GEA sludge Decanter
Resource efficient solution
As one of our most resource-efficient solutions, our GEA sludge Decanter series carries the Add Better label.*
Depending on the machine size, the GEA sludge Decanter pro series offers energy savings of 15 to 60 percent, while the prime series achieves savings of 22 to 53 percent.
The Add Better label is validated by TÜV Rheinland and based on a calculation and documentation process that meets ISO 14021.
*The Add Better label relates to the serial product GEA sludge Decanter pro (released between 2018 and 2022) and GEA sludge Decanter prime (released in 2018). The comparison refers to the predecessor models.

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.
