As the customers’ requirements on the design of a new plant differ a lot from each other- our solutions are individually adapted to the tasks.
Intensive relationships between the client´s side and GEA are necessary throughout the project for achieving optimum results and for considering the production process entirely.
Very variable plant concepts are the outcome– due to different raw materials, disposable resources, logistics, national guidelines and other constraints to be respected.
The goal stays the same for all solutions: to figure out the best production processes for our clients for shortest ROI and for lowest total costs of ownership.
Especially the design of entire process lines offers GEA the possibility to make use of its creativity, excellence and technical knowledge.

Dehydration and Purification
Where product purities superior to feasible concentrations through rectification are required, one of these technologies come to operation: Molecular Sieve Technology, Distillation with Entrainer, and Pervaporation through Hydrophilic Membranes.

MVR / TVR heated Distillation Plants
The thermal vapor recompression applies steam jets to raise the temperature level of vapor flows in the plant. Condensation of these boosted flows is then used for the heating or evaporating of lower temperature process flows. Thereby the steam consumption is minimized.

Skid Mounted Distillation Units
The fabrication of compact skid mounted units for smaller product quantities has several advantages for our client.

Multiple Effect Distillation Plants
The core of the distillation range of products is the multiple-effect pressure/vacuum rectification system. The design is largely determined by the characteristic properties of the feed and the specific requirements of the final product.

The breakthrough that changed spray drying
In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.

Beyond the machine: unlocking better plant performance
An efficient machine does not automatically make an efficient factory. Real improvement often starts by looking beyond individual equipment and understanding how processes, energy systems and operating decisions affect one another. It’s a holistic approach designed to uncover opportunities that might otherwise be missed.

How a valve reshapes the way food and drinks are made
In food and beverage plants, valves are commonly operated using compressed air. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology moves valves with water instead, in a closed, digitally controlled circuit. The result is a valve that can be held exactly in place and steered in fine-tuned steps. This results in lower energy use and greater control.
