Pectin extraction decanter centrifuge

In the food processing industry, extracting valuable compounds efficiently is essential to optimizing production. Traditional extraction methods often face challenges, such as lengthy production times and equipment wear and tear, affecting overall efficiency and yield.

Maximize yield with hygienic design

The GEA pectinMaster is a decanter centrifuge designed specifically for the extraction of pectin from plant materials. It stands out due to its high separation efficiency, especially effective when used alongside a GEA clarifier. One of its main features is the GEA varipond system that allows seamless adjustment of liquid levels during operation, optimizing yield even under varying conditions. The machine’s product-contacting parts are protected against corrosion and abrasion, ensuring long service life and reducing maintenance needs. Its hygienic design includes jet sprays and CIP (Cleaning in Place) programs to ensure thorough cleaning, reducing the possibility of product adherence and contamination. Featuring capacities that range from 1-60 m³/h depending on the model, it is adaptable to different production scales, making it suitable for a variety of food industry applications.
