Decanter centrifuge for food industry separation
Achieve precise separation and ensure optimum product quality with our advanced decanter centrifuge, designed to maximize yield and minimize downtime in diverse food processing applications.

The ANDRITZ Decanter Centrifuge F is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of the food and beverage industry, offering a tailored solution for precise separation and clarification tasks. With a design rooted in the merger of GUINARD and KHD HUMBOLT technologies, it provides reliable performance in applications like dairy, oil, and bioethanol processing. Its advanced multi-stage decanting system allows continuous operation and variable feed handling, optimizing separation efficiency across diverse products such as casein, olive oil, and juices. With handling capacities adaptable to specific production needs, it supports high throughput without compromising quality. The centrifuge is equipped with a PLC-controlled system, facilitating seamless integration and remote monitoring capabilities. Energy consumption is minimized through its optimized motor options, including fixed and variable-frequency drives. Constructed from materials like stainless steel and Duplex alloys, the centrifuge offers excellent corrosion resistance, essential for high-purity food processes. It complies with industry hygiene standards, featuring a robust Cleaning-In-Place (CIP) system for maintenance efficiency. Customizable features, such as rotor designs and discharge methods, ensure the equipment meets unique production requirements.
