Chemical and mineral processing decanter centrifuge
Achieve efficient clarification and dewatering of complex mixtures in chemical and mineral processing with this high-speed decanter centrifuge, ensuring high-purity outputs and reducing operational downtime.

Separates and Dewaters Slurries in Continuous Operation
The Clarifying Decanter chemMaster from GEA is designed for high-efficiency separation and dewatering in chemical and mineral processing applications. This deep-pond decanter centrifuge uses a robust multi-stage decanting system, featuring a cylindrical bowl for liquid clarification and a conical section for solids drying. Commonly employed in producing sulfuric acid, titanium dioxide, and crude glycerine, it processes a broad range of slurries including industrial effluents and wastewater sludge. The chemMaster handles large throughput with capabilities enhanced by its GEA summationdrive, allowing for variable high-speed operation and maximal solid capacities.
Its automation is seamless, furnished with frequency-controlled motors that adjust differential speed for optimal performance, while energy efficiency is ensured as motors supply energy without unnecessary braking. Constructed from high-alloyed stainless and duplex steels, GEA ensures strong chemical resistance. It is equipped to meet rigorous safety standards, including ATEX compliance for explosion protection, with an option for inert gas blanketing to maintain non-reactive conditions.
Ease of maintenance and cleaning is achieved via CIP-compatibility, facilitating quick cleaning processes without dismantling. With extensive customization options and engineering support, the chemMaster can be tailored to meet specific throughput and material handling requirements, ensuring seamless integration into your production line.
