Engineered for demanding blood processing applications
Blood processing places unique demands on separation equipment. Product quality, hygiene, reliability and gentle product handling are critical to achieving optimum plasma recovery.
GEA separators are designed to meet these requirements through advanced bowl design, hydrohermetic feed systems as well as robust, energy and space-saving drive concepts that ensure stable operation even under demanding process conditions.
Whether processing a few hundred liters per hour or operating a large-scale industrial blood plant, GEA offers separator solutions tailored to individual capacity requirements.
Key benefits of GEA Separators for animal blood plasma
High plasma quality
Efficient separation minimizes carry-over of red blood cells and supports the production of high-quality plasma for further processing.
Gentle product handling
The hydrohermetic feed system reduces product stress and helps preserve valuable protein functionality. Instead of using additional seals, the hydrohermetic feed uses the product itself to gently feed it into the bowl.
Reliable operation
Fully hydraulic solids discharge systems and simplified machine designs contribute to high machine availability.
Lower maintenance requirements
Reduced component count, robust drive designs and elimination of wear-prone mechanical sealing systems help minimize service needs.
Energy-efficient operation
Modern belt-drive and Integrated Direct Drive technologies provide excellent energy efficiency while maintaining high performance.
Separator portfolio for animal blood processing
GEA offers separator solutions for animal blood plasma from decentralized on-site valorization in slaughterhouses to full-scale industrial blood processing operations. Depending on the required processing capacity, customers can choose from compact and simple systems for local blood recovery and value creation or high-performance separators for dedicated blood processing operations at industrial scale. And for everything in between, customers will find what they are looking for here, too.

Features & Benefits of Animal Blood Separators
Integrated direct drive - IDD
By transmitting power directly from motor to spindle, power losses due to complex drive design are reduced whilst the overall machine architecture is simplified. Fewer mechanical components make for greater operational reliability over the long term. The compact design also reduces the separator's footprint and contributes to lower noise levels.
Hydrohermetic feed
GEA separators use the product itself to seal off the product chamber against the ambient air as well as to gently feed the product into the bowl. This eliminates the need for mechanical seals, which require maintenance and are prone to failure.
Hydraulic solids ejection system
The discharge system from GEA separators is controlled and operated fully hydraulicly. No springs are used that could wear out or even break after prolonged use, which could lead to imprecise ejections and ultimately product losses or even unscheduled downtime.
Designed for hygienic processing environments
Animal blood processing facilities require equipment that supports hygienic operation and efficient cleaning.
GEA separators are designed for integration into modern hygienic processing lines and can be supplied as part of complete skid-mounted systems featuring:
- Piping systems
- Pumps
- Instrumentation
- Automation
- CIP integration
- Compact process layouts
Plug-and-produce solutions
Complete separator skids for animal blood processing
To simplify installation and commissioning, GEA can supply pre-engineered separator skids that combine all key process components in a compact package.
Advantages include:

GEA-inzichten
De doorbraak die het sproeidrogen veranderde
In 1976 gingen de ingenieurs van NIRO een concurrentie-uitdaging aan door de mogelijkheden van sproeidrogen opnieuw te bekijken. Hun idee leidde tot de meertraps droger MSD. Vijftig jaar later zorgt datzelfde basisprincipe ervoor dat vloeistoffen worden omgezet in poeders die wereldwijd worden gebruikt in essentiële voedingsproducten en belangrijke geneesmiddelen. MSD is het resultaat van tientallen jaren technische expertise, klantinzicht en voortdurende ontwikkeling, en is een verhaal van innovatie met blijvende impact.
Verder dan de machine: betere prestaties van de installatie ontsluiten
Een efficiënte machine betekent niet automatisch een efficiënte fabriek. Echte verbetering begint vaak met verder kijken dan de afzonderlijke apparatuur en met inzicht in hoe processen, energiesystemen en operationele beslissingen elkaar beïnvloeden. Het is een holistische benadering die bedoeld is om kansen te ontdekken die anders wellicht over het hoofd gezien zouden worden.
Hoe een klep de manier waarop eten en drinken worden gemaakt opnieuw vormgeeft
De kleppen in voedingsmiddelen- en drankinstallaties worden doorgaans met perslucht bediend. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology stuurt kleppen daarentegen aan met water, in een gesloten, digitaal geregeld circuit. Het resultaat is een klep die precies op zijn plaats kan worden gehouden en in nauwkeurig afgestemde stappen kan worden aangestuurd. Dit leidt tot een lager energieverbruik en meer controle.
