Separators for Beverages
GEA separators are used for the de-oiling of citrus juices and separating citrus oil emulsions
This GEA separator was developed for de-oiling citrus juice and for separating citrus oil emulsions. It can be modified in design in numerous ways so that it can be adapted for various separation tasks. The product enters via the product feed through special rising channels in the disk stack of the separator bowl. The positions of the rising channels depends on the liquid component which is to be recovered in the cleanest condition. If for example in an oil-water mixture, this is the heavy component (water), the rising channels are close to the inner rims of the disks. For the light liquid component (oil) however, they are close to the disk periphery. If both components are to be obtained equally pure, the rising channels are in the middle of the disk stack. Separating efficiency and product quality can thus be perfectly customized. In this case both liquid phases are pressure discharged. For this purpose, a double centripetal pump is installed in the bowl top. Both paring disks are immerged in the separated liquid phases and discharge them under pressure. Solid particles sediment in the solids holding space of the bowl. This design allows 3-phase separation. With its self-cleaning bowl the machine is suitable for fully automatic CIP cleaning.

A new recipe for indulgence
What if your favorite chocolate didn’t require cocoa beans and your coffee was locally produced? As climate disruption, price hikes and ethical concerns hit two of our most beloved indulgences, scientists are reimagining how we produce them – using microbes, not monocultures. The goal: preserve the flavor and properties of coffee and chocolate while minimizing carbon emissions and improving food resilience.
Fueling the circular economy in shipping
Ports now compete not just on logistics, but on sustainability. At Greece’s Piraeus port, an advanced processing and recovery facility recycles ship waste oil into fuel. Equipped with GEA’s high-performance centrifuges, it sets a new benchmark for state-of-the-art, environmentally responsible port operations.
Closing the loop: key lessons for breweries from OeTTINGER
The 2022 CO2 shortage forced breweries to review their dependency on global supply chains. Many were forced to close, unable to carbonate their products. At its breweries in Germany, OeTTINGER GETRÄNKE is turning its own CO2 into a powerful lever for independence and sustainability – with the help of CO2 recovery technology from GEA.
