Clarifier for industrial fluids

Optimize fluid purity and extend equipment lifespan by efficiently separating contaminants from industrial oils and emulsified liquids with precision-engineered clarifiers.

Purifies and Separates Industrial Fluids Efficiently

The OSE series clarifiers from GEA are high-speed centrifugal systems designed for efficient purification and separation of industrial fluids, including fuel oil, lube oil, and hydraulic oil. Using a 3-phase AC motor with a flat belt drive, these clarifiers ensure high separation efficiency with the GEAsoftstream inlet, while controlling rapid solids ejection through the GEA hydrostop feature. Well-suited for oil refineries, marine operators, and chemical processing plants, they effectively handle applications ranging from diesel fuel purification to waste oil treatment. With a focus on continuous operation, these machines enable reduced operational costs by extending engine and component life and minimizing disposal needs. The compact design requires minimal space and energy, while the splash-lubricated bearings provide low-maintenance and high reliability in demanding environments. The OSE series is compatible with automation systems to enhance process control, making it a versatile choice for integrating into existing production lines.

Benefits
