The leisure & sport industries offer a wonderland of activities for people to enjoy their free time. GEA Heating & Refrigeration Technologies’ expertise in large-scale cooling extends to ice stadiums, indoor & outdoor skiing facilities and bobsled tracks.
Applications
Pioneering Technology
We pioneered the use of the natural refrigerant ammonia for ice rinks and have since extended this to bobsled tracks. GEA’s freezing technology provides snow for indoor ski slopes, including the world’s biggest indoor ski resort in Dubai.
Our all-weather snow cannons enable ski centers to extend their seasons, supplying realistic and long-lasting snowfalls regardless of temperature or relative humidity. The snow they make lasts a long time and provides a

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.
