Clarifiers

Category: Food Processing Machinery                                                                           

Summary: Remove suspended solids from liquids.

Clarifiers in food processing machinery are used to separate solid particles from liquids, resulting in a clearer liquid product. This process is crucial for improving the appearance and quality of various food and beverage items.

Function Clarifiers work by using gravity or centrifugal force to separate suspended solids from liquids. The denser solids settle or are forced to the bottom or sides, leaving the clearer liquid to be drawn off.

Mechanism:

Sedimentation clarifiers: Rely on gravity to separate solids.

Centrifugal clarifiers: Use centrifugal force to accelerate the separation process.

Applications: Clarifiers are important in the processing of:

    * Juices (e.g., apple juice)

    * Wine and beer

    * Edible oils

    * Sugar solutions
