Screw press for vital wheat gluten dewatering
Optimize your production line with efficient moisture reduction for vital wheat gluten, enhancing drying capacity while minimizing energy consumption and operational costs.
Removes Excess Moisture from Wet Gluten
The Dewatering Screw Press for Vital Wheat Gluten by GEA efficiently reduces moisture content in wet feed material, crucial for the food, gluten, and industrial drying sectors. Its specialized conical screw mechanism compresses gluten against perforated plates, extracting water before the drying stage. Designed for continuous processing, it integrates seamlessly into production lines, featuring an automatic cleaning system with a high-pressure CIP capability, ensuring both food safety and operational reliability. This press handles diverse product inputs, including slurry and cake forms, processing them into end-products such as pet and livestock feed or vital wheat gluten with reduced energy consumption. Constructed for robust performance, the press operates automatically, minimizing manual intervention and downtime through its patented cleaning technology. Suitable for industrial scaling, it offers a flexible single or twin press design, tailoring capacity needs while reducing running costs.
