Polishing separators from GEA ensure the required premium quality of olive, palm, avocado and many other recovered vegetable oils by removing all residues while handling the product with extreme care
Once again, GEA equipment is state of the art here. The self-cleaning models reduce downtime and maintenance costs to a minimum, while handling the oil with the utmost care. The GEA hydrostop system ensures optimum product yield. With this system, the partial discharges can be adjusted so precisely that the liquid is retained in the bowl when solids are ejected, thus avoiding product losses.

Nozzle separators are used in the conventional process with vertical clarifiers in palm oil mills. GEA also offers special nozzle separators to the palm oil industry in order to recover oil from sterilizer condensate.

For the recovery of olive, palm and other vegetable crude oil the decanter is always the heart of the installation. 3-Phase decanters separate both, the olive pulp or the palm oil sludge into oil, water and solids.

The big advantage of the 2-phase separating decanter for olive and palm oil recovery is the enormous savings when it comes to dilution water.

Even the best centrifuges cannot function optimally if they are not partnered with control systems of equal quality. For their range of separators and decanters, GEA offers standardized as well as tailor-made solutions for machine automation with many features to meet customer requirements.

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.
