GN Hydraulic Drive Decanter Centrifuge for Overseas Starch Production Project
Recently, GN Separation has successfully completed the manufacturing of one set hydraulic drive decanter centrifuge destined for overseas deployment in a pivotal starch production project.
The Role of Hydraulic Centrifuges in Starch Production
Hydraulic centrifuges play a pivotal role in the starch production process, where they are employed for the efficient separation of starch granules from the slurry obtained after wet milling. This critical step ensures the purity and quality of the final starch product, which is essential for various applications in the food, textile, pharmaceutical, and bioenergy sectors. By leveraging the centrifugal forces generated within the machine, hydraulic centrifuges effectively remove impurities, fibers, and other unwanted components, leaving behind a refined starch product ready for further processing or direct use.
GN Centrifuge Solution for Starch Production
GN's hydraulic centrifuge for starch production is tailored to meet the rigorous demands of the food industry. The key highlights of this equipment include:
1. Polished Surfaces for Food-Grade Safety: Recognizing the importance of hygiene and product purity, GN's centrifuge boasts a polishing process applied to both the inner surface of the centrifuge bowl and the pushing screw propeller. This meticulous finishing prevents material residue, ensuring that every batch of starch produced adheres to the highest food-grade quality standards.
2. International-Grade Hydraulic System: Powering this precision machinery is an internationally renowned hydraulic system from Swiss brand Viscotherm, renowned for its reliability and precision. The system integrates a hydraulic differential, ensuring smooth operation, alongside an efficient air-cooling system that maintains optimal temperatures during extended runs.
3. Monitoring and Safety Features: GN's hydraulic drive centrifuge is equipped with an array of intelligent sensors, including automatic lubrication systems, temperature sensors, and vibration sensors. These features work in harmony to detect and respond to any potential issues, ensuring the safe and smooth operation of the equipment around the clock.
4. Safety Guaranteed Control Cabinet: Designed with the food industry's stringent hygiene requirements in mind, the control cabinet is crafted from stainless steel, resisting corrosion and facilitating easy cleaning. Equipped with VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) and PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) overload protection, the system enhances operational safety and extends the equipment's lifespan.
A New Frontier for GN Separation
The production and release of GN Separation's starch production centrifuge marks a significant expansion for GN's centrifuge application into a new domain. This achievement is a testament to GN's commitment to continuous product innovation and industry diversification. By leveraging its expertise in separation technology and adhering to higher standards of quality and safety, GN is poised to make substantial contributions to the global separation industry.
