Separators and decanters for fruit and vegetable juices
Whether you want to use the disk separator to remove pulp from the fruit juices and to clarify them, or to gain vegetable juice through the use of centrifugal decanters or in order to clear waste water from the fruit and vegetable juice production for clearing and concentrating purposes — there are plenty of applications in the vegetable and fruit juice industry. Today, it would be unthinkable to operate a production without centrifuges.
Centrimax supplies previously owned, centrifuges and decanters from manufacturers such as GEA Westfalia Separator, Alfa Laval and Flottweg GmbH. We also offer worm-screen centrifuges made by Siebtechnik GmbH.
All above-mentioned centrifuges are subject to our general overhaul and receive brand-new PLC control systems (Siemens S7). Subsequently, all equipment is put through rigorous trails on our in-house test benches. After a successful test run, our centrifuges are shipped out including a warranty for all mechanical parts.
Separators for fruit and vegetable juices
Centrimax supplies factory- and service-rebuilt separators with warranty for fruit and vegetable juices.
Juice made with presses and decanters is still cloudy after production. In order to prevent negative impact on the juice, the materials causing such cloudiness must be removed as quickly as possible. Centrifugal clarifying separators are in particular suitable for the necessary pre-clarification of juices.
High-speed separators may be used for the fine clarification of raw juice depending on the desired cloudiness of vegetable juice to be produced.ices.
Separators used in the production of citrus fruit juices may in particular be employed in the downstream clarification of the citrus juice following its processing in juicers and finishers. They may also be used in the production of essential oils and in special procedures.
Direct juice frequently contains undesirable peel oil which may from a specific quantity create a bitter taste. This peel oil may also be removed with the help of special separators.
The essential oils contained in citrus fruit peel may be washed out with water and then separated in a two-stage centrifugal system into their individual components (water and essential oils).
Unwanted waxes may enter the oil phase during the production of essential oils. The so-called "winterization" process using a special separator may then be applied here to remove these waxes from the oil.
Decanters may be employed to remove raw extract produced with fresh fruit peel from the pomace; separators may then be used in a further stage to clarify this raw extract. Decanters may also be used following the subsequent precipitation process.
Separators may be used here in advance juice clarification downstream of the finisher and in the shape of high-performance clarifying separators after fining.
So-called retentates will be produced if ultra-filtration is employed to achieve very fine clarification. These possess a high solid content which may concentrated to recover valuable juice using decanting technologies. Upstream special separators may be used to considerably extend the UF systems' cleaning intervals and increase their effectiveness.
Decanters for fruit and vegetable juices
Centrimax supplies factory- and service-rebuilt decanters with warranty for fruit and vegetable juices.
Decanters were developed as an alternative to conventional pressing systems in the fruit-juice industry and designed to increase flexibility, realize continuous processing, achieve high and steady yields with consistent product quality and operational efficiency. Decanters also deliver benefits through the removal of undesirable fruit components in the production of purée.

Decanters also help enhance the operational efficiency of fruit- and vegetable-juice production by helping to recover juice from sediments (lees from fining, gross lees) .

Peeling, rinsing and other waste water from fruit- and vegetable-juice production generate disposal costs that every business needs to minimize. These costs may be reduced by clarifying and concentrating these waste waters with the help of decanters.

Worm-screen centrifuges among others have been shown to be useful in the continuous process of pre-clarification of purée following the crushing of the vegetable mass.
