Decoflot

Batch process for sugar syrup clarification through flocculation and flotation.

When sugar dissolves in water, the organic and inorganic matter adhered to the walls of the sugar crystals becomes part of the syrup, adding color, odor and turbidity. Adding specific chemical reagents, the coagulation and flocculation of those impurities is achieved. Then, the injection of CO2 forces the flocs to float, causing the separation from the clarified sugar syrup.

‍

• The equipment is applicable for sugar syrups with turbidity low enough to achieve the necessary value, depending on the final product. The decolorization is made with syrups that have low or medium color level.
  ‍
• Decoflot uses a set of tanks with agitation to separate sugar syrup impurities through a flotation process, using chemical reactions and CO2 injection.
  ‍
• Decoflot is designed to be fully integrated with Aneko’s Contimix (for sugar dissolving), Batchdos (for chemical reagents dosage), Conticarb (for CO2 injection), and Decoactive (for further treatment if necessary).

  Thought from its origin to be compatible with in-line CIP and designed to ensure a thorough cleaning.
  ‍

• All the information, at any time
  Constant data registry, exportable, filterable by production, with the possibility to access all the records of the equipment through the ethernet network from the device that the customer defines.
  ‍

• Modifications control
  The edition of recipes is accessible by authorized operators that allows their creation and/or modification. This allows the simple creation and/or modification of recipes with flexibility. Optionally, it is possible to have a database with the extended history of the elaborations that have been carried out in the system.
  ‍

• Easy operation
  The process is controlled through the touchscreen provided by the equipment as HMI, from where all the operations can be carried out in a simple and intuitive way. Decoflot has the option to replicate the screen and the operation of the equipment remotely via an installed PC in any area of the plant.
