GEA Decanter – indispensable for plant-based beverage production
Think plant-based: A decanter centrifuge is the indispensable tool for beverage producers to extract liquid product from mashed and watered cereal grains, ensuring high yield, optimum hygienic purity and premium taste. The slurry is fed into the GEA CF Decanter Centrifuge for the central step: to separate the undesired fibers and keep the desired starch and β-glucans in the product. This decanter has been designed for the food and beverage industry. The machine is completely CIP-able in special hygienic design.
The clarified liquid is discharged under pressure by a centripetal pump. The solids are discharged by gravity via a funnel. The product connections are designed according to DIN 118564. The machine is driven by a frequency-controlled 3-phase AC motor via V-belts. GEA summationdrive with intelligent kinematics for high differential speeds and torques which enables processing of high solid capacities. Full torque up to the maximum differential speed; this allows processing high solid capacities. High efficiency of the drive since the variable speed motor feeds in energy and does not brake. Automatic adaptation of the differential speed by means of frequency-controlled motor. All product-contacting parts are made of stainless steel. FDA-approved materials are available for the seals.
Features & Advantages:
- Maximum yield from a highly efficient extraction process
- Multi-purpose flexibility
- Perfect for continuous processing and high solid contents
- Full safety and purity for sensitive product
- Optimized CIP program
- Available in a plug & play skid design

The breakthrough that changed spray drying
In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.

Das Ganze im Blick: Wie Anlagen dauerhaft besser laufen
Eine effiziente Maschine macht noch keine effiziente Produktion. Echte Verbesserungen beginnen oft damit, den Blick über die einzelnen Anlagenelemente hinaus zu richten und zu verstehen, wie sich Prozesse, Energiesysteme und betriebliche Entscheidungen gegenseitig beeinflussen. Ein solcher ganzheitlicher Ansatz hilft beim Identifizieren von Potenzialen, die sonst verborgen bleiben.

Wie eine neue Ventiltechnologie die Produktion von Lebensmitteln und Getränken verändert
In der Lebensmittel- und Getränkeindustrie werden Ventile traditionell mit Druckluft betrieben. Die GEA Hydract®-Antriebstechnologie betätigt Ventile dagegen mit Wasser in einem geschlossenen, digital gesteuerten Kreislauf. Das Ergebnis: Ventile lassen sich präzise in jeder gewünschten Position halten und in fein abgestuften Schritten steuern. Dadurch sinken der Energieverbrauch und gleichzeitig steigt die Prozesskontrolle erheblich.
