Liquid-liquid extraction
GEA solid-wall disk-type separators are used for liquid-liquid extraction processes
The separator is equipped with a solid-wall bowl. The product flows through the hydrohermetic feed, which minimizes the shearing forces for sensitive products, and is broken down into a light phase and a heavy phase in the disk stack. The separated components are discharged under pressure by means of the corresponding centripetal pumps through outlets. The use of a disk stack increases the equivalent clarification area S of the separator many times over compared with a centrifuge with the same volume which consists of a single chamber.

El diseño de los separadores GEA para extracción de fármacos cumple los requisitos de las normas de correcta fabricación (NCF).

GEA clarifiers for pharma extraction are used in solid-liquid extraction processes with low solid contents (up to approx. 7 % by vol.).

Even the best centrifuges cannot function optimally if they are not partnered with control systems of equal quality. For their range of separators and decanters, GEA offers standardized as well as tailor-made solutions for machine automation with many features to meet customer requirements.
Whether it’s a fad or the future, 100% vial traceability is becoming an increasingly important consideration in the pharmaceutical freeze drying industry. Keeping a close eye on developments is GEA. We’re investigating possible solutions and, what’s more, we have the experience, expertise and know-how to implement them.
Hubo un tiempo en que nunca se mencionaban juntas la ‘cerveza sin alcohol’ y las ‘comidas sabrosas’, particularmente por los propios consumidores. Pero las cervezas de baja graduación alcohólica y sin alcohol han recorrido un largo camino —ahora muchas de ellas son refrescos de pleno derecho— gracias en última instancia a la tecnología de GEA.
At GEA, our commitment to engineering for a better world fuels our pursuit of innovative solutions that enhance patient care and safety. One of our most promising ventures in recent years is aseptic spray drying – a technology that promises to revolutionize pharmaceutical manufacturing.
