How does the paste get into the centrifuge
Thread Content
For crystal slurries such as maltitol, after cooling, the crystal paste in the crystallization tank becomes quite thick, making it difficult to feed it into the centrifuge. Adding water to dilute it can damage the crystal structure and affect the sensory quality of the crystals. How can the crystal paste be sent into the centrifuge? In a centrifuge, materials with high viscosity do not separate easily, leading to uneven centrifuging Please share some ideas!
1# tianloveyong It is best to place the centrifuge on the layer below the tank equipment, so that the slurry remains due to gravity
But the paste is quite thick; it’s impossible to spread the fabric in the center. How can this be solved? 2# shrub
There is a method, which is not necessarily applicable: add a small amount of a 1–2% potassium chloride solution. The amount is small, so it won’t damage the crystal ； The viscosity of many materials with high viscosity undergoes very significant changes when they are added to potassium chloride solution.
What’s the principle behind this? Can xylose mother liquor be added? 4# jothan
After centrifugation, no washing? If washing, just use detergent. 1# tianloveyong
The focus should be on controlling the product particle size quality through the crystallization process; in other words, it is best to ensure that the particle size of the product is uniform and large enough to facilitate centrifugal separation during filtration
^_^Have you never heard of the sugar gate? It is the standard method for discharging material in the sugar industry
! 7# yanglibin_tju What we need are small particles
4# jothan What is the principle behind this?
For small particles, is it possible to avoid using paste? A diluted master solution can be applied instead
