The F Series represents a new generation of decanter. The GCF 405 is designed for products that are difficult to discharge, which makes it suitable for use as a clarifying decanter in brewing and beverage industries. The multifunctional machine with a bowl diameter of 400 mm ensures maximum performance combined with high clarifying efficiency and maximum dry matter in the solids. This is achieved by high speed, a high torque, large clarifying area and the deep pond in conjunction with minimum space requirements. The machine is a so-called hydro-hermetic decanter with a pressurized separation chamber; pressure buildup enables the solids to discharge reliably. The new design also provides major advantages for foaming and degassing products. — GEA Westfalia Separator GmbH, Oelde, Germany
