GEA further extends leadership in process development and scale-up with new decanter pilotMaster
15 Jun 2021
Maximum scale-up reliability and optimum process safety are offered by GEA's new decanter pilotMaster. For product developments in the large chemical sector, the GEA pilotMaster is an important, indispensable tool - and an individual one.

The pilotMaster is a robust decanter for smaller production volumes and for upscaling tests, optionally available in ATEX design. It is protected against erosion and corrosion, as all parts in contact with the product are made of high-alloy duplex steels, super duplex steels or Hastelloy C276.
Chemical cleaning after the separation process is possible.
Reliable scaling
The pilotMaster is the ideal machine for reliable scaling to the respective production capacity. It offers maximum drum speed flexibility from 1,000 RPM to 6,500 RPM, a differential speed range from 1 to 80 RPM without changing pulleys, and the same geometric configuration as the larger production machines.
GEA decanters are not off-the-shelf products
GEA decanters are not off-the-shelf products. Rather, they must be selected and adjusted specifically for the user's process for optimal use. Tests and analyses can be carried out at the customer's site or at the GEA Separation Test Center.
