Agrochemicals
A proven track record in agrochemicals
GEA has provided innovative solutions in the agrochemicals sector for more than 60 years. We combine our extensive expertise in centrifugal separation, evaporation, crystallization, drying, and granulation, with research and development, to generate added value with respect to both process and production.
Comprehensive and innovative solutions
From R&D to commercial scale, GEA offers complete solutions to meet your specific product requirements.
GEA’s expertise in the agrochemicals sector has been harnessed around the world, from the Atacama desert of Chile to the European sylvinite and carnallite mines, and from the dead sea in the near East to caprolactam and methyl methacrylate facilities in Asia and North America. Our technologies can be applied to a wide range of products, including: ammonium salts, pesticides, copper derivatives, zinc and magnesium compounds, urea, potassium chloride, potassium sulfate, and potassium nitrate for the potash fertilizer market.
We offer a wide range of plant technologies, including separators, decanters, evaporators, crystallizers, spray dryers and fluid beds for agglomeration/granulation. These have been developed to meet specific requirements in areas such as free-flowing characteristics, powder granulometry, low dust levels and redispersion parameters.
GEA also provides solutions for the recovery of by-products from waste streams, and for reactive crystallisation (for example, to produce granular ammonium sulfate from spent sulfuric acid and ammonia).

Centrifugal Separator
GEA separators are designed for liquid-based applications. Using centrifugal force, they are used for separating suspensions consisting of two or more phases of different densities, i.e. they can be used for liquid-liquid separation, for liquid-liquid-solid separation or for liquid-solid separation. They are equally as effective at separating liq...
Cooling, quenching & conditioning
The Rapid Cooling or Quenching of gas streams is used in several essential applications in the process industries.
Decanter Centrifuge
The decanter’s hour has come as soon as the solids content in the suspension to be processed is particularly high. These machines provide the benefits of high clarifying efficiency and maximum dewatering as well as the separation of liquids with the simultaneous removal of solids. The main requirements in this respect include a high bowl speed, a...
Dosing & Feeding
GEA supplies a market-leading range of powder handling, feeding and dosing solutions. Our volumetric and gravimetric powder feeding systems guarantee highly accurate processing in critical applications such as minor/major ingredient preparation, pre-mixing, recipe handling, blending and packing.

GEA reports profitable growth for 2025 and expects accelerated revenue growth
GEA’s past fiscal year was one of significant growth and further profitability gains. In particular, the technology group substantially increased order intake, with all divisions contributing here. GEA also made progress in all Mission 30 strategic growth areas. In addition, GEA met key interim targets under its climate plan ahead of schedule. Major milestones in fiscal year 2025 were admission to the DAX index, the award of one of the largest contracts in the company’s history, and streamlining of the corporate structure.
How SmartParc is rewriting the rules of food production
Thanks to a new SmartParc manufacturing site, food processors in the U.K. are cutting their running costs and emissions. With GEA heating and cooling technology at its core, this collaborative production model demonstrates how innovation is accelerating the industry’s net-zero ambitions.
The food science playground
“Brewing eggs is like brewing beer.” It’s the kind of comparison that makes you smile – and then it clicks: Something complex suddenly feels simple. Through this personal film, set in the agricultural heartland of the U.S., we explore precision fermentation and the real-world work it takes to turn an idea into food.
