In oil refining processes clarifying decanters are used for press oil clarification. Compared to conventional hot seed pressing plants with leaf filter the process setup becomes much simpler when using a decanter.
Using a decanter combines foots removal with partial degumming, in case of chemical refining the result of this combination of two process steps is often sufficient.
On top, GEA decanters are easy to operate and automate and they need only little space. Compared to filter systems they even save a lot of energy because they do not need pressurized air for cleaning. So if you are looking for a more cost-saving and sustainable solution, decanters are your first choice.
With their robust design our decanters can handle oil temperatures of up to 105° C. External gears separate product from drive room, oil lubrication of all bearings, special materials and high quality, wear-resistant material make our GEA ecoforce decanters especially suited for hot applications and continuous heavy duty.
GEA separators are used for degumming, neutralization, and dewaxing of vegetable as well as animal oils and fats. Special applications for our centrifuges in this industry are Ni-catalyst removal, lecithin deoiling, bleaching earth deoiling, re-refining of used frying fats as well as transesterification processes (e. g. for making biodiesel), epo...
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.
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?
Here, too, we are at your side with the professional quality you are accu...

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.
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.
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.
