Decanter centrifuge for testing and up-scaling

pilotMaster

Robust decanter for up-scaling tests, available in ATEX design and protected against erosion and corrosion.

GEA chemical decanter pilotMaster for testing and upscaling

Maximum scale-up reliability and optimum process safety

GEA pilotMaster gives you the freedom

  • to adapt to your next development needs 
  • to a reliable up-scaling to production size
  • to develop your next product success with low capital expenditure

Also available: GEA Hydro Drive

Easy and simpleinfinite adjustment of the differential speed ranges I (1 – 15 UPM) and II (10 – 80 UPM). Ideal for changing products / product conditions.

Adjustment can be done within less than 5 minutes without using tools or changing pulleys.

Simply adapt to your next product

The pilotMaster is the ideal machine to reliably scale up to the respective production capacity providing the highest flexibility in bowl speed from 1,000 rpm- 6,500 rpm, a differential speed range of 1 - 80 rpm without changing the pulley set and the same geometric configuration compared to the larger production machines.

GEA Separation Test Center

GEA Separation Process Test Center

GEA centrifuges are not off-the-shelf products. Rather, for optimum use, they must be selected and adjusted specifically for the process of the user. This is supported by the GEA separation test center.

Tests and analytics can be made at customer site or in the GEA separation test center. Please contact us for more information.

Features and benefits
