Separators for animal and fish by-products
Industries dealing with animal and fish by-products often face the challenge of efficiently separating valuable components like fats, oils, and proteins while maintaining high purity standards. Effective separation processes are crucial in ensuring product quality and optimizing resource recovery.

Recover high-quality fats, oils, and proteins
The separators designed by GEA are advanced solutions for processing animal and fish by-products. Built with robust stainless steel components, these separators ensure maximum reliability and sanitary production. Their hydrohermetic feed system treats products gently, preserving quality. Specifically designed disk stacks optimize oil purity, while the large clarifying area polishes the protein-containing phase, yielding highly pure protein hydrolyzate. Additionally, the self-cleaning bowl permits fully automatic cleaning-in-place (CIP), minimizing manual intervention and ensuring continuous operation. GEA’s separators are ideal for applications in the meat and fish industry, including the extraction of pure fats, efficient production of blood plasma and gelatin, and recovery of top-grade fish oil.
