Ask for a brochure

GRP decanters and silos represent an advanced and innovative solution for the storage and decanting of various materials in a wide range of industrial sectors. Designed to meet the stringent requirements of European and international standards, this equipment offers an exceptional combination of durability, chemical and mechanical resistance, and application flexibility, ideal for meeting the most stringent environmental and operational requirements.

Compliance with Standards: Optimal Performance

GRP decanters and silos are designed and manufactured in accordance with European standard EN 13121-3. This standard establishes the essential criteria for the structural strength, load-bearing capacity and durability of GRP equipment, guaranteeing optimum safety and performance in a wide range of conditions. 
In addition to this standard, GCER is committed to complying with various global standards, to ensure consistent quality and reliability on an international scale.

Design and Fabrication of GRP Silos: Innovative Solutions for Optimal Stability

For silos with a diameter of 1500 mm or less, the frames are typically made with metal legs. This design allows for an even distribution of weight and ensures optimal stability of the silo. For larger silos, the frames are constructed from a rolled ring, an advanced manufacturing technique that provides better weight distribution and ease of installation and maintenance. Support legs extend from this ring, ensuring a robust and durable structure capable of bearing significant loads.

Advanced Decantation Techniques to Optimize the Efficiency of GRP Clarifiers

The decantation techniques used in GRP clarifiers include gravity decantation and centrifugal decantation. The former relies on the difference in density between solids and liquids to enable separation, while the latter uses centrifugal force to accelerate this process. These techniques, combined with advanced composite material technology, ensure maximum efficiency and optimal waste management.

Manufacturing Process of GRP Clarifiers and Silos at GCER

GCER uses advanced manufacturing techniques such as filament winding, hand lay-up molding, and simultaneous spraying to produce high-quality GRP clarifiers and silos. These methods ensure material uniformity and optimal mechanical strength while allowing great flexibility in the design and customization of products.

Filament Winding

This technique involves winding resin-impregnated glass fibers around a rotating mandrel, creating a solid and uniform composite structure. Filament winding allows precise control of the thickness and orientation of the fibers, providing exceptional mechanical strength.

Hand Lay-Up Molding

Hand lay-up molding is a manual method that involves applying layers of glass fiber and resin onto a mold. This technique is particularly suitable for manufacturing small parts and complex shapes, ensuring high precision and superior quality.

Simultaneous Spraying

Simultaneous spraying combines the simultaneous application of glass fibers and resin onto a mold using a spray gun. This method allows for the rapid and efficient production of composite parts while ensuring excellent adhesion and high strength.

Applications of GRP Clarifiers: Performance and Durability Across Various Sectors

GRP decanters are essential in solids and liquids separation processes, commonly used in the chemical, petrochemical, food and water treatment industries. Their chemical and mechanical resistance ensures optimum performance and long service life, even in demanding environments.
