The GEA pectinMaster not only optimizes your yield, it may also decide the economic efficiency of your plant. High separation efficiency, ideally in combination with a GEA clarifier, may reduce the total number of the process steps in your plant. As a result you may reduce production times, equipment and increase your earnings.
GEA pectinMaster in hygienic design is especially made in accordance with your process requirements.

Yield optimization even during production by the patented GEA varipond system
Optimize your yield - even during process - should conditions vary: GEA varipond allows you to adapt the liquid level in the bowl seamlessly at any time by simply altering the air pressure.
Product contacting parts protected against corrosion and abrasion
Product contacted parts of the maschine are subjected to very harsh conditions. To protect your investment and ensure a long service life of the machine, all product contacting parts of the GEA pectinMaster are specially cladded against corrosion and abrasion. Maintenance is reduced substantially while the machine enjoys a reliable protection.
Hygienic design as a standard
The hygienic design of the pectinMaster has a number of jet spays to reliably clean all product-contacting parts inside the decanter centrifuge. Moreover, special cleaning procedures consisting of pre-cleaning and CIP-programs ensure a maximum cleanliness of the machine. Hygienic design as such means a reduction of gaps and edges and especially that the possibility for a product to stick to the machine is literally reduced to zero.
Features & advantages
Features & advantages- Optimized yield, may result in reducing the number of your entire process steps
- GEA patented varipond system for the seamless optimization of yield even during process
- Hygienic design for maximum cleanliness
- CIP-able
- Low wear and tear: Protected against corrorion and abrasion. All product-contacting parts are made of high-alloyed stainless steels
- Secure option: Gas-tight decanters complying with the test criteria of the strict European ATEX standard. The oxygen atmosphere in the decanter is displaced with inert gas and the excess pressure is maintained during operation to assure inert gas blanketing.
- Pure product, high efficiency: non-product contacting GEA summation-drive with intelligent kinematics for high differential speeds and torques which enables processing of high solid capacities. High efficiency of the drive since the variable speed motor feeds in energy and does not brake

GEA Insights

The breakthrough that changed spray drying
In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.

Beyond the machine: unlocking better plant performance
An efficient machine does not automatically make an efficient factory. Real improvement often starts by looking beyond individual equipment and understanding how processes, energy systems and operating decisions affect one another. It’s a holistic approach designed to uncover opportunities that might otherwise be missed.

How a valve reshapes the way food and drinks are made
In food and beverage plants, valves are commonly operated using compressed air. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology moves valves with water instead, in a closed, digitally controlled circuit. The result is a valve that can be held exactly in place and steered in fine-tuned steps. This results in lower energy use and greater control.
