2-Phase Separating Decanter
The 2-Phase Separating Decanter is a centrifuge in which the clarified and separated oil phase is gravity discharged on the decanter's liquid side while the heavy liquid phase leaves the decanter together with the solids.
3-Phase Separating Decanter
The 3-Phase Separating Decanter is a centrifuge in which two liquids of different densities are separated from each other. At the same time solids are separated and discharged.
Centrifugal Separator
GEA separators are designed for liquid-based applications. Using centrifugal force, they are used for separating suspensions consisting of two or more phases of different densities, i.e. they can be used for liquid-liquid separation, for liquid-liquid-solid separation or for liquid-solid separation. They are equally as effective at separating liq...
Clarifying Decanter
Clarifying decanters are designed for the continuous separation of suspensions into solids and clarified liquid, without interrupting the feed of the suspension.
