A yeast centrifugal separator is a high-speed industrial machine designed to efficiently separate, concentrate, and wash yeast cells from liquids, widely used in breweries, bakeries, and biotechnology industries. Utilizing high centrifugal forces (up to 20,000 g), these stainless steel machines—typically disc stack or tubular types—clarify liquids, minimize product loss, and enable automated, continuous, or batch separation.
Key Features and Applications:
Industries Served: Primarily used in beer fermentation, baker’s yeast production, and biotech for cell harvesting.
Operational Mechanism: Utilizes high-speed rotation and disc-stack technology to separate yeast from beer or broth.
Automatic Discharge: Features automatic partial or full sludge discharge via PLC control to handle sediment without stopping production.
Liquid Seal Technology: Prevents oxidation and CO
loss during the separation of carbonated beverages.
High Efficiency: Capable of handling significant volumes (e.g., 300-20,000 L/h) while minimizing waste and ensuring high purity.
Types of Yeast Separators:
Disc Stack Centrifuge: Common in breweries and food, designed for solid-liquid separation with high capacity.
Nozzle Separator: Ideal for baker’s yeast production requiring continuous, high-concentration discharge.
Tubular Centrifuge: Used for separating very fine particles and higher gravity, often for smaller batches
