Centrifuges & Separation Equipment

Mechanical Separation

GEA is the leading company in the world in the field of mechanical separation. We provide technology solutions for the food, chemistry, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, energy, shipping and environmental industries, providing equipment for the efficient processing of liquids and liquid mixtures and ensuring considerable added value for the end product.

Based on experience gained with more than 3000 process applications and a procedure for rapidly translating innovations into marketable processes, GEA can supply a comprehensive range of mechanical separation technologies, including products such as homogenizers, pumps, valves and tank cleaning systems.

Our integrated and co-ordinated approach to research and development, know-how and technology transfer, and a culture of continuous innovation encourages the optimisation of technologies and the development of new markets. Synergies are utilized to provide application-specific solutions that are fully adapted to meet the needs of individual customer wishes.

Providing solutions in areas such as enzymes, hormones, human blood proteins, mammalian cell culture, pharmaceutical proteins, starter cultures and vaccines, the company’s technology plays a key role in the recovery of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and optimizing production processes and products.

Centrifugal separation is a vital part of vaccine production. Processing valuable cellular components in a reliable, smooth and efficient way is an economic driver, whereas safe and superior hygienic processing is a technological one. Combined, they offer excellence, innovation and efficiency — the core features of all our products. In short, GEA has been instrumental in advancing mechanical separation technology.
