GEA Dairy Separators - increasing energy efficiency

On the last day of AnugaFoodTec, we met with Thomas Veer, who focuses on reducing energy consumption with a team of GEA engineers. He explains how GEA improved the dairy separators over the last decade. GEA was the first company that changed the drive from gear drive system to flat belt and further to direct drive. By using direct drive technology drive system efficiency increases by more than 90%. This leads to fewer friction losses.
