Reliable, efficient, cost-competitive
GEA meat Decanter pro series
The GEA meat Decanter pro Series is engineered for efficient, robust, and cost-competitive separation in the processing of animal by-products.
Designed for applications like inedible rendering, biofuels or meat and bone meals, meat Decanters pro deliver high performance, increased G‑volume, and standardized configurations - ideal for rendering plants, slaughterhouses, and specialized by-product processors.
Built for processing of animal by-products into feed-grade and technical fats and proteins as well as biofuels feedstock
The meat Decanter pro series covers a wide range of processing tasks, including:
- High-temperature / dry rendering
- Blood meal processing
- Feed-grade applications
- Biofuels feedstock
Depending on process requirements, pro Decanters are available in 2-phase or 3-phase configurations, offering flexibility across multiple raw material streams and product goals for renderers and animal protein producers.
Pro Decanter Portfolio at a Glance
The portfolio spans from compact units to high-capacity machines, supporting various throughput demands with a capacity range from 1 – 10 m³/h and a feed dry solids load of 50 – 1,000 kg/h.
Increased Performance Where It Matters
Compared to previous ACD decanter generations (i.e. ACD 305), the meat Decanter pro series delivers a significant increase in G‑volume and performance with up to 27% higher G-volume.
Higher G‑forces and optimized bowl volumes translate directly into
- Improved separation efficiency
- Higher solids dryness
- Increased fat recovery
—all with a standardized, cost-efficient design approach.
Robust Design for animal fats and proteins production processes
The pro Decanter Series is designed with durability and reliability as top priorities in animal by-product processing. Standard materials for these applications are
Scroll: Duplex steel 1.4462
Bowl: Duplex steel 1.447
Additional wear protection solutions, i.e. tiles are available depending on machine size and application. The same applies to auto-greasing solutions, bearing-temperature and vibro sensors.
Drive options
- Single or two-gear drive concepts (machine-size dependent)
- High differential speed capability for stable solids transport
- Designed specifically for AFP operational ranges
Typical Customers & Industries
The pro Decanter series is successfully applied by:
- Slaughterhouses
- Animal by-product processors
- Rendering plants
- Engineering companies
- Feed and protein producers
Its price-competitive positioning makes it especially attractive for markets facing strong cost pressure while still demanding reliable separation performance.
Why choose the meat Decanter pro series?
- Increased G‑volume and performance vs. previous generations
- Highly standardized design
- Optimized for animal rendering conditions
- Strong price-performance ratio
- Proven across multiple animal fats and protein processing installations and customer types
Compared to the GEA meatMaster Decanter series, the pro series focuses on standardization and cost efficiency
meat Decanter pro vs. GEA meatMaster decanter
- Designed specifically for feed-grade animal by-products applications
- Reduced sanitary design features compared to GEA meatMaster decanters
- No centripetal pump, Varipond, or hinged hood
- Smaller differential speed ranges
- Limited sensor options (focused on essential monitoring)
This makes the pro series the right choice for applications where functionality and competitiveness outweigh hygienic design, flexible operation and process optimization requirements.

Shifts in food packaging: 4 trends
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.
