Decanter Centrifuges for Protein Production

GN decanter centrifuge are widely used in the production of vegetable proteins like soya protein, pea protein, lupin protein, rapeseed protein.

Protein is an important substance that constitutes the human body, and is also the basic material of human life. In the body - muscles, bones, skin, nerves, and so on contain protein.

Moreover the protein is widely used for industry products also contain vegetable proteins - such as cosmetics, paints, plastics, and textiles.

Protein Manufacture

In the production of soya protein, pea protein, lupin protein and rapeseed protein, the separation of valuable protein from the plants is a very important process. Moreover, the GN decanter centrifuge is also been used for the other process of protein, like washing, extraction, concentration and clarification. The purpose and advantage for using GN centrifuge in the protein manufacture is to maximize the protein yield with the best quality. At the same time, to use less energy and man power, and minimize the maintenance spare parts in order to save the production cost.

Soy Protein and Soy Protein Concentrate

Soya beans contain high quality protein up to 40%. The process for manufacturing of soy protein isolate is simple. Defatted soy flour or flakes are the general material for the production, the protein is first dissolved in water. The resulting solution is then separated from the solid residue by decanter centrifuge. Then the protein is precipitated from the solution, and finally the protein is separated and dried. Many factor influence the quality and yield of the production of protein, include extraction time, alkalinity, the ratio of water to soy meal, temperature, heat treatment and agitation. But the performance of decanter centrifuge is also very important to meet the producer objective in quality and yield of protein. Especially in the separation of the protein from the solid soybean residue . GN decanter centrifuge is designed to meet the hygiene requirements of soy protein

Besides the soy protein, around the world, the Pea Protein, Lupin Protein Rapeseed Protein are also popular in the protein production industry.GN design the food industry centrifuge to meet the production of different vegetable protein.
