Decanter centrifuge for chemical and mineral processing
Optimize dewatering and clarification efficiencies in your processing line with advanced decanter centrifuge technology, ensuring precise separation and superior recovery of valuable solids from high-capacity slurry streams.

Efficiently Separates and Dewaters Slurries
The GEA Decanter Centrifuge – 2-Phase Separating Decanter dryMaster revolutionizes solid-liquid separation tasks across a range of industries, including chemical, mineral, food and beverage, and environmental processing. This centrifuge integrates a unique flat-pond design for superior clarification and dewatering, utilizing a solid-wall bowl with both cylindrical and conical sections. Capable of processing a variety of applications, from titanium dioxide and calcium carbonate to biogas digestate and crude oil, this machinery ensures precise handling of liquid and solid phases.
Designed for continuous, high-speed operation, the dryMaster efficiently handles significant solid capacities, supported by its intelligent kinematics and variable-speed motor for optimal energy consumption. Constructed from high-alloyed duplex steels, super duplex steels, or Hastelloy C276, it provides robust material options and corrosion resistance, with NBR, FKM, FFKM, and EPDM gaskets ensuring compatibility across diverse operational environments.
The centrifuge features a PLC-controlled interface for seamless integration into automated production lines, offering adaptability in differential speed adjustments without necessitating gear replacements. Compliance with ATEX and other EX regulations assures safety in explosive atmospheres, while its CIP (Cleaning in Place) compatibility facilitates effortless maintenance, ensuring clean transitions between processing tasks. With customization options available, the GEA dryMaster caters to specific operational needs, providing engineering support for optimization in performance and application efficiency.
