Separators for animal and fish by-products

Efficiently extract, purify, and recover valuable components such as high-quality fish oil and pure proteins from animal and fish by-products with advanced centrifugal separation technology designed to streamline your processing operations.

Separates and Purifies Animal and Fish By-Products

The Separators for Animal and Fish By-Products from GEA efficiently process by-products for high-quality end-products like fish oil capsules and protein supplements. It utilizes a sophisticated centrifugal separation mechanism, achieving precise clarification and purification. This equipment excels in the food, pharmaceutical, and agricultural industries, ensuring compliance with maximum purity standards.

Capable of continuous, fully automated operations, the separators are crafted from stainless steel, ensuring product safety and longevity. They feature a hydrohermetic feed for gentle treatment and an optimized disk stack to enhance oil quality. With a robust design, they support large-scale operations, minimizing product loss with a hydrostop system for solids discharge.

Integration is seamless within production lines, supported by PLC control systems for thorough automation and remote monitoring. Energy efficiency is enhanced by a variable-speed motor, reducing overall consumption. The self-cleaning bowl and CIP system promote easy and hygienic maintenance, while customization options meet specific operational needs, reinforced by GEA’s engineering support.
