3-phase separating decanter for oil recovery

Maximize oil yield and purity with advanced 3-phase separating decanters, designed to efficiently separate oil, water, and solids in high-speed, continuous operations essential for streamlined oil recovery processes.

The 3-Phase Separating Decanters for Oil Recovery, offered by GEA, excel in effectively segregating oil, water, and solids from various vegetable and crude oils. These decanter centrifuges utilize high-speed rotation to ensure precise and continuous separation, boasting the capability to handle substantial volumes, ideal for concentrated production lines. Primarily used in pre-processing and processing phases, they support a seamless operation in the food, beverage, oil, and environmental industries, delivering refined palm oil, extra virgin olive oil, and more.

The equipment integrates with existing setups through PLC control systems, optimizing process control and offering remote monitoring to enhance productivity. It is engineered with a focus on energy efficiency, using full torque for reduced energy consumption, minimizing operational costs. With available construction in stainless steel, it assures corrosion resistance for durability and compliance with stringent industrial standards.

Maintenance is efficient with features like automated cleaning processes, ensuring smooth operations with minimum downtime. GEA provides extensive customization options for rotor speeds and configurations, supported by expert engineering assistance to tailor solutions to specific plant requirements.
