Pioneers from the Outset

Based on intensive research and development, Westfalia Separator has been instrumental in determining the advance of mechanical separation technology for more than 110 years. In doing this, numerous improvements – many of them groundbreaking in nature – to separation technology machinery and processes have been developed and brought to market throughout the world.

The strict focus of all new and ongoing developments, aimed at providing the customer with comprehensive and continuous improvement in benefit, forms the foundation for the company’s success. As a member of the resource-heavy GEA Group since 1994, Westfalia Separator is today one of the world’s leading companies in the field of centrifugal separation technology.

It all begins with research. Developments in the lab must then be translated into products. Westfalia Separator achieves this by working closely with research institutes, universities, and industry. The result is centrifuges, either as stand-alone machines, or integrated into complete processing lines.

Mastering Processes

Securely and permanently solving production problems – and doing so at low cost: this is what the centrifuges and the comprehensive know-how of Westfalia Separator stand for when it comes to production processes which utilise efficient separation technology. They permit new procedures to be developed while at the same time making production processes more efficient and economical. Supported by the competence and strength of the GEA Group, Westfalia Separator provides leading technologies for the future.

Separators and decanters today perform key functions in:

The clarification of liquids The separation of liquid mixtures The concentration and dewatering of solids

Wet classification The extraction of constituents

Life Cycle Benefit is the customer benefit which lasts from the equipment planning phase through the entire service life of the centrifuge. This includes: precision operation under the most extreme operating conditions; optimal flexibility through simple process integration; the highest level of economy for both operation and service; and the greatest possible preservation of the environment and resources. Separators and decanters from Westfalia Separator continuously and successfully address all these requirements.
