GEA Grasso M series
The GEA Grasso M series comes in eight sizes with a swept volume ranging from 231 to 870 m³/h (at 2,940 rpm).
The integration of the suction filter and coupling housing greatly simplify assembly of the package. The outstanding energy-efficiency of these compressors is based on the infinitely adjustable capacity combined with the extended variable Vi-range (internal volume ratio). The variable speed from 1,000 to 6,000 rpm ensures a wide operation range and maximum efficiency in full and part load.

GEA's innovative process marks a milestone in the pretreatment of biofuels such as hydro-treated vegetable oil and sustainable aviation fuel. By eliminating the bleaching process, manufacturers benefit from significant savings potential: over 50% lower operating costs and up to 12% less CO2 emissions.
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.
