Maximum availability and maximum performance with the new decanter of Westfalia Separator® ecoforce for the beverage industry: gMaster CF 6000

With the new decanter platform Westfalia Separator^® ecoforce, the GEA Westfalia Separator Group has combined the demands for maximum availability, high throughput capacities, excellent separating efficiency and the desire for maximum flexibility for the investment and in practical operation. The result: the GEA Westfalia Separator Group is presenting an entire family of a new decanter generation which, as a result of its modular design, can be tailored individually and in an optimum manner to meet the needs of the specific application and if necessary can also be retrofitted. Westfalia Separator^® ecoforce is not a, but the decanter of a new generation. Whatever tasks you require it to perform: It adjusts and keeps its promises.

The maximum availability of the systems is assured by the service provided by the original manufacturer which was integrated specifically for this decanter series: Westfalia Separator^® directcare. Never before have customer expectations and requested improvements been implemented in optionally available service packages which can be contractually protected more comprehensively than in this case. Whether a full service package for a fixed price or basic modules: Depending on the specific requirement, customers are able to choose a level of service which most closely meets their requirements. This results in a desired high degree of availability combined with planable service costs throughout the entire duration of the contract. The aim of this new concept is to make all technical and economic benefits of the new ecoforce series available in complete form, in a customised manner and throughout the entire life cycle, by ensuring calculable total cost of ownership.

The uniform Westfalia Separator^® summationdrive will be installed in all models of the new ecoforce generation. This high-torque drive makes available the optimum differential speed to the process in an optimum manner, thus guaranteeing maximum performance and high separating efficiency. The power is supplied only to all shafts which actually require the power, which means that the drive operates in a particularly energy-efficient manner.

Gear, bearing, lubrication, materials, steels and production of the scrolls and bowls in the ecoforce series are designed to cope with permanently high load levels. Applications which impose considerable demands on material and engineering in particular require robust machines which reliably perform their duties. The new decanter generation has consistently been designed to meet these requirements by means of design innovations. The basic design has been modified: Unlike older generations, all decanters in the ecoforce family are provided with an external gear. This separates the product chamber from the drive chamber.

The Westfalia Separator^® ecoforce gMaster CF 6000 decanter which was shown for the first time at the exhibition has been designed specifically for use in the brewing and beverage industry. The multifunction machine guarantees maximum performance combined with high clarifying efficiency and maximum dry matter for the solids – in conjunction with calculable service costs.
