In potato processing plants<\/a>, slice washing generates significant volumes of wastewater containing suspended starch solids. Discharging this water without treatment wastes both a recoverable byproduct and a valuable water resource. A recent GN<\/a> shipment successfully brought\u00a0 a solution to this issue by using decanter centrifuge.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

GN<\/a> supplied a decanter centrifuge<\/a> sized for the facility’s throughput. The unit operates on the counter-current principle, with the bowl and screw conveyor rotating at differential speeds controlled by a variable frequency drive(VFD). This arrangement allows the separation parameters to be adjusted as the feed characteristics vary with production rates. The bowl length-to-diameter ratio, exceeding 3.0, provides sufficient residence time for fine starch particles to settle out of suspension.<\/p>\n

Several design features make this installation practical for food processing duty. The bowl cylindrical and conical sections are manufactured from Duplex Stainless Steel 2304, with other wetted parts in SS304<\/a>\u2014materials selected for corrosion resistance and cleanability. Tungsten carbide tiles protect the screw conveyor at wear points, extending service intervals. The PLC-controlled VFD cabinet provides consistent operation with minimal operator attention.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This installation illustrates a broader capability: GN supplies decanter centrifuges for starch recovery from potato, wheat, corn, and root crop processing<\/a>, with models available for different capacity ranges. For this customer, the result is reduced water consumption, recovered product value, and a separation process that runs with minimal supervision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
