Centrifuge for craft cider clarification
Enhance your cider production with efficient clarification, maximizing yield and preserving flavor while reducing energy consumption and process time.
The GEA HB Craft Cider Series, part of GEA’s innovative centrifuge skids, is engineered for craft and mid-sized cideries aiming to enhance production efficiency. Utilizing a robust centrifugation process, this equipment optimizes clarification and separation tasks, yielding up to 10% more cider from the same input. With a patented hydry® ejection system, it maximizes solids concentration and prevents oxygen intake through hydrohermetic sealing. This skid is fully automated, featuring intuitive control modules for seamless integration into existing production lines. The energy-efficient design reduces operational costs, while the maintenance-free hydrosoft feed system ensures gentle product handling. Easily adaptable, the skid supports continuous operations for various craft cider varieties, making it a versatile asset in the beverage production industry.
