Liquid-liquid extraction, Liquid-Liquid separation
GEA solid-wall disk-type separators are used primarily for separating liquid mixtures with no or with only minimal solid contents (less than < 0.1 % by vol.).
The separator is equipped with a solid-wall bowl. The product is separated into a light phase and a heavy phase within the disk stack. The separated components are discharged under pressure by means of the corresponding centripetal pumps through pipe outlets. The use of a disk stack increases the equivalent clarification area Σ of the separator Solid-wall, disk-type separators can be offered with all product-contacted components made of high corrosion resistant materials.
Depending on the design, the location of the discharge drain hole is in the bottom of the bowl. This prevents the operator or service personnel from coming into contact with extremely dangerous substances.


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.

La termoformatura riveste da tempo un ruolo centrale nel settore del confezionamento alimentare. Ora si trova di fronte a un cambiamento radicale. Con l'inasprirsi delle normative, l'evoluzione dei materiali e l'aumento dei costi, le linee di formatura, riempimento e sigillatura non devono solo funzionare in modo affidabile: oggi hanno un ruolo fondamentale nel garantire che gli alimenti rimangano freschi, convenienti e riciclabili. Ecco le principali tendenze nella termoformatura che stanno plasmando il confezionamento e la consegna di prodotti alimentari.
