extracts Liquids for Plant-Based Beverages

The Tetra Pak® Double Decanter offers a specialized solution for plant-based beverage producers, featuring a high-speed centrifugal design that excels in separating and extracting liquids and solids with precision. Its differential speed mechanism allows for fine-tuning of both yield and product characteristics, ensuring optimal quality for oat, almond, soy, and a variety of other plant-based milks. This decanter handles capacities of 4,000 to 8,000 kg per hour, supporting continuous operations vital to the food, beverage, and dairy alternative industries. Engineered with a hygienic design and equipped with cleaning-in-place (CIP) capabilities, it ensures superior hygiene standards, critical for food safety. The pressurized discharge system minimizes air incorporation, reducing oxidation risks and supporting foaming-free formulations. Integration into existing production lines is seamless, offering automation options for enhanced process control and energy efficiency.
