From starter models for abattoirs to fully-automatic high-performing centrifuges for professional blood processors
When the blood with added anticoagulant is separated, plasma is recovered as a light liquid component. It contains 7 to 9 percent protein with a very high proportion of essential amino acids, and hence has a correspondingly high nutritional value. The blood plasma recovered can be fed into fresh processing or further processed to make blood plasma powder. The second phase from separation of animal blood is the blood concentrate which can be dried to make blood meal.
GEA offers entry-level separators with smaller capacities which are easy to operate and handle for small scale blood processors, e.g. small abattoirs as well as fully automatic, high efficiency and high capacity centrifuges for full scale blood processing specialists. Whether small or big, all our separators feature hygienic design for high quality food-grade plasma. Our smaller plasmaprime separators focus on simplicity to make it easy for our customers to add value to their slaughtering processes by additionally recovering the plasma.
