Pilot decanter centrifuge for testing and upscaling
For precision separation in diverse production environments, this decanter centrifuge optimizes testing and upscaling, ensuring seamless integration from R&D to full-scale operations.
The GEA pilotMaster decanter centrifuge is engineered by GEA to streamline your testing and upscaling needs across diverse industries including chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing. Utilizing a multi-stage decanting system, it ensures reliable continuous operation and precise separation. Ideal for applications such as mineral processing and alternative protein development, it operates within a flexible bowl speed range of 1,000 to 6,500 rpm and a differential speed range without pulley changes. The system offers customization with options for high-alloyed duplex steels and Hastelloy for enhanced corrosion resistance. Designed for easy integration with existing systems, it facilitates remote monitoring using PLC controls. The GEA pilotMaster is ATEX-compliant for explosion protection, supporting safe operation in volatile environments. For maintenance, it includes a CIP capability ensuring swift and effective cleaning. This centrifuge not only enhances efficiency with its adaptable speeds and gas-tight enclosure but also reduces energy consumption.
