GEA Decanters provide high flexibility in processing many kinds of plant based beverages with optimum performance

Think plant-based: A decanter centrifuge is the indispensable tool for beverage producers to extract liquid product from mashed and watered cereal grains, ensuring high yield, optimum hygienic purity and premium taste. The slurry is fed into the GEA CF Decanter Centrifuge for the central step: to separate the undesired fibers and keep the desired starch and β-glucans in the product. This decanter has been designed for the food and beverage industry. The machine is completely CIP-able in special hygienic design.
The clarified liquid is discharged under pressure by a centripetal pump. The solids are discharged by gravity via a funnel. The product connections are designed according to DIN 118564. The machine is driven by a frequency-controlled 3-phase AC motor via V-belts. GEA summationdrive with intelligent kinematics for high differential speeds and torques which enables processing of high solid capacities. Full torque up to the maximum differential speed; this allows processing high solid capacities. High efficiency of the drive since the variable speed motor feeds in energy and does not brake. Automatic adaptation of the differential speed by means of frequency-controlled motor. All product-contacting parts are made of stainless steel. FDA-approved materials are available for the seals.

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.

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.
