Agrochemicals
A proven track record in agrochemicals
GEA has provided innovative solutions in the agrochemicals sector for more than 60 years. We combine our extensive expertise in centrifugal separation, evaporation, crystallization, drying, and granulation, with research and development, to generate added value with respect to both process and production.
Comprehensive and innovative solutions
From R&D to commercial scale, GEA offers complete solutions to meet your specific product requirements.
GEA’s expertise in the agrochemicals sector has been harnessed around the world, from the Atacama desert of Chile to the European sylvinite and carnallite mines, and from the dead sea in the near East to caprolactam and methyl methacrylate facilities in Asia and North America. Our technologies can be applied to a wide range of products, including: ammonium salts, pesticides, copper derivatives, zinc and magnesium compounds, urea, potassium chloride, potassium sulfate, and potassium nitrate for the potash fertilizer market.
We offer a wide range of plant technologies, including separators, decanters, evaporators, crystallizers, spray dryers and fluid beds for agglomeration/granulation. These have been developed to meet specific requirements in areas such as free-flowing characteristics, powder granulometry, low dust levels and redispersion parameters.
GEA also provides solutions for the recovery of by-products from waste streams, and for reactive crystallisation (for example, to produce granular ammonium sulfate from spent sulfuric acid and ammonia).

Centrifugal Separator
GEA separators are designed for liquid-based applications. Using centrifugal force, they are used for separating suspensions consisting of two or more phases of different densities, i.e. they can be used for liquid-liquid separation, for liquid-liquid-solid separation or for liquid-solid separation. They are equally as effective at separating liq...
Cooling, quenching & conditioning
The Rapid Cooling or Quenching of gas streams is used in several essential applications in the process industries.
Decanter Centrifuge
The decanter’s hour has come as soon as the solids content in the suspension to be processed is particularly high. These machines provide the benefits of high clarifying efficiency and maximum dewatering as well as the separation of liquids with the simultaneous removal of solids. The main requirements in this respect include a high bowl speed, a...
Dosing & Feeding
GEA supplies a market-leading range of powder handling, feeding and dosing solutions. Our volumetric and gravimetric powder feeding systems guarantee highly accurate processing in critical applications such as minor/major ingredient preparation, pre-mixing, recipe handling, blending and packing.
