Minerals & inorganic chemicals
From alumina to zinc compounds, GEA is able to offer customers high performance process systems and in-depth application know-how, giving an overall distinct competitive advantage to produce at high rates, reduced cost and improved efficiency.
Whether your feed is in liquid, suspended Crystal or solid form, we help you find the right solution:
Evaporation and Crystallization
In the chemical industry GEA evaporators and crystallizers are integrated in various production processes for inorganic products and organic compounds. Our wide range of proprietary equipment includes large capacity pre-evaporator systems as well as fine chemicals crystallization units.
References include: Sodium and Potassium chloride, Sodium and Ammonium sulphate, Potassium nitrate or Potassium and Sodium carbonate.
Drying
A complete range of industrial drying systems to dry granules, cakes, powders, sludges and slurries. Feed material can be in liquid, suspended crystal or solid form.
GEA helps industrials meet different efficiency, safety and environmental requirements. As may inorganic chemicals often include hazardous ingredients, all our plants are designed to meet the strictest standards related to explosion and emission control systems.

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...
The Rapid Cooling or Quenching of gas streams is used in several essential applications in the process industries.
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...
Ejectors, are devices for the conveyance, compression or mixing of gases, vapors, liquids or solids in which a gaseous or liquid medium serves as the motive force. They are "pumps without moving parts".
Climate change and a growing world population put increased pressure on the energy-intensive food industry to feed more people without further impacting the planet. George Shepherd, GEA’s Global Technical Sustainability Manager, explains how GEA uses its engineering know-how to help processors produce more sustainably yet increase productivity.
The world's population is growing and with it demand for milk. Dairy is an essential component of many global diets. However, its production can be resource-intensive and impact the environment. GEA’s Christian Müller, Senior Director Sustainability Farm Technologies, sheds light on how technological innovations powered by GEA make milk production more efficient and profitable.
Every safe beverage and bite of food is a victory against invisible microbial threats – a battle shaped by a century of hygienic process design. With more than 100 years of engineering and hygienic design know-how, GEA sets the industry standard for processing equipment that protects food and saves lives.
