Enhancing quality in power plants
Efficient operation of diesel engine power plants relies on more than just robust engines — it depends on the purity and quality of every fluid involved. GEA’s advanced separator centrifuges are engineered to remove contaminants from fuel, lubricating oil and cooling water, safeguarding engine components and extending service intervals. By ensuring optimal fluid cleanliness, GEA’s solutions help power plant operators achieve higher efficiency, lower emissions and reduced maintenance costs, supporting reliable energy generation in even the most demanding environments.
Our self-cleaning centrifuges, featuring the innovative GEA UnitrolPlus systems, automatically monitor the water level in the oil and the separation of solid residues around the clock. This technology guarantees maximum separation efficiency for various fuel and lube oils, ensuring your engines operate smoothly and efficiently.
A key advantage of our equipment is the extended service intervals, with standard maintenance required only after 8,000 to 16,000 operating hours. This significantly reduces the need for frequent maintenance and lowers personnel costs.
Additionally, all our separation systems are available as modular solutions, offered as "ready-to-connect" systems. This modular approach drastically reduces on-site installation time, allowing for quicker setup and minimal disruption to your operations.

Ancillary Equipment
Ancillary equipment for centrifuges contributes to more sustainable production by making utilities reusable, saving energy and increasing the overall process efficiency.
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...
Machine automation & control
Every plant or machine, which is designed for a reliable long-term operation, requires a control unit that enables the communication between the different system parts. It is one of the most important component that guarantees reliability and efficient operation.
GEA Insights
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.
Beyond the machine: unlocking better plant performance
An efficient machine does not automatically make an efficient factory. Real improvement often starts by looking beyond individual equipment and understanding how processes, energy systems and operating decisions affect one another. It’s a holistic approach designed to uncover opportunities that might otherwise be missed.
How a valve reshapes the way food and drinks are made
In food and beverage plants, valves are commonly operated using compressed air. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology moves valves with water instead, in a closed, digitally controlled circuit. The result is a valve that can be held exactly in place and steered in fine-tuned steps. This results in lower energy use and greater control.
