At the first day of SMM in Hamburg, we met with Karel Wauters who explained the benefits of the new GEA marine Separator. With newly introduced direct drive concept, maintenance intervals and energy efficiency increased. Furthermore, the installation and maintenance processes got simplified. In combination with the new EffiClean unit, time spent on cleaning the separators is reduced by up to 95 % compared to manual cleaning. Thereby, the GEA customers can save both maintenance and energy costs.
