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 water equation
Across Europe, drought is a recurring reality – and no longer confined to the south. While water increasingly shapes where industries locate, its value is determined by local context. There are many technological routes to water efficiency in industrial processes, but location, energy needs and other factors are also key.
