Pieralisi Group provides state-of-the-art solutions in the separation processes with the use of centrifugal force for food applications.
The new technology of CPA decanters (Centripetal Adjusting Pump) can be used where a liquid must be separated from solids/fibers. It is a machine for the food industry suitable for the clarification of fruit and vegetable juices, vegetable drinks (made with soya, rice, oat, etc.) and vegetable protein isolation (soya, peas, etc.)
Pieralisi Group has developed this special device that allows to discharge the clarified liquid from the bowl. The use of the centripetal pump, integrated in the decanter liquid side terminal, permits to have the clarified liquid outlet under pressure, minimizing the contact with the air and the consequent oxidation phenomena or foam formation. Another specific advantage of the centripetal pump is to allow the continuous regulation of liquid exit level during operation; this option bestows to the decanter a great versatility, which results essential of an optimal management of the performances mainly in the presence of products with variable concentrations and characteristics. The centripetal pump uniqueness and peculiarities make Pieralisi’s CPA decanters particularly fit for the food industry, above all in the beverage sector. Pieralisi’s CPA centrifuges are available in both 2 or 3 phases version.
Pieralisi centrifuges (both decanters and separators) are provided with a reliable and efficient CIP washing system (Clean in Place) that is automatically run from the control panel and can be set depending on every single process need. Two specific washing sequences are automatically started and handled by the control panel at the end of every operation or in case of necessity. A number of dedicated solenoid valves, conveniently installed in the washing circuit, allows to feed the washing liquid in various points, both inside the rotating assembly and in its external part, between bowl and case.
