Powder separation cyclone for food and chemical industries
During powder separation in industrial processes, blockages and powder build-up caused by smearing and attrition can lead to costly production shutdowns. These issues are especially problematic when handling powders containing fats.

Improve powder separation efficiency and reduce downtime
The NIRO® Cyclone Extra Efficiency (CEE) by GEA is designed to alleviate the common problems of smearing and attrition during powder separation. This innovative cyclone features a taller and slimmer design, enhancing powder separation efficiency. Developed through extensive laboratory tests, literature reviews, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling, the CEE reduces emissions and minimizes production interruptions. The CEE is equipped with clean-in-place nozzles, allowing for easier maintenance, and exhibits lower wall shear stress to protect against wear and tear. Suitable for the food, dairy, and chemical sectors, the CEE increases reliability and productivity in powder processing.
Benefits
- Higher powder separation efficiency for lower emissions
- Reduced risk of smearing and attrition
- Clean-in-place nozzles for easier maintenance
- Sturdy design ensures long-term reliability
- Suitable for food, dairy, and chemical sectors
