Fermentation derived ingredients
Although the original purpose of fermentation was to prevent food spoilage, controlled fermentation processes can be used to create a wide range of probiotics, cultures, algae and yeast products and is widely used in the dairy industry. It can also be employed to bioengineer flavors, manufacture leavening agents and formulate enzymes or acidulants.
GEA has a well-established history of designing and delivering equipment for raw material handling and fermentation lines. A comprehensive range of technologies for is therefore available from a single, reliable source. Our capabilities span the supply of standalone equipment and the configuration and installation of integrated fermentation plants for small- and large-scale production.

Centrifugal Separator
GEA separators are designed for liquid-based applications. Using centrifugal force, they are used for separating suspensions consisting of two or more phases of different densities, i.e. they can be used for liquid-liquid separation, for liquid-liquid-solid separation or for liquid-solid separation. They are equally as effective at separating liq...
Decanter Centrifuge
The decanter’s hour has come as soon as the solids content in the suspension to be processed is particularly high. These machines provide the benefits of high clarifying efficiency and maximum dewatering as well as the separation of liquids with the simultaneous removal of solids. The main requirements in this respect include a high bowl speed, a...
