Pesticides
GEA offers excellent solutions to meet your specific product requirements.
We have vast experience in processing and drying of pesticides and are able to meet our clients’ requests. .
Pesticides are mainly includes all of the following:
- herbicides
- insecticides
- fungicides
A pesticide consists of an active ingredient coupled with inert ingredients. The active ingredient kills the pests, while the inert ingredients facilitate spraying and coating the target plant.
Originally active ingredients were once distilled from natural substances and are now often synthesized from petroleum. In addition the contain other ingredients like chlorine, sulfur, phosphorus, nitrogen, and bromine.
Inert ingredients can be many substances, like water, kerosene, emulsifier if the pesticide is a liquid. A powder pesticide will typically contain vegetable matter such as corn cobs, clays or powdered minerals.
During their production a large volume of exhaust is generated and needs to be treated. Generally first dust & particle removal apply followed by physical and chemical absorption process.
These by-products often contain components such as ammonia, phosphate or urea. To remove these components, GEA designs gas scrubbing systems consisting of a combination of dry and wet gas scrubbing stages.

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...
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...
Ejector Systems
Ejectors, are devices for the conveyance, compression or mixing of gases, vapors, liquids or solids in which a gaseous or liquid medium serves as the motive force. They are "pumps without moving parts".
Flash Dryers
With a history spanning from the Flash dryer's invention in 1928 to the development of unrivaled dispersion equipment and the most efficient integrated systems, no one knows more about Flash drying than GEA.

From fossil fuels to future-ready: The rise of heat pumps
While the initial interest in heat pumps was to save on operating costs, reducing emissions is now the main driver for the technology. Learn more about how GEA is spearheading efforts to increase energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions through hidden champion heat pump technology for industrial and district heating sectors.
A new recipe for indulgence
What if your favorite chocolate didn’t require cocoa beans and your coffee was locally produced? As climate disruption, price hikes and ethical concerns hit two of our most beloved indulgences, scientists are reimagining how we produce them – using microbes, not monocultures. The goal: preserve the flavor and properties of coffee and chocolate while minimizing carbon emissions and improving food resilience.
Fueling the circular economy in shipping
Ports now compete not just on logistics, but on sustainability. At Greece’s Piraeus port, an advanced processing and recovery facility recycles ship waste oil into fuel. Equipped with GEA’s high-performance centrifuges, it sets a new benchmark for state-of-the-art, environmentally responsible port operations.
