Function of the GEA GEA varipond® technology Where the clarified liquid exits the decanter bowl, there is an axially adjustable regulating ring that determines the gap width of the passage opening: smaller gap, greater resistance, lower water discharge, higher liquid level. Intelligent sensor technology regulates the gap width fully automatically depending on the desired liquid level in the decanter bowl by moving the movable regulating ring to the optimum position while the decanter centrifuge is running.
