Used GEA Westfalia GSC-45-06-177 Brewery Clarifier Centrifuge – 6,800 RPM

Description

Used GEA Westfalia Model GSC-45-06-177 desludging disc stack clarifier centrifuge with 316 stainless steel product contact surfaces, centripetal pump liquid discharge and an included surge tank. Configured for liquid/solids separation, the rotating disc stack provides separation surfaces for removing denser suspended particles from compatible liquid streams. Solids collect at the bowl periphery for intermittent discharge, while clarified liquid moves toward the center and exits under pressure through a centripetal pump. Maximum bowl speed is 6,800 RPM. Features a belt drive powered by an 18.5 kW, approximately 24.8 HP motor rated for 400 volts, 3-phase, 50 Hz electrical service. Includes a control panel and tools. Previously used in a brewery application. Serial number 1725-764. Possible applications include beer clarification, yeast and suspended solids removal from fermented beverages, and pre-clarification of compatible brewery process liquids ahead of downstream filtration, with throughput dependent on feed characteristics, solids concentration and required clarity.

Product Details

Potential Applications

• Beer clarification to reduce suspended yeast and separable particles.
• Yeast removal from compatible fermented beverage streams.
• Brewery process-liquid clarification.
• Pre-clarification ahead of downstream filtration where centrifugal solids removal supports the process.

Actual throughput and clarification results depend on product properties, particle characteristics, solids loading and operating conditions.

What Products Would This Be Used For?

Potential feed materials include:

• Beer containing suspended yeast.
• Fermented brewery liquids containing separable solids.
• Compatible fermented beverages requiring yeast reduction.
• Brewery liquid streams containing suspended process sediment.

Previous brewery use is documented. These potential products require review against the intended processing conditions and separation target.
