Ketchup remains the number one condiment worldwide. And even though thousands of recipes to make ketchup have been published, and no matter whether it’s used to add color or flavor to meals and dishes, getting the taste and texture right is absolutely essential.
The role of ketchup as an important taste and flavor provider means that market growth is still strong. As markets change, and producers look to develop new flavors and more healthier options, we can help manufacturers stay ahead of the competition while remaining flexible and innovative to develop new recipes.
Drawing on decades of experience, we’ve created a comprehensive range of components, technologies and integrated lines for ketchup manufacturing. This allows our customers the flexibility to develop new recipes, scale up production and diversify their offerings. Without compromising on quality, we can customize solutions to fit your product range, plant capacity, and layout, ensuring they meet your specific needs.
In combining our in-house expertise in both process technology and utilities, we can identify in which processes waste heat can be recovered and diverted to other processes thereby helping our customers work towards their sustainability goals and save money in the process. Our holistic approach results in efficient, resource-saving and reliable production processes that can be implemented with limited or no downtime and ensures a fast return on investment.
We understand the importance of staying current with industry trends and having the flexibility to develop new processes and recipes. This enables our customers to create innovative ingredients and successfully launch new products. At GEA, we provide more than just a one-stop-shop for food production technology; our goal is to be a true partner in your success.
At our test centers, customers have the opportunity to collaborate with our experts to trial new recipes, conduct tests before plant design, and demonstrate proof of concept for products and processes.
Whatever your capacity or production scale, our comprehensive portfolio spans components and stand-alone equipment for smaller scale processing, right through to complete solutions for the highest throughput industrial manufacture. Our technologies include:

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.
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.
The T.VIS® control top is an optimal system for controlling and monitoring GEA valves of the series VARIVENT®, ECOVENT® & T-smart.
The modular design of the VARIVENT® valve system provides many optional versions to perfectly adapt the valve to the process. VARIVENT® mixproof valves are especially used for mixproof shut-off of "hostile" media at pipeline crossing points.
