  • Self-emptying separator for the gentle discharge of shear-sensitive products, and method for operating same
    Patent number: 11389809
    Abstract: A self-emptying separator includes a rotatable drum with an inlet, a liquid outlet, outlet openings for solid material, and a control system. A flowable starting product is cleared of the solids in continuous operation in a centrifugal field in the rotating drum. A continuous discharge of a clear phase is performed. A solid phase is discharged via the outlet openings from a solids collecting space of the drum into an annular solids catcher. The solids catcher has a device for generating a fluid curtain against which the solids, issuing from the outlet openings for solid material, impact.

  • METHOD AND PROCESS LINE FOR PRODUCING A DEWATERED GLUTEN-CONTAINING FRACTION
    Publication number: 20220153788
    Abstract: A method for producing a dewatered gluten-containing fraction involves providing a gluten-containing fraction, concentrating the gluten-containing fraction by centrifugal processing according to a determined dry substance content, adjusting the pH value and the temperature of the concentrated gluten-containing fraction by a temperature-control and metering unit, and dewatering the concentrated gluten-containing fraction.

  • Method for processing thin stillage and apparatus for producing a protein containing product
    Patent number: 9714267
    Abstract: A method for processing thin stillage (TS), characterized by the following steps: a) feeding of thin stillage (TS) into a working vessel (3); b) concentrating of thin stillage (TS) in a filtration unit (9); and c) returning of a first substream of concentrated thin stillage to the thin stillage (TSI) present in the working vessel (3) in order to adjust the solids content, and apparatus for producing a protein-containing product of value.
