Pectin extraction decanter centrifuge
Achieve precise separation and maximize yield in pectin and plant extract processing with advanced decanter centrifuge technology, ensuring high purity and efficiency in your production line.
Extracts and Separates Pectin and Plant Extracts
The GEA pectinMaster is a versatile industrial decanter designed for efficient extraction and separation of pectin and plant extracts. Utilizing a continuous high-speed centrifuging process, it streamlines yield optimization, making it integral for food and pharmaceutical production. The patented GEA varipond system allows dynamic yield adjustments, adapting liquid levels to conditions in real-time. With processing capacities ranging from 1 to 60 m³/h, the pectinMaster effectively handles liquid, solid, and slurry product types, reducing energy consumption with its non-product contacting GEA summation-drive. The equipment’s hygienic design, featuring low-wear components and CIP capabilities, ensures easy maintenance and longevity. Built with corrosion-resistant high-alloy stainless steel, the pectinMaster conforms to stringent safety standards, including gas-tight decanters for ATEX compliance. This machine supports diverse industry requirements with customizable configurations, making it a reliable choice for enhancing productivity and ensuring purity in end products such as pectin powder, herbal extracts, and dietary supplements.
