Fermentation derived ingredients
Although the original purpose of fermentation was to prevent food spoilage, controlled fermentation processes can be used to create a wide range of probiotics, cultures, algae and yeast products and is widely used in the dairy industry. It can also be employed to bioengineer flavors, manufacture leavening agents and formulate enzymes or acidulants.
GEA has a well-established history of designing and delivering equipment for raw material handling and fermentation lines. A comprehensive range of technologies for is therefore available from a single, reliable source. Our capabilities span the supply of standalone equipment and the configuration and installation of integrated fermentation plants for small- and large-scale production.
The expertise of our engineers guarantees the highest process reliability. Perfectly adapted sanitary designs and equipment avoid dead spots and ensure a good cleanability and drainability. As such we provide our customers with an optimized mix of high output and cost-effective solutions, as well as productivity and flexibility.

Butterfly valves
GEA Hygienic Butterfly Valves offers the benefits of good hygienic design, higher ease of assembly, shorter assembly and maintenance times and thus higher production uptimes.
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...
Clarifier
The clarifying centrifugal separator is used for separating solids out of a liquid. The separator is equipped with a stack of conical disks for creating a large equivalent clarification area in a relatively small bowl volume.
Compensators
The decisive advantage of the VARICOMP® Expansion Compensator is the pocket-free design with drain characteristics – an indispensable feature for optimal cleaning in the CIP/SIP method.
