There are many process designs which feature clarifying decanters (or 2-Phase decanters) in the fish and meat industry. For fish processing 2-phase decanters are for example used in the conventional process clarifying the fish press water as well as in surimi production to dewater the surimi after the washing stage. They also clarify the surimi press water and recover valuable product from the wash water. In animal by-products processing you can find our clarifying decanters mainly in fat rendering processes – wet rendering as well as dry rendering – but also for blood meal recovery
Processes in the fish and animal by-products industry usually impose particularly stringent requirements on the hygienic design as well as the robustness and corrosion-resistance of the materials. These tasks have been solved by the design features of GEA ecoforce generation; high-performance stainless steels, special chute designs for ease of cleaning, additional spray nozzles at critical points as well as high quality wear protection have been installed, and the frame construction has been provided with maximum dynamic stability. The gear is also situated outside the production area, so that the gear is not unnecessarily heated by the product. GEA offers oil lubrication for the bowl bearings; this further boosts the reliability of the machine, and also reduces the amount of manual maintenance work compared with grease lubrication solutions. This stabilizes the entire system and it is also more attractive in terms of current operating costs.
Rapid and clean processes, high yields and excellent product quality – our customers benefit in many ways with our machines and process lines in a very wide range of different applications
Even the best centrifuges cannot function optimally if they are not partnered with control systems of equal quality. For their range of separators and decanters, GEA offers standardized as well as tailor-made solutions for machine automation with many features to meet customer requirements.

GEA's innovative process marks a milestone in the pretreatment of biofuels such as hydro-treated vegetable oil and sustainable aviation fuel. By eliminating the bleaching process, manufacturers benefit from significant savings potential: over 50% lower operating costs and up to 12% less CO2 emissions.
The world's population is growing and with it demand for milk. Dairy is an essential component of many global diets. However, its production can be resource-intensive and impact the environment. GEA’s Christian Müller, Senior Director Sustainability Farm Technologies, sheds light on how technological innovations powered by GEA make milk production more efficient and profitable.
