Protein
Decanter centrifuges have become more and more important within the fat, oil and protein recovering industry. Alfa Laval meat and fish decanter centrifuges benefit from many years of tradition and experience – we have kept on improving our horizontal centrifuges and decanter product range, enabling our customers to enhance their recovery of valuable protein fractions, fats and oils in the most efficient manner possible.
Increase yield and reduce energy and operation costs:
- Excellent clarification
- High recovery rate
- High cake dryness
- Highly customizable for your specific application requirement
- Compact and robust design with wear protection
The high-performance meat and fish decanters offer high recovery rate with low energy consumption compared to other solutions. Operation is automated, minimizing manual labour input.
