FA - Self-Cleaning Filter
The self-cleaning filter removes dust from the air in pneumatic lines used to transport raw materials, or from other dust sources.
The dusty air is piped into the chamber containing the bag filters; the speed variation makes the heavy particles drop to the bottom, any residual dust is trapped in the bag filters and the clean air flows out the top of the filter. The layer of dust on the bag filters is eliminated by a jet of compressed air that hits the bag filters in the opposite direction to the airflow at timed intervals. A specific manometer constantly detects the pressure loss between the two zones of the filter (checking the degree of efficiency of the filter bags). The machine consists of a frame and a cylindrical doby holding the filter bags, while the bottom may be conical or fitted with a scraper bed.

How SmartParc is rewriting the rules of food production
Thanks to a new SmartParc manufacturing site, food processors in the U.K. are cutting their running costs and emissions. With GEA heating and cooling technology at its core, this collaborative production model demonstrates how innovation is accelerating the industry’s net-zero ambitions.
The food science playground
“Brewing eggs is like brewing beer.” It’s the kind of comparison that makes you smile – and then it clicks: Something complex suddenly feels simple. Through this personal film, set in the agricultural heartland of the U.S., we explore precision fermentation and the real-world work it takes to turn an idea into food.
