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

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.
