Clarifying decanter for chemical processing

Optimize your clarification and dewatering processes with a versatile decanter centrifuge, perfect for managing liquid, solid, and slurry phases while maintaining high-speed, continuous operations.

Separates and Dewaters Slurries in Industrial Processes

The Clarifying Decanter Centrifuge drymaster by GEA is designed for optimal clarification and dewatering in chemical and mineral processing applications. Featuring a centrifugal multi-stage decanting system, it ensures efficient separation and continuous high-speed operation. Ideal for producing sodium bicarbonate, titanium dioxide, and whey protein isolate, it effectively processes slurries with varying solid content. The decanter offers a capacity to handle substantial throughput, supported by the GEA summationdrive for high differential speeds and torques. Its PLC-controlled system integrates seamlessly into production lines with remote monitoring capability, ensuring precise automation. Constructed from stainless steel and available in high-alloyed duplex options, it withstands corrosive environments, supporting temperatures up to 130°C. Compliance with ATEX standards assures safe operation in explosive atmospheres, while its CIP-compatibility facilitates efficient maintenance. Customizable features such as differential speed adjustments and material options cater to specific operational needs, supported by engineering expertise from GEA.
