GEA chamber bowl separators for blood processing

Fractionation by the Cohn process is executed by reliable, cooled chamber centrifuges. These separators operate in performance ranges from 300 to 1000 l / h. They have long become established world-wide and have proved their value in over 400 sold machines for human blood plasma fractionation. The compliance with a narrow temperature range of -3 to -6 °C is important for the process. In the clarifying separators this is achieved by cooling circuits.

The new GEA Application and Technology Center (ATC) in Sarstedt, south of Hannover, is neither a showroom nor a substitute for a lab. It is a place for testing, data collection and early decisions. This is where it becomes clear whether a biological concept can become a robust industrial process. That step is bigger than it may seem.

Thermoforming has long played a central role in food packaging. Now it is facing a major shift. As regulations tighten, materials evolve and costs rise, form fill seal lines must do more than run reliably – they now shape how food stays fresh, affordable and recyclable. Take a look at the key thermoforming trends informing the food packaging and delivery landscape.
