Hi All,

I need a solution for my issue.

for a process, i am squeezing the shrimp shell waste and removing the water from it which gives a juice sort of liquid during the squeezing process.

this juice has about 5% of suspended solids in it, and I need to separate the suspended solids in from the water. I NEED THE SOLID PARTICLES ALONE AND I DONT NEED THE WATER.

for this i tried in lab centrifuge with 5000 rpm and it gave complete separation. based on this I bought a disc type centrifuge with 7200 rpm and installed it. now when i run it, the separation is not proper.

since this is meat particle, i am not able to do the separation using cloth medium. And separation with centrifugal force happens only with an rpm above 5000.

Suggest me any other method of doing it like adding coagulant or floculant or and other mechanical separation without altering the structural nature of the meat particle.



Thanks in advance.

I am not sure why filtration is not appropriate for your needs.  With respect to centrifugation, the RPM of the centrifuge is related to, but is not the same as, the the most important variable, which is the relative centrifugal force (RCF).  Besides RPM, you need to know the diameter of the rotor in order to calculate RCF.

How about finer mesh filter or evaporative methods like freeze drying.
