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

Shifts in food packaging: 4 trends
Thermoforming has long played a central role in food packaging. Now it is facing a major shift. As regulations tighten, materials evolve and costs rise, form fill seal lines must do more than run reliably – they now shape how food stays fresh, affordable and recyclable. Take a look at the key thermoforming trends informing the food packaging and delivery landscape.
Obstlagerung bei Betko: Kontrolle vom Erntehöhepunkt bis zur weltweiten Auslieferung
Von den Obstplantagen am Kap bis in die Regale von 40 Ländern – das südafrikanische Verpackungsunternehmen Betko hat sein Geschäft auf Frische, zeitliche Präzision und Zuverlässigkeit aufgebaut. Dank der Kühltechnologie mit kontrollierter Atmosphäre von GEA kann das Unternehmen nun Äpfel und Birnen bis zu 14 Monate lang lagern und den Energieverbrauch um 20 % senken. All dies basiert auf einer mehr als 30-jährigen Partnerschaft.
