The Challenge: Perfect Cleaning for Agitator Undersides
In industries such as food, beverage, dairy, chemical and pharmaceuticals, thorough cleaning of all tank surfaces is essential to ensure product purity and safety. While general cleaners effectively cover most areas, the undersides of agitator blades often remain in the so-called spray shadow – a hard-to-reach zone.
Traditional methods, such as filling the tank with cleaning liquid up to the agitator height, are inefficient and rely heavily on increased heat or stronger chemicals. The GEA Direct Sprayer DS 25 has been specifically developed to address this challenge and provide an efficient, targeted solution.
Patented Technology for Maximum Efficiency
The GEA Direct Sprayer DS 25 is mounted flush with the tank wall, ensuring no components protrude into the agitator movement zone. Its specially designed, slightly recessed nozzle generates a solid full-cone spray jet that delivers maximum mechanical cleaning power. Pneumatically controlled, the spray precisely targets agitator undersides, even in complex tank geometries.

Key Features
- Seamless Integration Without Disruption: Thanks to direct installation in the tank wall and the patented nozzle, which opens inward only during the cleaning process, the agitator remains unaffected
- Powerful cleaning action: With a spray force of up to five kilograms, the full-cone spray effectively removes even stubborn residues.
- Hygienic & safe: The fully enclosed design prevents contamination and residue buildup.
- Optimized water usage: Reduces water and chemical consumption by up to 80% compared to traditional systems.
- Time-saving: Faster cleaning cycles mean minimal production downtime.
- Modular Design: Utilizes GEA VESTA®, D-tec®, VARIVENT®, and ECOVENT® technologies for simplified maintenance and spare parts management
- Automated Operation: Compatible with GEA T.VIS® valve controls for seamless integration with digital process controls

Feeding the future: The power of freeze-drying innovation
Waste reduction is important to us at GEA, and by harnessing the power of freeze drying technology, we can transform surplus food into valuable, long-lasting products – helping to reduce waste, extend shelf life and build a more resilient food supply for generations to come.
GEA and Pulmuone honor generations of cold noodle craftsmanship
When plant-forward South Korean food producer Pulmuone brought GEA the challenge of developing a modern spin on the traditional chewy cold (naengmyeon) noodle, GEA’s R&D experts were up to the challenge. They helped develop what is now a commercial hit produced with less water and electricity than previously existing methods. The result is also true to the traditional origins of the dish as well as Pulmuone’s health, well-being and sustainability roots.
