GEA HB Craft Cider Series
Multi-Functional Centrifuges for Small and Mid-sized Cideries

Centrifuge Skids for Craft Brewers and Cider producers available in four sizes
The four GEA centrifuge skids for cideries are equipped with the patented hydry® ejection system. The solids ejected with this system are concentrated to a maximum: more beer from each brew. To prevent oxygen pick-up all machines are equipped with a maintenance-free hydrohermetic sealing. GEA always ensures highly gentle handling of products with their hydrosoft feed system. All skids come with a simple-to-operate control module. Each fully automated, stand-alone skid is ready for instant integration into your existing piping matrix.
GEA centrifuge skids for cideries optimize optimize all clarification steps. Centrifugation multiplies the clarifying power of natural gravity, thus saving production time and allowing a faster route to market.
