Foodec decanter centrifuge for food processing
In the food and beverage industry, maintaining high hygiene standards is essential to comply with stringent sanitary regulations. Efficiently separating solid and liquid phases in delicate products while ensuring easy cleaning is critical.
Enhance separation efficiency and hygiene
The Alfa Laval Foodec decanter centrifuge is designed for food processing applications requiring meticulous separation of solid and liquid phases. Featuring a horizontal cylindrical bowl with a screw conveyor, this centrifuge ensures effective separation through centrifugal forces that compact solids on the bowl wall. The conveyor, rotating at a slightly different speed, transports solids towards the discharge openings for efficient dewatering. Constructed from stainless steel and equipped with advanced control systems, the Foodec unit provides easy and fast cleaning with CIP technology. It offers two-phase gravity liquid discharge or pressurized liquid discharge options to adapt to various processing needs. The innovative design also includes optional features like the Foodec Hygiene Plus for enhanced cleanability. Ideal for applications such as beer production, meat processing, and plant-based protein production, the Foodec decanter centrifuge delivers high yield, low energy consumption, and reliable operation.
