STARCH AND PEEL WASTE RECOVERY IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY …
MSE Hiller have recently installed several solids liquid separation units into the food industry many at household names such as Branston ’ s , Burts , Diageo , Heinz , Pepsico , Quaker Oats , Kellogg ’ s , Kettle , Walkers , 4Ufreshproduce etc
The Hiller Decapress units are able to process high flowrates from a small footprint producing a high dry solids cake and a cleaned effluent which is easy to dispose of .
Following a competitive tender for their production facility at Trafford park Manchester , Kellogg ’ s installed a DP37- 422VABD Hiller Decapress unit to process upto 14 m3 / hr of water treatment sludge from a combination of DAF and biological processes . The machine which operates without polymer addition is able to achieve a dry solids cake of around 20 - 22 % ds .
Burts chips installed a DP37-422VABD Hiller Decapress unit to process up to 10 m3 / hr of combined plant waste water . The machine which operates without polymer addition is able to achieve a dry solids cake of around 30 - 40 % ds reducing effluent disposal costs at their Plymouth site .
Starch is notoriously high in BOD and it ’ s removal from effluent means that it can significantly save on effluent disposal costs vis the mogden formula as well as providing a saleable product .

Potato starch solids recovery in the crisp Industry are typically a crumbly powdery white solids discharged at 60 – 70 % dry solids and Hiller have installed machines Worldwide in this sector including China , Egypt , Pakistan , Poland , Thailand , Turkey , USA …
Meanwhile on potato chip processing lines and potato processing plants peel waste can be recovered and dewatered to a stackable transportable mass at 22 - 30 % ds .
Soil waters muds sands and silts can be dewatered to 45 – 60 % ds .
New developments for the food sector include the Three phase DecaOil machines are installed where Oil , Water and solids need to be recovered in a single process stage , often at elevated temperatures . Olive oils , fish oils and mineral oils are just three examples of this .
Finally juices such as Apple , Beetroot , Carrott , Elderflower , Grape , Ginger , Garlic , Orange etc are processed on Hillertwo phase Decafood machines which produce high quality food grade products .
With enclosed , highly automated , CIP 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 .
