In view of the worldwide population growth as well as industrial progress in many developing countries and the associated growth of the middle classes, there is increasing demand for vegetable proteins and fermentation products for the food and animal feed industries. GEA supports this extremely varied and demanding market with customized separation solutions tailored to meet the specific requirements of the particular product, always taking into consideration the details of the overall process.
As a pioneer in the field of recovering fermentation products, GEA is able to look back on more than a century of experience. In 1904, we designed the first yeast separator for producing baker's yeast from corn mash or sugar molasses. Since that time, we have successfully kept pace with market developments and, together with our customers, have driven the market with innovative products and optimized process engineering. We support the industry in upstream and also in downstream processes.
In a wide range of different applications, this extensive experience and our unparalleled expertise mean that customers benefit from first-class technologies which consistently meet the challenges of modern industry for the production of food additives. For recovering and processing algae, yeast extract, starter cultures, dyes, etc. - GEA decanter centrifuges and centrifugal separators ensure maximum quality and a high degree of purity of the end products, gentle treatment of the sensitive cells and consequently maximum yields as well as reliable compliance with all requirements regarding sanitary and hygienic process management.
Quality and yield are benchmarks for efficient production processes in the recovery of vegetable proteins from renewable resources too. Only in this way are companies able to achieve economic added value and ensure the recovery of extremely pure proteins for an expanding global population and meet the increasing demand for animal feed. The separating technology of GEA not only enable yield potential to be utilized efficiently and proteins to be recovered in maximum product quality, our decanter centrifuges and centrifugal separators are designed for top separation efficiency, minimum energy consumption and hygienic process management.
With our pioneering work in designing centrifuges and production processes, we enabled the industry-scale production for dairy products like strained yoghurt, quark and fresh cheese. Our centrifuges ensure economical and efficient production and the achievement of a product with a consistent taste and texture.
Decanter centrifuges are the heart of every wet separation process line to obtain plant proteins for the use as e.g. meat alternatives or sport drinks and snack bars. Learn more about the design features decanters should optimally have for the recovery of plant proteins.
