GEA offers a comprehensive range of disk-stack separators specifically engineered for the efficient processing of animal fats and proteins.
Whether the objective is maximum fat or protein yields or qualities, efficient defatting of i.e. stickwater streams, whether basic or high sanitary standards, our high-speed separator portfolio for animal by-products provide reliable, proven solutions for every processing requirement.
GEA separators for processing animal by-products are designed for two key process objectives:
Defatting:
Removal of fat from stickwater or presswater
Focus on minimizing fat content in the water phase (= heavy liquid phase)
To achieve the best possible defatting of the water phase, the rising channel in the disk-stack has to be positioned at the stack's center. In the rising channel, the two liquid phases separate from one another; if the channel is positioned close to the disk-stack's center the heavy phase (water) is given as much space as possible inside the disk-stack. This allows even the smallest impurities to be removed from the water.
Polishing:
Final cleaning of fats and oils
Focus on achieving optimal fat quality and purity (= light liquid phase)
If the focus is on a maximally purified light phase - that is, the oil or fat - the rising channel should be positioned on the outside so that the oil phase has as much space as possible inside the disk-stack.

L'équation de l'eau
Partout en Europe, la sécheresse est une réalité récurrente, qui ne se limite plus au sud. Si l'eau influence de plus en plus le choix de la localisation des industries, sa valeur est déterminée par le contexte local. Il existe de nombreuses voies technologiques pour optimiser les usages de l'eau dans les processus industriels, mais la localisation, les besoins énergétiques et d'autres facteurs jouent également un rôle essentiel.
