Separators for recovering plasma and meal from animal blood
From starter models for abattoirs to fully-automatic high-performing centrifuges for professional blood processors
High-value protein source
When the blood with added anticoagulant is separated, plasma is recovered as a light liquid component. It contains 7 to 9 percent protein with a very high proportion of essential amino acids, and hence has a correspondingly high nutritional value. The blood plasma recovered can be fed into fresh processing or further processed to make blood plasma powder. The second phase from separation of animal blood is the blood concentrate which can be dried to make blood meal.
GEA plasmaprime and for small scale blood processing
GEA offers entry-level separators with smaller capacities which are easy to operate and handle for small scale blood processors, e.g. small abattoirs as well as fully automatic, high efficiency and high capacity centrifuges for full scale blood processing specialists. Whether small or big, all our separators feature hygienic design for high quality food-grade plasma. Our smaller plasmaprime separators focus on simplicity to make it easy for our customers to add value to their slaughtering processes by additionally recovering the plasma. The separators are easy to integrate, the overall process setup is straightforward and intuitive to operate and clean. Our separators with higher capacity focus on highest efficiency with fully automatic cleaning and operation for maximum utilization, most gentle product handling for highest separation efficiency and a design for fast and easy service.

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.
