Benefits of our centrifuges
• Extend oil service life and oil change intervals
• Remove water and solid contaminants continuously
• Improve machine reliability and availability
• Reduce wear on bearings, pumps and critical components
• Improve process stability and product quality
• Reduce oil consumption and disposal costs
• Minimize maintenance requirements and downtime
• Compact design for easy integration into existing systems
Why metalworking oils need continuous treatment
Rolling, cutting and grinding oils are continuously exposed to contamination during operation. Water ingress, metal fines, dirt particles and process residues can accumulate in the circulation system and negatively affect lubrication performance.
If not removed, these contaminants may lead to:
• Increased equipment wear
• Corrosion of critical components
• Reduced product quality
• Increased maintenance requirements
• Unplanned production interruptions
Reliable oil treatment is therefore essential to maintain efficient and stable production.
Continuous oil purification with GEA separators
GEA centrifugal separators are designed for the continuous purification of rolling, cutting and grinding oils. Installed in a bypass loop, they continuously remove water, metal particles and other contaminants while production remains in operation.
The efficient separation process helps maintain oil quality, protects equipment and ensures consistent process performance. Compared with conventional settling systems, centrifugal separation delivers faster and more reliable contaminant removal while reducing maintenance effort.
Typical applications
• Rolling oils
• Cutting oils
• Grinding oils
• Bearing oils
• Metalworking lubrication systems
• Steel and aluminum rolling mills
• Machining and grinding operations
Maximize oil performance and equipment life
Keep your metalworking oils cleaner for longer, reduce operating costs and improve machine reliability with GEA's proven centrifugal separation technology.

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.
