From frozen to final mix in one machine
GEA mixers equipped with ColdSteam technology are designed to optimize the tempering of fully frozen raw material and prepare it for forming into premium quality products. The technology is fast, reducing tempering time down to minutes instead of hours, and is carried out in the same machine as high performance mixing, so only a single unit is required.
The GEA ColdSteam M defrosting technology provides fast tempering of fully frozen raw material to create a homogenous mix for formed products. The technology rapidly defrosts the frozen material by delivering steam under vacuum conditions, which effectively then uses the thermal energy, rather than heat itself, to defrost. Transferring thermal heat by means of 33 °C steam ("cold steam") means that materials are defrosted within minutes, while scalding or protein denaturation.
Main applications for ColdSteam M industrial defrosting technology include the tempering of fully frozen raw material ready for forming into premium quality products such as fish burgers, vegetable and meat replacement products and chicken nuggets.

Defrosting and mixing in one unit
GEA ColdSteam defrosting technology provides fast tempering to create a homogenous mix for formed products. The method, which is ideal for defrosting pre-ground frozen meat, exploits the phenomenon that water boils at a lower temperature in a vacuum. The injected steam condenses on the cold meat block, efficiently transferring thermal energy and reducing defrosting time from hours to minutes. The low steam temperature in the vacuum (approx 33°C, instead of above 100°C) means that scalding or protein denaturation is avoided.

質の高いコールドチェーン管理の重要性を過小評価することはできません。傷みやすい生鮮食品が消費地で安全かつ高品質であることを保証することは、コールドチェーン施設を運営する人々にとって非常に大きな責任です。GEAは、低温貯蔵や配送センター向けに安全で持続可能な冷凍技術を提供する最前線に立ち、お客様の施設のエネルギー消費量と二酸化炭素排出量の削減を支援しています。
自動搾乳における最新の進化は、バッチ搾乳を導入することです。バッチ搾乳とは、通常1日に2~3回、決まった搾乳時間に乳牛をグループ分けして搾乳する酪農方法です。自動化技術は、酪農場における乳牛の福祉、柔軟性、そして持続可能性のバランスを取りつつ、それと同時にコスト構造を継続的に最適化し、より効率的になるという、酪農家の最近の課題を克服するのに役立っています。
多数の国では、安全な水と衛生設備を確保することがいまだに課題となっています。汚れの混じった飲用水により病気になったり、毎日水を汲みに行くという役割を果たすため、学校に通うことができない子供たちが多数存在します。ドイツのハンブルクを拠点とする非営利団体Viva con Aguaと協力することで、GEAは一部のタンザニアの学校にきれいな水を供給する手助けをしています。
