GEA Varipond C
Come into the comfort zone
For always top separation results you have to adjust your decanter settings to varying feed conditions, flow rates or even to different feedstocks.
With GEA Varipond C those adjustments are now so easy, fast and precise that your separation zone turns into a comfort zone.
Varipond C for clarifying decanters
Changing the diameter means changing the position of the eccentric centripetal pump. The pump position adjusts the pond depth and with it the lengths of the clarification and dewatering zone inside the bowl.
The longer the clarification zone the clearer the liquid, the longer the dewatering zone the drier the solids.
Varipond C for separating decanters
In separating - or 3-phase - decanters you can easily adapt the separation zone inside the decanter bowl. In 3-phase systems you have two liquid phases and one solids phase, i.e. water, oil and solids.
As the composition of the feed is constantly changing, the optimum setting for the separation zone is changing constantly, too. With Varipond C for 3-phase systems you can easily adapt your separation zone to those changing feed conditions.
The composition of the product you feed into your decanter is not always the same, especially if you are processing naturally grown products. Water, oil and solids contents vary because of i.e. weather, time - or rather: how fast you process your feedstock – or the operation of previous process stages. To always get the best separation results you have to adjust the separation zone inside your decanter according to the those feed conditions.
Adjusting your GEA decanter has never been easier than with Varipond C. Just select the respective diameter – manually or automatically – and the position of the eccentric centripetal pump adjusts pond depth and/or separation zone inside the bowl.
With GEA Varipond C adjusting your decanter to changing feed conditions, a varying flow rate or even different feedstocks can be done instantly and directly at the running machine.
Thus, making sure you always have the best separation results is
- Easy
- Fast
- Precise
- And easily repeatable.
Because, with GEA Varipond C you can even program and save recipes in your control system to make your decanter run in the optimum operation mode, literally at the touch of a button.
This is how your separation zone becomes a true a comfort zone.
On top, GEA Varipond C is energy efficient due to less friction taking place at the centripetal pump, comes in hygienic design so it can be easily used in all beverage and food applications and is available for our entire decanter fleet for you to scale up your good experience with it.
And good news for all our beverage customers: you can even combine Varipond C with hydrohermetic sealing making sure your job will become much easier in future, even if you need a decanter system that prevents your product from oxygen pick-up.

Around the world in seven questions: New foods we’ll love
Last year was not a year of hyped-up headlines for alternative proteins. Perhaps that is precisely why it was an important year for food biotech, the biotechnology behind everyday foods and ingredients. While the sector worked through a difficult funding environment, approvals were still granted, pilot lines set up and new platforms tested in the background. In short: headlines are turning into infrastructure. Frederieke Reiners heads GEA’s New Food business. She and her team work at the intersection of biotechnology and industrial food production. In this interview, she takes us on a world tour of food biotech in seven questions.
