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.

The new GEA Application and Technology Center (ATC) in Sarstedt, south of Hannover, is neither a showroom nor a substitute for a lab. It is a place for testing, data collection and early decisions. This is where it becomes clear whether a biological concept can become a robust industrial process. That step is bigger than it may seem.

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.
