Decanters
Decantation is a fundamental process in the treatment of sugarcane juice. It consists of the act of separating, through gravity, which allows the downward movement of particles suspended in a liquid medium, enabling the clarification of the juice.
Triniton Decanters are characterized by their quality, efficiency and durability, and are prepared to operate with sugarcane juice for both sugar and alcohol production.
Rapid Decanter: Features a short juice retention time, avoiding losses due to inversion. The juice is fed and distributed through a concentric ring, the clarified juice is removed through appropriately positioned gutters, and the sludge is removed from the bottom, where it is directed by scrapers. This line offers a combination of efficiency, lower installation and maintenance costs, and greater absorption of juice volume.
Conventional Decanter: This decanter has a larger number of trays for longer retention times. It allows for good fluctuation in juice flow. Its main advantages are: high stability to flow variations; higher concentration of sludge and consequently less recirculation of filtered juice; low polymer consumption; and normal decantation with high Brix.
Semi-Rapid Decanter: This decanter has fewer trays for medium retention times. It operates at a constant level, with low to medium polymer consumption, is highly stable against flow variations, and has a more concentrated sludge and high-brix decantation.
