Product catalog summary
Introduction
HILLER introduces a new mechanical cell maceration process using decanter centrifuges for the solid/liquid separation in root vegetable processing. This process aims to enhance product quality and efficiency.

Key Benefits
  • Improved product quality with a fresh vegetable taste.
  • Retention of vitamins and high-nutrition components.
  • More intense color and stable, cloudy juice.
  • Energy-efficient and product-enhancing process.

Continuous Juice Production
The process involves continuous juice production from root vegetables using mechanical cell maceration. It offers an open system with oxygenation capacity and discontinuous production phases (macerate, press, fill).

Process Diagram and Plant Components
  • High-performance conditioner for maximum mechanical cell maceration.
  • Decanter with steam injection for controlled heating and improved separation.
  • Optional integrated heat exchanger system for energy-efficient production.

Comparison with Conventional Processes
  • Conventional processes involve high heat loading and enzymatic degradation, leading to a typical cooked taste and destruction of vitamins.
  • The new process avoids these issues, maintaining a fresher taste and retaining nutritional components.

Conclusion
The new HILLER process offers a closed production sequence with continuous feeding and processing, mechanical cell maceration without enzymes, and low heat loading, resulting in a superior product.
