Equipment for diverse products.
GEA has worked in all areas of milk processing for the dairy industry since 1893, and today we can offer tailored state-of-the-art components, equipment, and process lines for all types of fresh, extended shelf-life (ESL), UHT milk and cream products. We continuously innovate to develop new solutions that could help you save energy, recycle waste heat and water, and improve your environmental footprint. However complex your batch or continuous process, and whatever your production scale, our equipment is designed to help you precisely control and optimize just about every stage, from milk and ingredients reception, milk separation, treatment and standardization, through to aseptic storage, filling and packaging.
As a single-source supplier, we can work with you to select the best equipment for setting up an end-to-end process line at your existing site, or partner on designing a new greenfield site, from the ground up. It’s our aim take care of every detail, down to configuring robust, long-lifespan process components and space-saving, hygienic pipework. This level of attention to detail will help you get up and running as fast as possible, without unexpected delays or bottlenecks.
More sustainable processing
Manufacturing dairy products generates a lot of wastewater and residual – often wasted - heat energy, which could be used elsewhere in your plant. Here at GEA, we’ve developed technology processes to help minimize the use of water, recycle process water, and capture and reuse residual energy where possible. Our energy-efficient heating and cooling technologies, including refrigeration systems that use natural refrigerants, and heat recycling units, could help you to significantly cut overall energy use and carbon footprint.
Optimizing yield with less waste
Customers worldwide rely on our dedicated portfolio of centrifugal separators, homogenization and pasteurization units and energy-efficient steam injection and infusion UHT solutions. GEA dairy separators can optionally be equipped with the proplus system to achieve optimum product yield using less fresh water, and generating less waste water. GEA automation and process control systems are tailored specifically for the dairy industry. By monitoring in real time and, if required, automatically adjusting your process parameters, our automation tools can help you achieve reproducible, reliable output and top plant performance and productivity, 24/7. Of course, automation reduces manual tasks, reducing the risk of human error, and freeing up operators to carry out other essential plant functions.
Test centers for your peace of mind
GEA understands the significant challenges and financial risks posed by product development, so we have established dedicated test centers where you can trial your processes before scaling up production. Our test facilities for essential technologies – including formulation, high-shear mixing, inline-blending, separation, UHT, pasteurization, homogenization, membrane filtration, and aseptic filling – are available for you to conduct tests. Its our aim to help you keep energy use and raw material consumption to a minimum. GEA experts at the test centers can work collaboratively with you to evaluate your processes on GEA equipment. Our team can assist in formulating products, refining recipes, and optimizing entire process lines as part of a comprehensive manufacturing chain. By combining our process design expertise with the latest equipment and automation engineering, we help you select the best components, digital tools, and integrated equipment for end-to-end lines. consider every detail, including local processing practices and environmental conditions.
Contact your local GEA representative to find out more about any of our technologies and digital tools.

Aseptic valves & components
Aseptic valves face exceptionally high demands within UltraClean and Aseptic processes. You can be assured that they all provide highest quality in terms of hygienic design and sustainability.
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...
Continuous Blenders
For liquid component production processes, GEA's efficient in-line blending systems provide the solution you need!
Control Top T.VIS® A-15
Equipped with a high-precision path measuring system, the T.VIS® A-15 offers automatic open/close position recognition on any valve, which can be equipped with a T.VIS® control top.

Making milk production more sustainable for a growing world
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.
Clean machines safe food: The power of hygienic design
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.
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.
