FAS - Self-Cleaning Silo Filter
The self-cleaning filter for silos, traps any dust in the air flowing through the pneumatic lines that transport raw materials during silo loading operations.
The dust-laden air is piped into the chamber containing the bag filters. The speed variation causes the heavy particles to drop to the bottom. Any residual dust is trapped in the bag filters and the clean air flows out from the top of the filter. The layer of dust on the bag filters is removed by a jet of compressed air hitting the bag filters in the opposite direction at timed intervals. A specific manometer constantly detects pressure loss between the two zones of the filter (monitoring the efficiency of the filter bags). The machine features a cylindrical body housing the filter bags attached directly to the top of the silos.

Beyond the firewall: Securing what matters at GEA
Companies like GEA process and store large amounts of sensitive data. However, security incidents, from ransomware attacks to physical intrusions and industrial espionage, are ever-expanding. GEA’s effective protection of its business partners’ data – as well as its own proprietary information – is evolving into a competitive advantage. We spoke with Iskro Mollov, GEA’s Chief Information Security Officer, about what it takes to protect a global business in a volatile world.
Smart, stylish, circular: polycotton recycling with Circ
Resource-efficient fashion has been a long-sought ambition amid the fashion industry’s considerable contributions to global carbon emissions. The need to close the loop by recycling textile fibers into virgin-like materials is higher than ever but seemed like a distant dream until now: Circ, GEA’s American customer and pioneer in the field of textile recycling, might be rewriting the future of the fashion industry.
New food tipping point
Alternative proteins are promising – yet still expensive to produce. The usual response is that scaling up will solve this issue. But what if the solution was really about getting better, not just bigger? From more efficient, high-yield processes to upcycling waste heat, engineers are reshaping how we grow food.
