With state-of-the-art pilot plants and test benches our R & D Center is optimally equipped for testing in the fields of jet pumps and vacuum systems.
GEA has several test benches for different types of jet pumps. Water, compressed air or steam are available motive media. These facilities are used for quality and manufacturing control as well as for the development of new and improved jet pumps.
Only very few companies can dispose of such test facilities including a test bench for single-stage and multi-stage steam jet vacuum pumps. Here ejectors with suction pressures from atmosphere down to 0.1 mbar can be tested.
For our customers the results assure the function of the ejectors according to the specification and they are a good starting point to solve problems during start-up and operation.
More than 500 jet pumps are tested per year. The archive of more than 25,000 test reports is the base for precise and reliable design of effective ejectors.

GEA Insights
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.
