Westfalia Separator

Competence From
a Single Source
Westfalia Separator has been manufacturing
centrifugal separators for over 110 years.
Today, the company is a market leader in the
field of centrifugal separation technology. The
name Westfalia Separator stands for highest
product quality and excellent service this
is documented, for instance, by the quality
system certification to DIN ISO 9001 standard.
Since 1994 Westfalia Separator has been
a Member of the GEA Group in Bochum,
a company of mg technologies, Frankfurt,
and is today the leading company in the
Mechanical Separation Division.
The company was
founded in 1893 in Oelde,
Westphalia, Germany.
Initially, only handoperated centrifuges were
manufactured.
Adapting to the pace of
industrialization, the small
centrifuges developed
into high-performance
separators and decanters
for diverse branches of
industry.
Today, separation technology offers applicationorientated, innovative solutions in machine design
and process engineering
for many sectors including
beverage technology, dairy
technology, oils and fats

functions perfectly and is

customised to meet the
customers individual requirements. Ambitious
quality management enables all processes to become more efficient and
more cost-effective. This
results in smooth operating
procedures which guarantee rapid order processing
and which minimise the
error ratio.

Certified quality
Since the start of 2000, the
three production facilities,
as well as domestic and
foreign subsidiaries
throughout all parts of the

world, have had standard

DIN EN ISO 9001 certification. This was followed
in August 2001 by certification according to the
environmental standard
ISO 14001.
Westfalia Separator is
accordingly one of the
small number of globally
operating companies
which have a quality certificate with world-wide
validity.

Strong Alone,
Unbeatable Together
Separators and decanters are used in
many areas. Westfalia Separator Food Tec
specialises in the fields of beverage and
dairy technology as well as oils and fats
processing.
As a subsidiary of Westfalia Separator AG,
Westfalia Separator Food Tec is one
of the world market leaders with its
powerful processing installations.
The know-how of the entire group is the
basis for the design of complete system
solutions which are customised to meet
the specific needs of our customers.
Quality as Incentive
Only quality is consistent
with the taste of the consumer. Innovative installations guarantee that this
quality is maintained at a
high level in all processes.
Reliable and economical.
The company originally
manufactured hand-operated centrifuges, and these
activities rapidly developed into the production of
high-performance separators, decanters and complete process lines. Today,
the products are manufactured in Oelde, Niederahr
(Germany) and Chteau
Thierry (France) and
supplied for an extremely
wide range of applications
throughout the world.

customers are to be found
throughout the entire
world. And Westfalia
Separator is also to be
found with them. Sales and

never identical to another,
and a small oil mill is not
identical to a large refinery.

Customised quality
The potential applications
of mechanical separating
technology have expanded
considerably. At present,
separators, decanters and
complete processing lines
are being successfully used
in more than 2,000 industrial applications.
Nowadays, machines and
process techniques which
meet the most stringent
demands in terms of technology and quality are
developed on the basis
of decades of experience
and intensive research and
development. Particularly
with fractionation of vegetable oil, the production

of thermo-quark and the

Beverage Technology

Concentration
on the Essentials
Beverage technology offers a wide
range of activities for separation
technology. Separators and decanters
have been indispensable units for
decades in the production of beer,
wine, fruit and vegetable juices and
other beverages.
In the decisive process
stages, continuously operating centrifuges ensure
economical processing and
high quality of the end
product. Fields of application are, for example, the
production/recovery of

Beer
Wine
Sparkling wine
Champagne
Citrus juice
Premium juice
from fruits,
berries,
vegetables
Base substances
for soft drinks
Essential oils
Coffee
Tea
Soya milk.

In the case of product recovery of, for example,

premium juice using the
FRUPEX process, the priority is maximum yield and
highest product quality.
In product processing, as
with winemaking and beer
production, efficient clarification/concentration
makes for high economy
of the entire process along
with enhanced product
quality. Thanks to the many
years of experience and
the specialist know-how,
Westfalia Separator is a

competent partner for solutions with single machines

and process lines right up
to turnkey plants.

Robust. Reliable. Efficient.

On account of the large number of possible
applications, edible oil is increasingly
gaining in significance as an essential constituent in the food industry. Meanwhile,
new fields of application have been opened
up also outside the food industry.
The quality of the end product is primarily dependent
on the refining process and
the nature of the raw oil.
Westfalia Separator has
made a decisive contribution to the development of
continuous refining processes through the application
of centrifugal separation
technology. Depending on
the raw oil qualities, and
tailored to meet local requirements, Westfalia
Separator supplies special
separators as single machines or integrated in complete process lines, e.g. for

Cottonseed oil
Maize germ oil
Olive oil
Rapeseed oil
Soybean oil
Sunflower oil.
Fields of application are

Press oil clarification

Centre of competence Niederahr

Our location in Niederahr,
as the production plant of
Westfalia Separator Industry, stands for the successful production of decanters. Production started in
1962. Whereas in the initial
years, the company manufactured individual parts
for separators, milking
installations and buttermaking machines in the
Westerwald, the entire

decanter production was

relocated to Niederahr at
the start of the 1970s.
More than 6,000 decanters
have been delivered from
Niederahr during the past
40 years, and 394 employees have been trained
during this period. In 1992,
Westfalia Separator invested an eight-figure sum in
expanding the plant. And
further investments will
follow.

Cleanness of the industrial
