Material analysis: whey protein (43 microns, including sediment)
Particle size: The whey protein particle size is 43 microns, which is a fine powder material with good fluidity, but easy to absorb moisture and agglomerate.
Precipitate characteristics: The material contains a small amount of sediment, which may be protein or other impurities that are not completely dissolved during the production process and need to be effectively separated.Filtration requirements: The 43-micron whey protein needs to be separated from the sediment to ensure the purity and uniformity of the product.
Difficulties in filtration
Screen blockage: The whey protein powder is fine and easy to block the screen, affecting the filtration efficiency.
Separation of sediment: The sediment particles are large and need to be effectively separated through the screen to avoid mixing into the finished product.Cleaning requirements: The screen needs to be cleaned regularly to prevent blockage and contamination.
Equipment recommendation: Rotary vibrating screen + spray cleaning device
Working principle of rotary vibrating screen: The rotary vibrating screen generates three-dimensional vibration through the vibration motor, so that the material forms a spiral motion on the screen surface, fine particles pass through the screen, and large particles and sediment are separated.
Suggestion: Our company recommends using a 43-micron stainless steel screen, which is corrosion-resistant and easy to clean.
Spray cleaning device: During the filtration process, the spray system can clean the screen regularly or continuously to prevent the screen holes from being blocked and ensure continuous production. The spray system can cover the entire screen and clean it thoroughly. The spray water volume can be adjusted to reduce water waste. Use food-grade cleaning agents to ensure that whey protein is not contaminated.
