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.

Features & Benefits
- Continuous solids separation
- Low cost of automation
- Lower space requirement
- Simultaneous degumming
- Rugged and robust design
- External gear concept of GEA ecoforce decanters

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.
