Tubular centrifuge plays a vital role in the production process of soybean concentrated lecithin. This equipment is mainly used to separate and purify soybean lecithin to obtain high-purity, high-quality soybean concentrated lecithin.
Soybean concentrated lecithin, with its high purity, is achieved through the use of a series of separation and purification methods. This intricate process involves extracting and isolating specific phospholipid components such as phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidylinositol while simultaneously removing impurities like oils, proteins, and carbohydrates. One of the most important steps in this process is the utilization of a tubular centrifuge, which is a critical piece of equipment for achieving optimal results.
In the separation process of soybean lecithin, the tubular centrifuge uses the strong centrifugal force generated by its high-speed rotating drum to separate the different components in the mixture. Due to the difference in physical properties between phospholipids and impurities, they will be distributed to different positions under the action of centrifugal force, thereby achieving the separation of phospholipids and impurities.
Specifically, when the soybean lecithin mixture enters the tubular centrifuge, it will be driven by the high-speed rotating drum and move along the inner wall of the drum. Due to the different physical properties of lecithin and impurities such as density and viscosity, they will be distributed to different positions under the action of centrifugal force.
The lighter lecithin components will be thrown to the periphery of the drum, while the heavier impurities will be deposited on the inner wall or bottom of the drum. By adjusting the speed of the centrifuge, the structure of the drum and the operating parameters, the effective separation of lecithin and impurities can be achieved.
The purity of soybean lecithin obtained by the tubular centrifuge is greatly improved, and the impurity content is significantly reduced, which not only improves the quality of concentrated soybean lecithin, but also provides high-quality raw materials for further processing and utilization.
The application of tubular centrifuge in soybean concentrated lecithin is mainly reflected in the extraction and refining of soybean concentrated lecithin.
The tubular centrifuge is commonly used in the separation process and is considered to be the most efficient equipment for centrifugation. It is highly effective in extracting, concentrating, and clarifying materials with very small differences in liquid-solid specific gravity, fine solid particle size, low content, and medium corrosiveness.
Its benefits include strong separation capabilities, a simple structure, easy operation and maintenance, low energy consumption, a small footprint, high speed, a high separation factor, adaptability to a wide range of temperatures, and minimal noise. The GQ-clarification type is specifically designed for separating challenging suspensions, especially those with low concentration and high viscosity, fine solid particles, and low liquid-specific gravity. For instance, it is ideal for extracting and refining soybean concentrated lecithin.
