Varipond C ensures consistent separation results and therefore a high product yield and quality, for example in beverage, food and edible oil production, as well as in refineries. It also helps to reduce energy consumption by around 30% compared to conventional centripetal pumps. The system is available for all GEA decanters ranging from CF 3000 to CF 8000 and is suitable for both two-phase and three-phase processes, regardless of decanter size, where users need to respond to varying feed conditions, flow rates or different starting materials.
Natural raw materials are subject to fluctuations in their composition. To ensure consistent separation results, the separation zone in the decanter must be continuously adjusted. With GEA Varipond C, this can be done manually or through automated adjustment during operation – quickly and without interrupting production. This means that pond depth and separation quality can be optimized at any time without compromising on the yield and quality of the solid and liquid phases.
With Varipond C, the pond depth and separation zone can be precisely adjusted either manually with a handwheel or automatically with a servomotor to optimally adapt the separation process to different operating conditions. The food-grade design allows for full CIP cleaning of the Varipond chamber and the use of food-grade lubricants, seals and materials.
