Food Processing Separation and Dewatering Equipment
Dairy Processing, Olive Oil Extraction, Meat Processing Water, and Other Food Processing Equipment
Archer Separation helps all types of food processing operations with a multitude of liquid–solid separation needs. We specialize in complex and challenging applications throughout the United States and Canada.
We were founded to provide innovative, reliable and dependable solutions at an affordable cost, and we keep looking for new technologies, processes and products that meet your needs more efficiently and effectively.
Explore the applications below, and contact us to see how we can help you.
Food processing applications
Meat Processing and Water Clarification
Dissolved air flotation for slaughterhouse and meat processing wastewater.
Dairy Processing Centrifuges for Milk Separation
Disc-stack separators for cream and skim milk separation.
Olive Oil Processing, Extraction and Separation Systems
Decanters and disc-stack separators for extraction and polishing.
Potato Chips, Crisps, and French Fries Starch Separation and Dewatering
Recover starch and solids so process water can be reused.
Plant-Based Vegan Milk Alternatives Preparation and Separation
Decanter centrifuges for almond, oat, rice and soy milk production.
Rendering Centrifuges for Beef, Poultry and Swine
Three-phase decanters and polishing separators for fat, water and solids.
Food processing wastewater
Most food plants also have to treat their wastewater before discharge. A typical Archer line screens the wastewater, conditions it with coagulant and polymer, clarifies it in a DAF system, and dewaters the float in a decanter centrifuge.
