Powder separation cyclone for food and chemical industries

Optimize your powder production with advanced cyclone technology, reducing smearing and attrition for reliable and efficient separation. Perfect for achieving smooth operation and maintaining dryer performance without costly downtime.

Enhances Powder Separation Efficiency

The NIRO® Cyclone Extra Efficiency (CEE) from GEA is engineered to improve powder separation in continuous processing for the food, dairy, and chemical sectors. This advanced cyclone minimizes smearing and attrition, combating production interruptions and enhancing drying efficiency. Leveraging computational fluid dynamics (CFD), the CEE offers robust separation capabilities with a taller, slimmer design, ensuring higher efficiency and lower emissions. Integrating seamlessly into existing production lines, its design supports CIP nozzles for streamlined cleaning. Ideal for producing infant formula, protein powder, and more, the CEE is customizable and comes with comprehensive engineering support to meet your unique processing requirements.

Benefits
