No oxygen pick-up
The patented GEA twin hydrohermetic sealing on GEA’s beer centrifuges completely seals the product from the atmosphere, eliminating numerous problems for the brewer. Oxygen is safely kept away from the beer, simply with water and CO₂ used in a wear-free sealing system on the top of the bowl. The beer is fed gently into the bowl via the hydrohermetic feed system
