GEA Plant-based protein powders webinar-Jan2021

Sat, 09 Jan 2021 15:45:09 GMT

Want to keep pace with the growing protein market? Watch this webinar and explore the latest ideas in producing high-quality protein powders from plant-based raw materials. To achieve the specific protein powder properties demanded by end customers, it is essential to choose the right spray drying equipment and type of dryer for protein drying.

GEA Filtration Fundamentals for the Plant-based Protein Market Webinar

Mon, 14 Dec 2020 14:27:07 GMT

Global trends, including personalized nutrition, well-being and fitness, clean eating, avoiding allergies and intolerances, veganism and flexitarianism, along with environmentalism, are fueling development of plant-based protein products.

To further optimize plant protein ingredient offerings and ultimately bring them to industrial scale, membrane filtration technology can and should play a role. Increasing sophistication in membrane manufacturing and advances in membrane material chemistry and process development make now the time to add filtration to your research and development work.

Getting Started in Plant Protein Separation Webinar

Mon, 07 Dec 2020 08:11:14 GMT

What you'll learn in this webinar:
-The various plants from which protein can be extracted -- there are many and new sources are always being investigated
-Plant protein isolates and concentrates – how they differ
-The wet process for protein extraction – steps required to remove the protein
-Principles of centrifugation – why a centrifuge is an ideal choice for separating the protein from other plant components
-Using pilot equipment for process and product discovery and, ultimately, scale-up

Varipond P - Automatic operation

Wed, 30 Sep 2020 17:42:33 GMT

Once your cleaning cycle is done, and you are ready to process product again, we have automated the Varipond P. This automation feature connects the automatic start and stop of the Varipond P to an operator adjustable torque value. As long as torque is below the set torque value, Varipond P is automatically shut off. Torque comes with solids. No solids in the bowl, no torque. The more solids in the bowl, the higher the torque. Once your decanter’s solids side is properly filled with solids, Varipond pressure is applied. Otherwise liquid might flood out the solids discharge. If torque drops, the Varipond turns off the pressure to reduce the pond, avoiding the flood.

VaripondP function for decanters

Our Varipond P feature lets you change the pond depths inside the bowl to maximise your protein yield. Protein flocs tend to swim on the pond’s surface instead of being forces to the bowl wall which makes it likely that you will lose protein via the liquid discharge during concentration. By applying pressurized air the pond depth is changed and an additional plate prevents the protein flocs to leave the bowl with the clarified liquid.

Decanter for recovering plant proteins

For plant protein recovery, decanters are used for extracting, concentrating, recovering and washing the protein. They separate solid and liquid phases with the help of centrifugal force. While the clarified liquid is discharged under pressure to avoid oxygen pick-up, the solids are forced to the bowl wall and transported by the scroll to the outlet.
