Opti-Zent: Investigation of pomace digestion in centrifugation via experiment and simulation with innovative screw geometry to increase the yield

When producing vegetable oils or fruit juices with 2-phase decanters, approx. 80-90% of the oil or juice can be extracted in high quality. To significantly reduce the loss, the processes involved in dehydrating the marc, the rheological behavior of the liquid and the powder flow of the pile will be investigated. Simulations of the discrete element method coupled with flow simulation and thus a new screw geometry for improved extraction of the marc. Produkte und Produktion Prozesstechnik
