Integrated direct drive<//b>
With the new integrated direct drive system, GEA Westfalia Separator has found the ultimate solution. This forward-looking drive concept will be used in the field for the first time in the world in the milk bacteria removing separator CSE 500 from GEA Westfalia Separator Process GmbH which will celebrate its premiere at Anuga FoodTec 2009.

Clarifying decanter in the compact class<//b>
The clarifying decanter GCE 345 is new at Anuga FoodTec. The fields of application of this small to medium class machine for the beverage industry are must processing and fruit juice production. With a bowl diameter of 340 mm and a capacity of up to 6 m³/h this innovation ensures maximum separation in very confined spaces.

The concept of cold milk separation with the Westfalia Separator pro<//b>cool system has been so well received that there is a demand for a smaller machine. GEA Westfalia Separator Process has therefore expanded its product portfolio to include a further cold milk machine for the medium and low capacity range.
The widely accepted Westfalia Separator pro<//b>plus process concentrates on the protein in the solids. This approach gives dairies high separation efficiency, boosts the skim milk volume and consequently generates more revenue. Westfalia Separator proplus has concrete advantages; potentials of up to 60,000 Euros per year are possible. In addition, a large number of older machines have been retrofitted with a Westfalia Separator pro<//b>plus retrofit kit. Because Westfalia Separator pro<//b>plus pays off both for new and used machines.

Membraflow activities integrated<//b>
GEA Westfalia Separator will in future integrate the manufacturer of ceramic mico and ultrafiltration membranes Membraflow GmbH in the South German Essingen taken over some years ago more fully in the Business Units. The further technology development will be pushed forward at GEA Westfalia Separator in Oelde as will the construction and pre-assembly of complete plants and control system concepts. Backed up by the proven worldwide sales and service network, GEA Westfalia Separator in Oelde will assure the seamless integration of the activities of Membraflow.
