Decanter Centrifuge for Lemon Juice Processing

The Decanter Centrifuge for Lemon Juice Processing is designed for continuous separation of lemon pulp, fiber, and suspended solids from citrus juice.

It is suitable for lemon juice clarification, citrus pulp recovery, fruit processing wastewater treatment, and juice concentration pretreatment. The centrifuge separates fine solid particles from liquid through high centrifugal force, improving juice clarity and reducing product loss.

In lemon juice production, the main challenges include fine pulp particles, high fiber content, unstable solids concentration, and strict food-grade hygiene requirements. The decanter centrifuge provides continuous operation, efficient clarification, and reliable solid-liquid separation for citrus processing plants.

• Lemon juice clarification

• Citrus processing wastewater treatment
• Fruit fiber recovery
• Juice production line solid-liquid separation
• Citrus by-product recovery

Fine Pulp and Fiber Separation

Lemon juice contains fine pulp particles, fiber, and suspended solids that are difficult to remove by traditional settling.

Juice Yield Loss

Valuable juice remains trapped in pulp and solid residues, reducing overall product recovery.

High Fiber Content

Citrus fiber can affect liquid flow and increase separation difficulty during processing.

Variable Feed Conditions

Different lemon varieties, maturity levels, and processing methods cause changes in solids concentration and viscosity.

Food-Grade Hygiene Requirements

Juice production requires sanitary equipment design to prevent contamination and maintain product quality.

Continuous Production Demand

Large-scale juice plants require stable equipment operation with minimal manual intervention.

Fresh Lemon Juice / Pulp Mixture
→ Pre-screening
→ Feed Tank
→ Decanter Centrifuge
→ Clarified Lemon Juice + Dewatered Pulp

Clarified Juice → Filtration / Concentration / Packaging

Dewatered Pulp → Fiber Recovery / Further Processing
