Direct Drive. Direct Impact.
They save energy, are smaller, even quieter, are exchanged in literally no time so that your centrifugal separator does what you want it to do: rotate and make money - direct drives have a direct impact on your results, sustainability goals and production environment.
For the first time, direct drives are now also available for separators of smaller capacities so that you can profit from all the benefits of this design principle regardless of capacity.

Pre-assembled drive-spindle unit
Fast and easy exchange of drive system.
Reduced footprint
360° accessibility, less weight, better and easier handling during service.
Reduced noise level
Up to 7db less noise, perceived up to 50% less.
No cooling ribs for dairy and renewables applications

GEA Insights
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.
