The Decanter Centrifuge for Vegetable Protein Recovery is designed for continuous solid-liquid separation in plant-based protein production, including soybean protein, pea protein, wheat protein, and other vegetable protein extraction processes.
It efficiently separates protein-rich solids from process liquids, improving protein recovery rate, reducing product loss, and supporting stable operation in protein extraction and concentration systems.
Protein particles are often small and difficult to separate completely, requiring efficient centrifugal force and optimized operating parameters.
Protein slurry usually contains a large amount of water, increasing drying and concentration costs.
Poor separation performance may result in protein loss with discharged liquid.
Protein slurry concentration and viscosity may change during production, requiring flexible equipment adjustment.
Equipment needs suitable materials, hygienic design, and reliable continuous operation.

→ Protein-Rich Solids + Clarified Liquid
Protein-Rich Solids
→ Drying / Concentration / Further Processing
Clarified Liquid
→ Recovery / Recycling / Wastewater Treatment
Vegetable protein slurry containing suspended protein particles enters the rotating bowl through a controlled feeding system.
Under centrifugal force, protein particles move toward the bowl wall and form a concentrated solids layer.
Separated liquid remains in the inner liquid zone and moves toward the clarified liquid area.
The scroll continuously transports concentrated protein solids toward the discharge end.
Protein-rich solids and clarified liquid are continuously separated for recovery or further processing.
