Dinnissen Process Technology has been a leader in Processing Technology for 75 years. Are you excited about our extensive machinery for processing pea protein? Or would you like to know which process best suits your specific production process? Then don't hesitate to contact one of our specialists.
Cross-industry experience enables us to innovate production processes
Pea protein is made from the powder that is ground from a pea. To obtain the protein, the proteins in a pea must be concentrated and extracted, similar to milk. A pea contains an enormous amount of protein. 100 Grams of peas contain as much as 22 grams of protein.
The product is mainly used by vegetarians and vegans, but also as a substitute for whey protein for stomach problems.
The high-quality plant-based protein is free of lactose, wheat, soy, and gluten, making it suitable for people who suffer from food allergies or food intolerances.
Dinnissen is a market leader in the food market and specializes in developing and innovating machines for processing pea proteins in customer-specific production lines.
If you have a question regarding one of our machines or your own production process, we recommend contacting one of our specialists listed at the bottom of this article.
They are familiar with the product and can tell you everything you need to know about your specific production line and handling of the product.
Machines specifically designed for pea protein processing
Before powder can be made out of a pea from which the fiber is extracted, the skin of the pea must be removed. Once this is done, the pea can be ground into powder and the fiber can be extracted during softening. After that, the protein is extracted and Dinnissen's machines come into play. To ensure that no large chunks of product are transported, it is possible to integrate a centrifugal sifter into your production line. The centrifugal sifter can be specifically designed and has a unique, ergonomic and hygienic design. It is possible to purchase a CS (Centrifugal Sifter) with guidance. The rotor housing and sifting baskets can then be easily removed from the housing for easy cleaning by you or one of your operators.
Below are some pictures of a centrifugal sifter and several machines for processing pea fiber in your production line.
