Extract clearer oat base, recover more solids, and cut waste with advanced decanter separation designed for oat drink production.
Oat-based beverage producers often face:
- Suspended fibres and particles that cause cloudy texture and poor clarity.
- Inconsistent quality and loss of yield during separation.
- Manual filtering or settling that is slow, labour-intensive, and variable.
This leads to higher operating costs, lower throughput, and less consistent product.
Our Solution:
As the Authorised Integrator of Alfa Laval in South Africa, we supply Foodec decanter centrifuges designed specifically for plant-based oat drinks. These systems deliver:
- Continuous solid-liquid separation.
- Clearer oat base and higher solids recovery.
- Reliable, hygienic operation with local service support.
4B Automation & 4B Systems ensures correct unit sizing, full integration, training, maintenance, and local support to keep your oat production efficient and consistent.
Key Features / Capabilities
High Yield & Clear Liquid Output:
Produces low solids content in the liquid while maximising extraction of oat fibre solids for reuse.
Adjustable Pond Depth, Bowl & Conveyor Speeds:
Real-time tuning to manage varying oat slurry solids content, flow rates, or desired clarity/dryness targets.
Low Energy Consumption & Efficient Drive System:Â
Variable Speed Drives (VSDs) and optional energy-saving tubes reduce power draw even under variable feed conditions.
Cleanability & Maintenance:
Easy-open covers, full stainless steel construction, and CIP design minimise residue build-up and reduce cleaning time.
Continuous Operation & Robustness:Â
Built for 24/7 operation with high reliability and durability, seamlessly handling changing feed composition and solids loads.
