Pilot decanter centrifuge for testing and upscaling
For precision separation in diverse production environments, this decanter centrifuge optimizes testing and upscaling, ensuring seamless integration from R&D to full-scale operations.
Scales Up and Separates Industrial Slurries
The GEA pilotMaster decanter centrifuge is engineered by GEA to streamline your testing and upscaling needs across diverse industries including chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing. Utilizing a multi-stage decanting system, it ensures reliable continuous operation and precise separation. Ideal for applications such as mineral processing and alternative protein development, it operates within a flexible bowl speed range of 1,000 to 6,500 rpm and a differential speed range without pulley changes. The system offers customization with options for high-alloyed duplex steels and Hastelloy for enhanced corrosion resistance. Designed for easy integration with existing systems, it facilitates remote monitoring using PLC controls. The GEA pilotMaster is ATEX-compliant for explosion protection, supporting safe operation in volatile environments. For maintenance, it includes a CIP capability ensuring swift and effective cleaning. This centrifuge not only enhances efficiency with its adaptable speeds and gas-tight enclosure but also reduces energy consumption.
