GEA offers classifying decanters for barite recovery in drilling mud treatment.
In order to recover the precious barite and recycle it back into the process GEA has developed a special classifying decanter. This special decanter removes only very heavy solids from the mud. Our GEA rigMaster CF series from the new ecoforce decanter generation is used for this application – with the inherent advantages such as high torque, maximum availability, high throughput capacities, excellent classifying results and low energy consumption.

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.

From the orchards of the Cape to store shelves across 40 countries, the South African packhouse Betko has built a business on freshness, timing and reliability. With GEA’s controlled atmosphere refrigeration technology, the company can now store apples and pears for up to 14 months and cut energy consumption by 20%, with a partnership of more than 30 years at the heart of it all.
