Decanter centrifuge for testing and up-scaling
pilotMaster
Robust decanter for up-scaling tests, available in ATEX design and protected against erosion and corrosion.
Maximum scale-up reliability and optimum process safety
GEA pilotMaster gives you the freedom
- to adapt to your next development needs
- to a reliable up-scaling to production size
- to develop your next product success with low capital expenditure
Also available: GEA Hydro Drive
Easy and simpleinfinite adjustment of the differential speed ranges I (1 – 15 UPM) and II (10 – 80 UPM). Ideal for changing products / product conditions.
Adjustment can be done within less than 5 minutes without using tools or changing pulleys.
Simply adapt to your next product
The pilotMaster is the ideal machine to reliably scale up to the respective production capacity providing the highest flexibility in bowl speed from 1,000 rpm- 6,500 rpm, a differential speed range of 1 - 80 rpm without changing the pulley set and the same geometric configuration compared to the larger production machines.
GEA Separation Test Center
GEA centrifuges are not off-the-shelf products. Rather, for optimum use, they must be selected and adjusted specifically for the process of the user. This is supported by the GEA separation test center.
Tests and analytics can be made at customer site or in the GEA separation test center. Please contact us for more information.
Features and benefits
- All product-contacting parts are made of high-alloyed duplex steels, super duplex steels or Hastelloy C276. Depending on the application, the gaskets are made of NBR, FKM, FFKM, EPDM
- Chemical cleaning after separation possible
- Explosion-protected centrifuges available:
- Gas-tight decanters from GEA comply with the test criteria of the strict European ATEX standard or other EX regulations
- The oxygen atmosphere in the separator is displaced with inert gas and the excess pressure is maintained during operation to assure inert gas blanketing.
- Available for temperatures up to 130 °C
