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.

As a result of many years of experience in the field of recovering and processing raw materials containing oil, we have extensive process know-how in all production stages. Customers benefit not only from our advanced individual machines; we also design and supply entire process lines right through to complete installations. Designed to meet the needs of the specific production task and customized to meet individual customer requirements, our system solutions ensure extremely efficient and reliable overall processes. They enable the raw materials to be used almost completely, consuming minimum quantities of water and energy, and thus making a vital contribution to economic success - but also ensuring that efficient use is made of environmental resources.

  • Reliable recovery and processing of all vegetable and animal oils and fats
  • Maximum product yield and quality thanks to extremely innovative process technology and engineering
  • Intelligent processes for ensuring that raw materials are exploited as fully as possible
  • Maximum installation efficiency due to process components from a single source

バッチ搾乳が現代の酪農を支える理由

自動搾乳における最新の進化は、バッチ搾乳を導入することです。バッチ搾乳とは、通常1日に2~3回、決まった搾乳時間に乳牛をグループ分けして搾乳する酪農方法です。自動化技術は、酪農場における乳牛の福祉、柔軟性、そして持続可能性のバランスを取りつつ、それと同時にコスト構造を継続的に最適化し、より効率的になるという、酪農家の最近の課題を克服するのに役立っています。

何もないところから

多数の国では、安全な水と衛生設備を確保することがいまだに課題となっています。汚れの混じった飲用水により病気になったり、毎日水を汲みに行くという役割を果たすため、学校に通うことができない子供たちが多数存在します。ドイツのハンブルクを拠点とする非営利団体Viva con Aguaと協力することで、GEAは一部のタンザニアの学校にきれいな水を供給する手助けをしています。
