Food & Beverage Industry

Summary: With the rapid development of the economy, people's living standards have gradually improved, and the understanding of healthy diet has been deepened. As people's requirements for dietary health increased, the demand for edible plant protein, various types of berry and vegetable juices, various types of vegetable oils, and various types of high-end wines is increasing. In choosing the protein, animal protein often contains fat, high cholesterol. The improvement of modern living standards increased the intake of fatty foods, which is an important factor for the increasing incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases; while plant proteins avoid this deficiency of animal protein. Therefore more and more people choose plant protein food with low fat. Plant protein is an ideal selection for people with high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, and diabetes. It is suitable for cold, roasted, and fried with delicious taste.

Equipment for Food & Beverage Industry

2 Phase Decanter Centrifuge In food and beverage processing, for solid-liquid separation, food-grade decanter centrifuges are commonly used. GN 2 phase decanter centrifuge is of high-speed rotating, the large-scale high-speed decanter centrifuge with G force more than 3200G. It can do extraction, separation and acid precipitation for soybean protein and other plant proteins. Its advantages are high protein yield, high protein content, low solids content of bean water, and low cost in disposal into the waste water treatment site. The decanter centrifuge is small footprint, simple for operation, large handling capacity, low energy consumption, high automation, and low labor cos. GN high-speed 2 phase decanter centrifuge is favored by many plant protein manufacturers.

3 Phase Decanter Centrifuge GN 3 phase decanter centrifuge is often used for solid, liquid, liquid 3-phase separation in food, edible oil, and beverage processing. Main application is like the processes of starch production or oil extraction. The material should be that 2 phase liquids are immiscible with each other, different in density, and the solid is the heaviest phase. Different from 3 phase disc stack separator, 3 phase decanter centrifuges can be used for high solid content material 3-phase separation as liquid, liquid and solids.

2 Phase Disc Stack Separator In food and beverage processing, the 2 phase disc stack separator is, characterized by its high G force (12000G), widely used to clarify liquids or to separate the finest solids from liquids, such as clarifying of juices, beer, wine, apple Wine, vegetable oil, etc. GN 2 phase clarification disc separator has the features most suitable for the clarification process, and can also discharge solid residues in the liquid. Different from 2 phase decanter centrifuge, 2 phase disc stack separator can only clarify materials with lower solids content, but the clarity is higher than that of 2 phase decanter centrifuge.
P3 2 Phase Disc Separator
3 Phase Disc Stack Separator It is normally using 3 phase disc stack separator to separate two liquids with different densities. GN 3 phase disc stack separator can separate liquid phases with different densities and simultaneously precipitate fine solid residues. In the food and beverage industry, it is often used for the separation of animal and vegetable oils and the extraction of plant components.

Solids Vacuum Pump GN solids vacuum pump is a pneumatic pump with strong self-priming ability, vacuum degree up to 25 inches of mercury, and long discharge head. In the food industry, the solids vacuum pump can be used for automatic suction of bulk materials and long distance conveying, as well as the cleaning of bulk materials or liquid tanks.

Food & Beverage Industry Common Application

Soy Protein Extraction and separation, Acid Precipitation and Separation Separation valuable proteins from plants. GN C series high speed decanter centrifuge and disc separator are suitable for each procedure of the protein extraction and acid precipitation. Such as protein extraction, acid precipitation, washing, concentration and clarification. The purpose is to extract as much high quality protein as possible from soybean.
Extraction and Recovery of Animal Protein Animal protein processing technology: meat scraps crushing, heating, buffer tank, centrifugal separation (Residue: make feed; Liquid: oleoprotein; Liquid: wastewater treatment plant to meet the standard for discharging), centrifugation (Liquid: oleoprotein; Residue: make feed). In the centrifugation process, GN P series 3 phase high-speed decanter centrifuge is used to extract crude fat protein. The obtained crude fat protein needs to be purified and separated by GN 2 phase disc stack separator. The remaining small amount of residue is separated to make the oleosin more pure.
Pea Protein Extraction and Separation, Acid Precipitation and Separation Pea protein processing technology: cleaning, peeling, crushing, extraction, centrifugation, acid precipitation, centrifugation, desiccation, neutralization, sterilization, flash evaporation, filtration, high pressure homogenization, spray drying, cyclone separation, cloth bag sedimentation, screening, grinding, and finished product packaging. GN high speed C series decanter centrifuge could be used in the procedure of centrifugation after extraction and centrifugation after acid precipitation to separate the pea starch and pea protein; and then GN C series decanter centrifuge and disc stack separator could be used to separate the pea protein and water, bean clear water is discharged to wastewater treatment plant for further treatment then discharged.
Potato Protein Extraction and separation Potato protein processing technology: juice de-foaming, acid adjustment, preheating, secondary heating, high temperature flocculation, centrifugal extraction, flash drying, filling; in the centrifugal extraction stage, GN high-speed C series decanter centrifuge could be used to separate potato protein from juice with high protein yield and high protein content.
Starch Separation and Extraction: potato starch, cassava starch and sweet potato starch Potato, cassava, sweet potato starch processing technology: cleaning, disintegration, soaking, secondary disintegration, screening, sand removal, refining, bleaching, concentration, dehydration, drying, packaging, storage; the screening process requires GN GNZS series vibrating screen; GNZJ series de-sanding cyclone separator is required for sand removal process; GN disc separator is used for concentration process, and GN C series high speed decanter centrifuge performs dehydration. The C series high-speed decanter centrifuge makes higher yield of the dehydrated starch with lower water content. It can replace the GK series horizontal scraper filter centrifuge in the old process.
Starch Separation and Extraction: wheat starch, pea starch, corn starch, etc. Corn, wheat, pea starch processing technology: raw materials, cleaning, soaking, rough grinding, degerming, fine grinding, screening and slag removal, crude starch milk, refined (protein separation), refined starch milk, dehydration, drying, screening, packaging. the screening process requires GN GNZS series vibrating screen; GNZJ series de-sanding cyclone separator is required for sand removal process; GN disc separator is used for concentration process, and GN C series high speed decanter centrifuge performs dehydration.
