GEA technologies in the cold block process incorporate the high microbiological and hygienic demands of food production and the necessity for a cost-effective and safe process.
We engineer and build a wide variety of cold block piping solutions. From the manually operated pipe fence solution, sometime including hoses, to the highly complex and fully automated transportation system for all liquids based on our ECO-MATRIX® piping solution. Individual needs can be considered – quality and product safety are our drivers, and the beer quality our motivation.

GEA ECO-MATRIX® is a fully automatic fixed piping system for process tanks in the beverage industry. It provides enhanced product quality and offers significant cost saving opportunities.

Pipe fences of GEA provide a cost-effective solution for media distribution in breweries. Just like the swing bend panels, our pipe fences are designed to customer specifications and individually tailored for your system.

In piping systems with GEA swing bend panels, media distribution is performed via pipe bends and valves (generally butterfly valves). In this case, the operators must have good knowledge of the process in order to avoid errors.

Our extensive experience and expertise in valve block design guarantees high maintainability/accessibility as well as low space requirement.
Looking to the future of beer for our 150th

Thermoforming has long played a central role in food packaging. Now it is facing a major shift. As regulations tighten, materials evolve and costs rise, form fill seal lines must do more than run reliably – they now shape how food stays fresh, affordable and recyclable. Take a look at the key thermoforming trends informing the food packaging and delivery landscape.

From the orchards of the Cape to store shelves across 40 countries, the South African packhouse Betko has built a business on freshness, timing and reliability. With GEA’s controlled atmosphere refrigeration technology, the company can now store apples and pears for up to 14 months and cut energy consumption by 20%, with a partnership of more than 30 years at the heart of it all.
