Discover a typical seafood process from preparation to packaging
GEA’s defrosting & mixing equipment and bowl cutting machines prepare fish and other seafood products for further processing. Efficient treatment of these raw materials optimizes product quality and increases operational efficiency. The result: maximum value from the production line.
Marination can turn seafood and fish cuts into a succulent basis for a delicious meal as well cost-effectively prepare products on an industrial scale. GEA's innovative marination equipment brings one of the world's oldest food preparation techniques into today's automated food processing industry. Increased shelf life has evolved into added value, new products creation and increasing profits.
Fish, nuggets, stars... with GEA forming equipment there is almost no limit to the shapes and sizes you can create. Products like fish, seafood and fish-replacement products are handled appropriately by innovative forming systems to preserve quality and structure.
The right coating adds value to your fish ad seafood products. And now, in line with the trend towards healthier eating and lower fat intake, you need more accurate control over coating parameters. GEA industrial food coating solutions give you this control - plus the capability to cost-effectively produce an appetizing variety of products.
Know-how to cook a product and understanding the principles of cooking is the basis for the art of cooking. Food processors want to serve the food chain with attractive, healthy and innovative food. Using the GEA ovens, processors are capable of tuning the products to their demands and innovation to anticipate future trends.
Loading of shingle, stack, zig zag, shaved, interleaved or any contour portions in a most efficient way? Our efficient loading systems feed the portions fully automatically from the slicer to a thermoformer, traysealer or horizontal flowpacker. Furthermore we can provide semi-automatic loading systems as well.
GEA Freezers: State-of-the-art freezing technology. GEA Freezers fulfils customer needs from initial contact to long after installation. Our widely respected design and manufacturing teams produce a broad range of energy efficient freezing and cooling systems. GEA customizes systems based on extensive experience with a large breadth of products and processes.
Packaging plays a critical role in distribution, preservation and presentation of food. Differentiating your product on the shelf is as important as the product’s taste itself.

GEA Insights
The breakthrough that changed spray drying
In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.
Beyond the machine: unlocking better plant performance
An efficient machine does not automatically make an efficient factory. Real improvement often starts by looking beyond individual equipment and understanding how processes, energy systems and operating decisions affect one another. It’s a holistic approach designed to uncover opportunities that might otherwise be missed.
How a valve reshapes the way food and drinks are made
In food and beverage plants, valves are commonly operated using compressed air. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology moves valves with water instead, in a closed, digitally controlled circuit. The result is a valve that can be held exactly in place and steered in fine-tuned steps. This results in lower energy use and greater control.
