Proven technologies
Offering a wide range of functional properties and nutritional value, the protein market is growing. An even bigger one, though, is starch, which is best known for its texturizing functionalities. Both starch and protein are important ingredients in the food industry; often, they’re extracted and isolated from the same raw materials.
GEA’s proven technologies ensure repeatable processing and high product quality, while complying with the strictest food safety criteria. From sweeteners and maltodextrins to vegetable protein powders and hydrolyzed animal proteins, we’ll support your journey and help you to get your premium ingredients to market.

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.
