How GEA drives centrifugal force to save our world’s resources
130 years GEA Separation
What began in 1893 at GEA's Oelde site with the construction of the first
manually operated centrifuge for separating milk and cream, is now an
indispensable part of modern industry. Whether food, beverages,
pharmaceuticals and vaccines, chemical and marine technology or clean
water: anywhere liquids have to be processed, a separator or a decanter is
the heart of the production plant. GEA is celebrating 130 years of separation –
with a bright future ahead.
