MSE Hiller rise and shine in the food Industry… MSE Hiller have recently installed several Starch is notoriously high in BOD and it’s solids liquid separation units into the removal from effluent means that it can food industry, many at household names significantly save on effluent disposal such as Branston’s, Burts, Diageo, Heinz, costs via the mogden formula as well as Pepsico, Quaker Oats, Kellogg’s, Kettle, providing a saleable product. Walkers, 4Ufreshproduce etc Potato starch solids recovery in the crisp The Hiller Decapress units are able to Industry are typically a crumbly powdery process high flowrates from a small white solids discharged at 60 – 70 % dry footprint producing a high dry solids cake solids and Hiller have installed machines and a cleaned effluent which is easy to Worldwide in this sector including China, dispose of. Egypt, Pakistan, Poland, Thailand, Turkey, USA… Following a competitive tender for their production facility at Trafford park Meanwhile on potato chip processing lines Finally juices such as Apple, Beetroot, Manchester, Kellogg’s installed a DP37- and potato processing plants peel waste Carrott, Elderflower, Grape, Ginger, Garlic, 422VABD Hiller Decapress unit to process can be recovered and dewatered to a Orange  etc are processed on Hiller two upto 14 m3/hr of water treatment sludge stackable transportable mass at 22 - 30% phase Decafood machines which produce from a combination of DAF and biological ds. high quality food grade products. without polymer addition is able to achieve Soil waters muds sands and silts can be a dry solids cake of around 20 - 25% ds. dewatered to 45 – 60% ds. With enclosed, highly automated, CIP Burts chips installed a DP37-422VABD New developments for the food sector Hiller Decapress unit to process up to 10 include the Three phase DecaOil machines m3/hr of combined plant waste water. The which are installed where Oil, Water machine which operates without polymer and solids need to be recovered in a addition is able to achieve a dry solids cake single process stage, often at elevated of around 30 - 45 % ds reducing effluent temperatures.  Olive oils, fish oils and disposal costs at their Plymouth site.  mineral oils are just three examples of this. processes.  The machine which operates systems in food grade designs and capacities ranging from 0.2 to 120 m3/ hr the Hiller DecaPress, DecaFood and DecaOil centrifuges are certainly starting to rise and shine in the food processing industry sector. www.mandse.com FDPP - www.fdpp.co.uk 35
