Recently, GN Separation successfully completed the manufacturing of a Hydraulic Drive Decanter Centrifuge for deployment in a major starch production project overseas.
The Importance of Hydraulic Centrifuges in Starch Production
Hydraulic centrifuges are essential in the starch production process, where they efficiently separate starch granules from the slurry produced after wet milling. This crucial step ensures the final starch product’s purity and quality, making it suitable for various applications in the food, textile, pharmaceutical, and bioenergy industries. Utilizing centrifugal forces, hydraulic centrifuges remove impurities, fibers, and other unwanted materials, resulting in a refined starch product ready for further processing or immediate use.
GN’s Centrifuge Solution for Starch Production
GN’s Hydraulic Drive Decanter Centrifuge is specifically designed to meet the stringent requirements of the food industry. Key features include:
Polished Surfaces for Food-Grade Safety: GN’s centrifuge undergoes a polishing process on the inner bowl and screw propeller, minimizing residue and ensuring each batch of starch meets high food-grade standards.
International-Grade Hydraulic System: Powered by a reliable Swiss Viscotherm hydraulic system, the centrifuge includes a hydraulic differential and an efficient air-cooling system, maintaining optimal performance and temperature during extended operations.
Monitoring and Safety Features: The centrifuge is equipped with intelligent sensors, including automatic lubrication, temperature, and vibration sensors, to ensure safe and uninterrupted operation.
Stainless Steel Control Cabinet for Hygiene: The corrosion-resistant stainless steel control cabinet, equipped with VFD and PLC overload protection, meets the food industry’s hygiene standards, enhancing safety and extending the equipment’s lifespan.
A New Milestone for GN Separation
The launch of GN Separation’s starch production centrifuge signals a significant expansion into a new application area. This development reflects GN’s dedication to continuous innovation and industry diversification. By applying its separation technology expertise and adhering to the highest quality and safety standards, GN is set to make impactful contributions to the global separation industry.
