I. The Separation Imperative in Modern Beverage Production

With 72% of beverage manufacturers reporting increased demand for multifunctional processing lines, separation equipment has become a strategic differentiator. Sokos separation equipment delivers advanced performance, helping producers streamline operations and enhance product purity.

  • 99.97% Clarification Efficiency: Achieve <0.01% turbidity in fruit juices

  • 30% Higher Yield Recovery: Extract 98.5% usable product from raw materials

  • Carbon-Negative Operations: 40% lower energy consumption vs. industry benchmarks

Our proprietary AirTight™ Technology revolutionizes three core performance pillars:


II. AirTight™ Technology: Engineering Breakthroughs

1. Hermetic Precision Separation

  • Zero-Oxidation Chamber: Inert gas blanket maintains product integrity

    • Vitamin C retention: 95% vs. 78% in conventional systems

    • Oxidation-sensitive compounds preserved (e.g., polyphenols in tea)

  • Vibration Damping System: <5μm displacement at 10,000 RPM

    • Bearing lifespan extended by 2.8x

2. Adaptive Performance Matrix

Parameter Adjustment Range Response Time
Bowl Speed 3,000-12,000 RPM <15 seconds
Feed Rate 2-50 m³/h Real-time
Disc Stack Geometry 80-150 discs 8-minute swap

3. Smart Contamination Control

  • Self-Cleaning Nozzles: 0.1mm particulate ejection

  • AI-Powered Density Sensing: Detects phase changes at 0.001 g/cm³ resolution


III. Collaborative Innovation: Partner-Driven Solutions

1. Case Study: Upcycling Brewery Spent Grain

  • Challenge: 30% waste stream from craft beer production

  • Sokos Solution:

    • 3-stage separation: Protein extraction → Fiber recovery → Water recycling

    • Output:

      • Food-grade protein powder (85% purity)

      • Biodegradable packaging feedstock

  • ROI: 18-month payback via new revenue streams

2. Juice Concentration Optimization

  • Client Need: Reduce Brix variability (±0.5° target)

  • Technical Response:

    • Dynamic viscosity compensation (1,000 data points/second)

    • Automated bypass control for pulp adjustment

  • Result: 92% reduction in off-spec batches


IV. Sustainability Engineering: From Cost Center to Profit Driver

1. Closed-Loop Resource Recovery

Waste Stream Recovery Rate Monetization Pathway
