Separation technologies

Separation solutions for all food ingredients

Bodec is specialized in running processes in our facility, from initial raw material to end product and ingredients. Following initial size reduction and extraction, separation solutions are needed to separate certain fractions, solids or liquids. From large-scale decanters, centrifuge and membrane filtration, Bodec has you covered during scale-up.

Separation technologies for every food ingredient process

At Bodec, we support the full journey from raw material to finished ingredient, ensuring every step of your process is efficient and scalable. After size reduction or extraction, separation becomes a decisive moment: it determines purity, yield and functional properties.
Our pilot plant allows you to test, optimize and validate each separation step in a controlled, real-world environment — without the risk or cost of industrial-scale trials.

By working directly from raw materials or side-streams, we identify how particle size, solubility, viscosity and process conditions influence separation performance. This hands-on approach ensures that your final process is robust, predictable and ready for scale-up.

Decanters, centrifuges and membrane filtration

Bodec offers a full range of separation technologies for food ingredients, including large-scale decanters, disc-stack centrifuges and membrane systems (MF, UF, NF, RO).
These systems allow you to clarify liquids, isolate functional fractions, remove insoluble material, concentrate valuable components or prepare streams for further refining.

We help you choose and configure the right technology based on feed characteristics, desired purity, solids load and downstream processing requirements. Our team operates these systems daily with a variety of different (semi-finished) products, giving us deep technical expertise in optimizing yield, managing fouling and improving stability

Whether you work with plant proteins, fibres, starches, lipids, sugars or specialty side streams, we provide a clear path from concept to production reality.

Separation solutions at Bodec

  • Vast experience with a variety of raw materials

  • Optimize separation during your process

  • Working towards a scalable solution

Not immediately. We always run a pilot test first to see how your product behaves on our equipment. This step is essential to ensure process stability, efficiency and reliable production performance.
No. To remain fully independent, Bodec does not develop its own ingredients. All intellectual property and product ownership always stay with the client.
Absolutely. While many of our clients are based in Europe due to logistics and raw material handling, we also work with companies from outside Europe. Feel free to contact us with your request.

Separation Technologies for Food-Grade Ingredient Processing

Separation Technologies for Every Food Ingredient Process

At Bodec, we provide advanced separation technologies for the full journey from raw materials to finished food ingredients. Our solutions ensure that every step of your food processing is efficient, scalable, and optimized for maximum yield and purity. After size reduction or extraction, separation is a critical step that determines functional properties, clarity, and overall product quality.

Our pilot plant allows you to test, optimize, and validate separation processes in a controlled environment. This hands-on approach lets you refine processes safely, without the cost or risk of full-scale industrial trials. By working directly with raw materials or side-streams, we evaluate particle size, solubility, viscosity, and processing conditions to ensure your separation process is robust, predictable, and ready for industrial scale-up.

Decanters, Centrifuges, and Membrane Filtration Systems

Bodec offers a comprehensive range of separation technologies for food ingredients, including:

  • Large-scale decanters for continuous solid-liquid separation

  • Disc-stack centrifuges for high-speed clarification and fractionation

  • Membrane filtration systems (MF, UF, NF, RO) for concentration and purification

These technologies allow you to clarify liquids, isolate functional fractions, remove insoluble material, and concentrate valuable components. Our team helps you select and configure the ideal system based on feed characteristics, solids load, desired purity, and downstream processing requirements.

With extensive daily experience handling a wide variety of (semi-finished) food products, our experts optimize yield, manage fouling, improve stability, and ensure consistent performance.

Expert Support for Plant Proteins, Fibers, Starches, Lipids, and More

Whether your focus is plant proteins, fibers, starches, lipids, sugars, or specialty side-streams, Bodec provides a clear path from concept to production reality. Our food ingredient separation solutions combine technical expertise, pilot-scale testing, and practical insights to accelerate scale-up, improve product quality, and enhance overall process efficiency.
