Take the Best – Separate the Rest

The eye of the customer decides over success andfailure, not the way the supplier sees things. Orien-tation to the needs of the customer is the foun-dation of every forward-looking company. This is the vision behind "Take the Best, Separate the Rest".Achieving the best for your customers in joint cooperation with you so that you can satisfy thehigh expectations of your customers. This is the highest priority for Westfalia Separator.

pany a key player in centrifugal separation technology.Advances and new developments in process technolo-gies produce new tasks every day to which innovativeand cost-effective solutions must be found. Practicalorientation and the demands of the customer are the keyissues in this respect. Westfalia Separator consistentlyorientates itself to all aspects of customer needs. Inorder to satisfy the requirements of the market,Westfalia Separator responded very early with the struc-tural decentralisation. Autonomous companies werefounded which focus on their markets and specific pro-

ducts, and which are free from the “strategic”constraints of other market segments.

By this means, customer proxi-mity has been secured

which allows WestfaliaSeparator to directly

respond to thedemands of the

market.

A philosophy that Westfalia Separator consistently im-plements. Today, Westfalia Separator offers ready-to-connect separator and decanter systems and completelines for a wide range of processes. Thecore competence of the newWestfalia Separator is inte-grating separators anddecanters in pro-cess technology.This strategyhas madethe com-

Westfalia Separator has been manufacturingcentrifugal separators for over 110 years.Today, the company is a market leader in thefield of centrifugal separation technology. Thename Westfalia Separator stands for highestproduct quality and excellent service – this is documented, for instance, by the qualitysystem 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 theMechanical Separation Division.

The company was founded in 1893 in Oelde, Westphalia, Germany.Initially, only hand-operated centrifuges weremanufactured. Adapting to the pace ofindustrialization, the smallcentrifuges developed into high-performanceseparators and decantersfor diverse branches ofindustry. Today, separation techno-logy offers application-orientated, innovative so-lutions in machine designand process engineeringfor many sectors includingbeverage technology, dairytechnology, oils and fatsprocessing, oils and fatsrecovery, starch technolo-gy, chemicals, pharmaceu-ticals, biotechnology, in-

functions perfectly and iscustomised to meet thecustomer’s individual re-quirements. Ambitious quality management en-ables all processes to be-come more efficient andmore cost-effective. Thisresults in smooth operatingprocedures which guaran-tee rapid order processingand which minimise theerror ratio.

Certified quality

Since the start of 2000, thethree production facilities,as well as domestic andforeign subsidiariesthroughout all parts of the

world, have had standardDIN EN ISO 9001 certifi-cation. This was followed in August 2001 by certifi-cation according to the environmental standard ISO 14001.Westfalia Separator isaccordingly one of thesmall number of globallyoperating companieswhich have a quality cer-tificate with world-widevalidity.

Separators and decanters are centrifugeswith which solids can be removed fromliquids or liquid mixtures can be separatedwith simultaneous removal of the solids.

Development starts withresearch.But developments in thelaboratory have to be trans-lated into products. Westfalia Separator achie-ves this by working closelytogether with researchinstitutes, universities andindustry. The result areinnovative developmentsin the field of separationtechnology.Centrifuges as stand-alonemachines or integrated incomplete process linesmake possible the realiza-tion of new process techni-ques while at the sametime making the produc-tion processes efficient and economical.

Separators and decanters are used in many areas. Westfalia Separator Food Tecspecialises in the fields of beverage anddairy 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 thebasis for the design of complete system solutions which are customised to meet the specific needs of our customers.

Local presenceworld-wide

The vineyard in France, the brewery in Australia, the vegetable oil refinery in South-East Asia. Our customers are to be foundthroughout the entireworld. And WestfaliaSeparator is also to befound with them. Sales andservice companies as wellas distributors world-wideensure that everythingruns smoothly. Starting theplanning right through torapid delivery of spareparts. The focus is alwayson the specific needs of thecustomer. One brewery isnever identical to another,and a small oil mill is notidentical to a large refinery.

Quality as Incentive

Only quality is consistentwith the taste of the consu-mer. Innovative installa-tions guarantee that thisquality is maintained at ahigh level in all processes.Reliable and economical.The company originallymanufactured hand-opera-ted centrifuges, and theseactivities rapidly develo-ped into the production ofhigh-performance separa-tors, decanters and com-plete process lines. Today,the products are manufac-tured in Oelde, Niederahr(Germany) and ChâteauThierry (France) and supplied for an extremelywide range of applicationsthroughout the world.

Customised quality

The potential applicationsof mechanical separatingtechnology have expandedconsiderably. At present,separators, decanters andcomplete processing linesare being successfully usedin more than 2,000 indu-strial applications. Nowadays, machines andprocess techniques whichmeet the most stringentdemands in terms of tech-nology and quality aredeveloped on the basis of decades of experience and intensive research anddevelopment. Particularlywith fractionation of ve-getable oil, the production

Our location in Niederahr, as the production plant ofWestfalia Separator Indus-try, stands for the success-ful production of decan-ters. Production started in1962. Whereas in the initialyears, the company manu-factured individual partsfor separators, milkinginstallations and butter-making machines in theWesterwald, the entire

decanter production wasrelocated to Niederahr atthe start of the 1970’s.More than 6,000 decantershave been delivered fromNiederahr during the past40 years, and 394 employ-ees have been trainedduring this period. In 1992,Westfalia Separator inves-ted an eight-figure sum inexpanding the plant. Andfurther investments willfollow.
