Suited to utility processes
GEA VARITUBE® Tubular Heat Exchangers for energy & utilities
Multitube with indirect heat exchange, suitable mainly for hot water generation and heating of CIP media with steam or hot water.
Thermal treatment for non-aseptic product applications
Beneficial for utility applications with the use of steam, compared to standard plate heat exchangers.
Tubular heat exchangers are much more robust and are not affected by wear and tear making them ideal for CIP or water heaters. The multitube-in-tube design makes them highly effective, ensuring efficient and reliable performance.
GEA VARITUBE® HS
- Tubular heat exchangers that feature high thermal performance at average volume flow rates of up to 60 m³/h.
- The inner tubes are installed in a U-shape (hairpin) configuration allowing for integrated compensation for thermal expansion.
Max. available capacities - Saturated steam 3 barG
GEA VARITUBE® E
- Optimized to process high volume flow rates of up to 220 m³/h at average thermal capacity. High performance versions for use with heat pump water are also available.
- They are available in tube lengths of 2,000 mm or 3,000 mm and feature a hygienic design, allowing for direct product processing.
- The inner tubes are executed with a corrugated finish to boost the thermal efficiency. The tube bundle can be removed for inspection and is equipped with ‘leak detection’ device.
Max. available capacities - Saturated steam 3 barG
Included as standard for
GEA Varitube® HS & E
• EHEDG-certified gaskets

Nachhaltigere Milcherzeugung für eine wachsende Welt
Die Weltbevölkerung wächst und mit ihr die Nachfrage nach Milch. Milchprodukte sind ein wesentlicher Bestandteil vieler globaler Ernährungsgewohnheiten. Ihre Produktion kann jedoch ressourcenintensiv sein und Auswirkungen auf die Umwelt haben. Christian Müller, Senior Director Sustainability Farm Technologies bei GEA, erläutert, wie technologische Innovationen von GEA die Milchproduktion effizienter, rentabler und nachhaltiger machen.
Saubere Maschinen, sichere Lebensmittel: Was Hygienic Design leistet
Ob fest oder flüssig: Jedes sichere Lebensmittel ist ein Sieg im Kampf gegen unsichtbare mikrobielle Bedrohungen. Die Erfahrungen aus einem Jahrhundert hygienischer Prozessgestaltung helfen dabei: Mit der Verbindung von technischem Know-how aus über 100 Jahren in Technik und Hygienic Design setzt GEA einen hohen Maßstab für Verarbeitungsanlagen," die Lebensmittel schützen und Leben retten.
Filtration sensation: The washing machine principle
Engineering innovation often takes the form of incremental gains. Once in a while, it takes a leap. Case in point: The washing machine. Launched in September 2022, two new GEA software solutions are upending convention and delivering similarly dramatic efficiency gains in the resource-intensive process of membrane filtration.
