A self-emptying separator includes a rotatable drum with an inlet, a liquid outlet, outlet openings for solid material, and a control system. A flowable starting product is cleared of the solids in continuous operation in a centrifugal field in the rotating drum. A continuous discharge of a clear phase is performed. A solid phase is discharged via the outlet openings from a solids collecting space of the drum into an annular solids catcher. The solids catcher has a device for generating a fluid curtain against which the solids, issuing from the outlet openings for solid material, impact.

A method for processing thin stillage (TS), characterized by the following steps: a) feeding of thin stillage (TS) into a working vessel (); b) concentrating of thin stillage (TS) in a filtration unit (); and c) returning of a first substream of concentrated thin stillage to the thin stillage (TSI) present in the working vessel () in order to adjust the solids content, and apparatus for producing a protein-containing product of value.
