Maximum yield. Outstanding product purity. Proven robustness.
GEA meatMaster decanter centrifuges are engineered for high‑performance separation processes in fat melting, protein recovery and rendering plants. They are designed to recover animal fats and proteins with maximum efficiency, reliability, and hygiene, making them a core component in modern processing facilities.
Available in 2‑phase or 3‑phase designs and especially for food-grade and cosmetics applications, the meatMaster series adapts perfectly to a wide range of process requirements.
Applications for GEA meatMaster decanter centrifuges
Designed for demanding animal by‑product processing to produce high quality fats and proteins, GEA meatMaster decanter centrifuges are used across multiple process stages, including:
- Recovery of edible animal fats
- Processing of bones and skins into gelatin or collagen
- Protein extraction from animal raw materials
- Production of protein hydrolysates
- Separation of coagulated blood and serum for blood meal production
Operating Principle of GEA meatMaster decanters - Flexible separation concepts
Depending on the application and desired end product, GEA meatMaster decanters are available in two configurations:
- 2‑phase (clarification): Separation of solids from a single liquid phase
- 3‑phase (separation): Simultaneous separation into two liquid phases (light and heavy) and solids
Key Benefits: All advantages of GEA decanters for high-quality animal fats and proteins at a glance
- High product yields
- Excellent product purity
- Energy‑efficient operation
- Robust, heavy‑duty design
- Advanced wear protection for maximum uptime
- Easy and reliable operation
- Hygienic design for food, petfood and cosmetic applications
Technology highlights of GEA decanters in animal by-products applications
GEA Varipond C – always the optimal setting
Feed composition and flow rates can vary significantly when processing natural raw materials. GEA Varipond C allows instant adjustment of pond depth and separation zone — even during operation. Settings can be selected manually or automatically, and optimized operating modes can be stored as recipes in the control system. This ensures consistently high separation performance under changing process conditions.
Superior cleanability and hygiene: GEA meatMaster decanters are designed for excellent cleanability, making them the first choice for food-grade animal fats and proteins.
Spray nozzles
Spray nozzles clean the bowl inside and outside.
Double-walled feed pipe
The double‑walled feed pipe enables cleaning of the scroll body and centripetal pump zones.
Box distributor
The box distributor with straight, simple geometry ensures highly effective CIP cleaning.
CIP cleaning
During CIP, controlled speed changes create turbulences so the cleaning liquid reaches every corner of the bowl and scroll.
Deep pond design for higher efficiency
The deep pond bowl design creates higher pressure on separated solids, resulting in:
- Improved clarification performance
- Higher dry solids content
- Reduced energy consumption due to discharge at smaller diameters compared to shallow pond designs
External gearbox for maximum product safety
The processing area and drive section are structurally separated. External gearboxes are protected from hot product temperatures and ensure:
- Higher operational reliability
- Longer gearbox lifetime
- No risk of lubricant contamination of discharged solids
Energy-efficient operation
GEA summationdrive
Energy‑efficient GEA summationdrive
The GEA summationdrive provides full torque across the entire differential speed range while supplying only the power actually required.
Key advantages include:
- Highly energy‑efficient power transmission
- Up to 10 % energy savings compared to conventional drive systems
- No energy recycling losses
- No additional electrical components or circulating belt drives required

El avance que revolucionó el secado por atomización
En 1976, los ingenieros de NIRO respondieron a un reto competitivo replanteándose las posibilidades del secado por atomización. Su idea se materializó en la torre multietapa MSD. Cincuenta años después, ese mismo principio fundamental contribuye a transformar los líquidos en los productos en polvo que se utilizan en productos nutricionales esenciales y en medicamentos importantes en todo el mundo. Perfeccionada a lo largo de décadas de experiencia en ingeniería, conocimiento de las necesidades de los clientes y desarrollo continuo, la torre de atomización MSD es una historia de innovación con un impacto duradero.
Más allá de la máquina: cómo potenciar el rendimiento de la planta
El hecho de que una máquina sea eficiente no significa que la fábrica lo sea. La mejora real suele comenzar por ir más allá de los equipos individuales y comprender cómo los procesos, los sistemas energéticos y las decisiones operativas se influyen mutuamente. Se trata de un enfoque holístico diseñado para descubrir oportunidades que, de otro modo, podrían pasarse por alto.
Cómo una válvula transforma la manera de elaborar alimentos y bebidas
En las plantas de alimentación y bebidas, las válvulas suelen accionarse mediante aire comprimido. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology mueve las válvulas mediante agua, en un circuito cerrado controlado digitalmente. El resultado es una válvula que puede mantenerse en su sitio con exactitud y regularse con precisión. Esto se traduce en un menor consumo energético y un mayor control.
