Liquid-liquid extraction
GEA solid-wall disk-type separators are used for liquid-liquid extraction processes
The separator is equipped with a solid-wall bowl. The product flows through the hydrohermetic feed, which minimizes the shearing forces for sensitive products, and is broken down into a light phase and a heavy phase in the disk stack. The separated components are discharged under pressure by means of the corresponding centripetal pumps through outlets. The use of a disk stack increases the equivalent clarification area S of the separator many times over compared with a centrifuge with the same volume which consists of a single chamber.
GEA separators for pharma extraction are designed in accordance to GMP requirements.
GEA clarifiers for pharma extraction are used in solid-liquid extraction processes with low solid contents (up to approx. 7 % by vol.).
Even the best centrifuges cannot function optimally if they are not partnered with control systems of equal quality. For their range of separators and decanters, GEA offers standardized as well as tailor-made solutions for machine automation with many features to meet customer requirements.
Corrective repairs for your GEA separators and decanters
Is a FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) of your centrifuge not possible on site due to current travel restrictions, a very tight schedule or other urgent reasons? Are you generally looking for ways to make business processes more digital and to sustainably reduce costs and time?

Something caught Farmer Tom's eye. Instead of another product demo, GEA showcased innovations via AR. That's only the start of GEA's interactive digital farm.
GEA scientists are working with researchers at the Graz University of Technology to configure a homogenization process and technology that turns eucalyptus pulp into 3D-printed, organic structures mimicking human veins, arteries and other tissues.
Companies like GEA process and store large amounts of sensitive data. However, security incidents, from ransomware attacks to physical intrusions and industrial espionage, are ever-expanding. GEA’s effective protection of its business partners’ data – as well as its own proprietary information – is evolving into a competitive advantage. We spoke with Iskro Mollov, GEA’s Chief Information Security Officer, about what it takes to protect a global business in a volatile world.
