Centrifuge: Chamber Bowl Separator
Chamber Bowl Separators Pharma Biotech
This separator has been designed for protein recovery. PKB 25 - 300-600 l/h* & PKB 45 - 500-1000 l/h*
Overview
The valuable solids are separated out in the chamber and periodically removed by hand. Separation is executed by reliable, cooled chamber centrifuges. The bowl inserts divides the bowl in two chambers. The product is fed into the center of the rotating bowl through the feed. It flows from the center to the periphery through both chambers, whereas the finer particles are separated out in the outer chamber. The clarifying efficiency remains constant until the chambers are filled with proteins.

A new recipe for indulgence
What if your favorite chocolate didn’t require cocoa beans and your coffee was locally produced? As climate disruption, price hikes and ethical concerns hit two of our most beloved indulgences, scientists are reimagining how we produce them – using microbes, not monocultures. The goal: preserve the flavor and properties of coffee and chocolate while minimizing carbon emissions and improving food resilience.
Fueling the circular economy in shipping
Ports now compete not just on logistics, but on sustainability. At Greece’s Piraeus port, an advanced processing and recovery facility recycles ship waste oil into fuel. Equipped with GEA’s high-performance centrifuges, it sets a new benchmark for state-of-the-art, environmentally responsible port operations.
Closing the loop: key lessons for breweries from OeTTINGER
The 2022 CO2 shortage forced breweries to review their dependency on global supply chains. Many were forced to close, unable to carbonate their products. At its breweries in Germany, OeTTINGER GETRÄNKE is turning its own CO2 into a powerful lever for independence and sustainability – with the help of CO2 recovery technology from GEA.
