Centrifuge
3-Phase decanters are widely used when processing by-products from fish. They are installed for the whole fish process, the 3-Phase process, for the recovery of protein hydrolyzate or the treatment of canning wash water. In the animal by-products industry they are used for the processing of extraction residues in gelatin production, flotation sludge treatment and wet rendering.
With this new decanter platform GEA has now combined the demands for high mechanical and sanitary reliability as well as the wish for maximum flexibility for investment and practical operation. The result: GEA offers an entire decanter family in a uniform design concept from the smallest right through to the largest decanter, ranging from the drive to the identical pedestal bearing principle. The advantage for the user, operating personnel and spare part maintenance: uniformity across the board. Nonetheless, due to its modular principle every decanter can be customized right down to the smallest detail: Low or high torque, flat or steep conical angle, low or high differential speed, hot or normal operation, oil or grease lubrication, special alloys for corrosion and erosion resistance or hygienic design with rotating feed pipes, spray nozzles and food grade materials.

Rapid and clean processes, high yields and excellent product quality – our customers benefit in many ways with our separator portfolio for the recovery of animal fats and proteins.

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.

The new GEA Application and Technology Center (ATC) in Sarstedt, south of Hannover, is neither a showroom nor a substitute for a lab. It is a place for testing, data collection and early decisions. This is where it becomes clear whether a biological concept can become a robust industrial process. That step is bigger than it may seem.

Thermoforming has long played a central role in food packaging. Now it is facing a major shift. As regulations tighten, materials evolve and costs rise, form fill seal lines must do more than run reliably – they now shape how food stays fresh, affordable and recyclable. Take a look at the key thermoforming trends informing the food packaging and delivery landscape.
