Stainless Steel Semi Automatic Peanut Protein Extraction Plant

A protein extraction plant is a facility designed to isolate and purify proteins from various raw materials, such as plants (e.g., soy, peas), animals (e.g., meat, dairy), or microbial sources (e.g., algae, fungi). The goal is to obtain high-quality protein products for use in food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, or industrial applications.

Key Processes in a Protein Extraction Plant:

• Raw Material Preparation: Cleaning, grinding, and conditioning the source material.
• Extraction: Using physical (e.g., pressing), chemical (e.g., solvents, acids, or alkalis), or enzymatic methods to release proteins.
• Filtration and Separation: Removing non-protein components such as fats, fibers, and carbohydrates.
• Purification: Techniques like ultrafiltration, precipitation, or chromatography to enhance protein concentration and purity.
• Drying and Packaging: Converting the protein into a storable form, often powder, and packing it for distribution.

Applications

• Food Industry: Plant-based meat, protein supplements, dairy alternatives.
• Pharmaceuticals: Production of therapeutic proteins or enzymes.
• Cosmetics: Inclusion in skin and hair care products.
• Animal Feed: Enrichment of feed with high-protein content.
