Oils & fats

Innovative process technology for maximum yields and first-class product quality

Oils & fats
Oils and fats are not only one of the most important elements for human food; they are also a valuable resource for the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries as well as a source of raw materials for the production of sustainable fuels. The quality of the end product and also the intelligent processing and recovery of by-products, and thus the extent of possible added value, depends very much on the respective production and refining methods. For this reason, GEA offers producers in this particular field a wide range of innovative solutions with which vegetable and animal raw materials containing oil can be recovered efficiently and which aim to introduce maximum efficiency into the entire process.

GEA process technology is used for the recovery of vegetable and animal oils and fats and also in the process of oil refining for press oil clarification, degumming, neutralization, dewaxing, fractionation and soapstock splitting. For the production of valuable vegetable oil, the recovery of industrial fats or the production of high-quality biodiesel - the process solutions of GEA have a key role to play in the recovery and processing of virtually all oils and fats. Centrifugal separation technology and filtration solutions, concentration installations and drying technology provide extremely gentle operation in all applications, guarantee maximum yields and are able to provide the oils and fats in all required qualities.
