Bacteria removal separators for milk and whey
Optimize your dairy production by effectively removing bacteria and spores from milk and whey, ensuring quality and extending shelf life with advanced centrifugal separation technology.
Eliminates Bacteria and Spores from Dairy Liquids
The GEA Bacteria Removal Separators for Milk and Whey are vital for dairy producers and cheese manufacturers aiming to improve product quality and longevity. These separators employ a high-speed centrifugal process to efficiently eliminate bacteria, spores, and other impurities from dairy liquids. Equipped with the GEA proplus system, these separators extend ejection intervals by up to six times, significantly boosting protein yields while reducing wastewater and energy consumption. Suitable for applications in the dairy industry, the equipment handles a capacity range from 3,000 to 60,000 liters per hour, integrating seamlessly with continuous, automated operations. Constructed with corrosion-resistant materials and featuring optimal design of the feed and disk stack, these separators ensure longevity and ease of maintenance. With capabilities to adapt to various dairy processing needs, from lactose-free milk to whey protein concentrate, this equipment is not only a staple in enhancing dairy product safety but also supports a wide array of end-products.
