Milk and whey skimming centrifuge
Enhance your dairy processing with advanced centrifuge technology, optimizing milk and whey skimming for higher consistency and minimal fat loss, improving product quality across your production line.
Optimizes Skimming and Standardizing in Dairy Processing
The GEA Separators MSE and MSI series by GEA are state-of-the-art centrifugal separators, designed to enhance milk and whey skimming processes in the dairy industry. These separators utilize a hydrohermetic design and an integrated direct drive, ensuring minimal product loss and optimal separation efficiency. With applications ranging from skimmed milk and whey protein powder to cheese curds and milk powder, these separators cater to the high demands of dairy and food processing. They offer a processing capacity ranging from 10,000 to 60,000 liters per hour and support continuous, high-speed operation suited for industrial scale production. Featuring PLC automation, they integrate seamlessly into existing production lines. Additionally, models like the GEA proplus system and ecocream variant are optimized for energy efficiency, reducing water and electricity usage without compromising performance. Constructed from corrosion-resistant materials and compliant with EHEDG and 3-A standards, they ensure durability and hygiene, backed by a self-cleaning function for low maintenance needs. Customization options and engineering support are available to tailor the separators to specific operational needs.
