Dencanter Centrifuge for Casein Milk Separation

The Decanter Centrifuge for Casein Milk Separation is designed for continuous separation of casein solids from milk or dairy fermentation streams.

It is suitable for casein production, dairy protein recovery, milk processing, and whey treatment applications. The centrifuge uses high centrifugal force to separate fine protein particles from liquid, improving solid recovery and reducing moisture content.

For casein processing, the main challenges include fine protein particles, high moisture content, sticky solids, and strict hygiene requirements. The decanter centrifuge provides continuous operation, stable separation performance, and sanitary processing for dairy plants.

• Casein curd dewatering
• Milk protein recovery
• Acid casein production
• Rennet casein processing
• Dairy fermentation residue separation
• Whey protein solid recovery
• Dairy wastewater treatment
• Protein slurry concentration

Fine Casein Particle Separation

Casein particles are extremely fine and difficult to separate by gravity settling, which may cause protein loss and reduced recovery efficiency.

High Moisture Content in Casein Cake

Fresh casein curd contains high retained moisture, increasing drying time and energy consumption during downstream processing.

Sticky and Compressible Casein Solids

Casein solids can form sticky cakes with poor flowability, making conveying, discharge, and further handling more difficult.

Protein Loss During Separation

Fine protein particles may remain suspended in liquid, affecting product yield and increasing valuable material loss.

Strict Dairy Hygiene Requirements

Dairy production requires clean processing conditions to prevent contamination and meet food-grade standards.

Variable Casein Slurry Conditions

Feed concentration, particle size, and slurry properties can change depending on milk source and production process.

Milk / Casein Slurry
→ Pretreatment
→ Feeding System
→ Decanter Centrifuge
→ Dewatered Casein Solids + Clarified Liquid

Dewatered Casein Solids → Drying / Packaging / Further Processing

Separated Liquid → Whey Recovery / Wastewater Treatment
