GEA developed a range of standard skid mounted units suitable for the production of liquid food concentrates. IceCon® provides an affordable solution for producing high quality concentrates, without losing quality. The losses in the discharged water are negligible.
This generally produces water that can be re-used in any up/downstream processes or can be sent straight to the drain. The newly developed compact series will be offered as a complete solution.
All relevant components for running a freeze concentration plant are installed on three modules that make up the IceCon® Compact equipment range, meeting the standards for container transport. The modules will be commissioned and tested before shipment ensuring a smooth and fast installation and startup period.
The freeze concentrator requires only electricity and by installing a pre-cooling skid energy can be recovered for an even further reduced CO2 footprint.
The Compact series is available in three sizes:
- IceCon® Compact 25
- IceCon® Compact 40
- IceCon® Compact 60
| Unit | Compact 25 | Compact 40 | Compact 60 | |
| Dewatering range | [kg/h] | 100-200 | 200-450 | 450-900 |
| Skid dimensions (l x b x h) | [m] | 5 x 4 x 5 | 6 x 4.5 x 5.5 | 6 x 4.5 x 6 |
| Footprint (l x b x h), incl. maintenance area | [m] | 7 x 6 x 8 | 8 x 7 x 9 | 8 x 7 x 9 |
| Estimated operating weight | [kg] | 6,000 | 12,000 | 20,000 |
| Filling volume | [m3] | 2 | 4.5 | 8 |
| Installed power (excl. chiller) | [kW] | 14 | 27 | 44 |
The compact series offers:
- A complete solution for dewatering rates up to 900 kg/h
- Straight forward automatic and continuous operation
- Small footprint
- Container size model skids
- Clear supply/scope split
- Easy installation
- FAT before shipment (smooth start-up)

Reality check for biotech
The new GEA Application and Technology Center (ATC) in Sarstedt, south of Hannover, is neither a showroom nor a substitute for a lab. It is a place for testing, data collection and early decisions. This is where it becomes clear whether a biological concept can become a robust industrial process. That step is bigger than it may seem.
التغيرات في تعبئة وتغليف الأغذية: أربعة توجهات
لطالما لعب التشكيل الحراري دورًا محوريًا في تغليف الأغذية. لكنه يواجه الآن تحولًا كبيرًا. فمع تشديد اللوائح، وتطور المواد، وارتفاع التكاليف، يجب أن تقوم خطوط التشكيل، والتعبئة، والإغلاق بأكثر من مجرد التشغيل الموثوق به – فهي الآن تشكّل كيفية الحفاظ على الأغذية طازجة، وبأسعار معقولة، وقابلة لإعادة التدوير. ألقِ نظرة على أهم توجهات التشكيل الحراري التي تؤثر على مجال تعبئة، وتغليف، وتوزيع الأغذية.
