Advances in technology are driving the development of products such as shampoo, conditioner, styling creams, waxes, gels and colorants making hair care and styling products even more effective and beneficial to the end consumer.
GEA’s design capability and experience, coupled with our innovative approach to process plant design, means that many of the challenges involved in hair care product manufacturing can be overcome. GEA’s hair care manufacturing process expertise includes standard and tailor-made mixing and blending, and where a product requires a more stable emulsion through high-pressure homogenization will improve its performance and characteristics. Whether it’s a shampoo, conditioner, hair dye or a styling solution — such as a wax or gel — GEA offers a range of hygienic process solutions for the design and manufacture of liquid and semi-solid hair care products.
Our process solutions have been developed over decades and our ability to incorporate high shear inline mixers with proprietary vessel mixer design optimizes the rapid blending of liquids of widely differing viscosities, the hydration and dispersal of thickening and stabilizing agents and the emulsification of silicone oils, etc., providing a completely solution to your hair care application.
GEA supply state-of-the-art plant that ensures hygienic operability, gentle product handling, repeatable processing and future-proof manufacturing lines. Our expertise includes, among others:
- reception and storage of raw materials
- distribution and dosing of raw materials
- mixing technology with buffer tanks
- homogenization systems
- product storage in bulk tanks
- transfer lines to tanks and filling lines
- distribution of utilities such as water, air and steam
- clean-in-place (CIP) systems, automation and process control

Aseptic valves & components
Aseptic valves face exceptionally high demands within UltraClean and Aseptic processes. You can be assured that they all provide highest quality in terms of hygienic design and sustainability.
Continuous Blenders
For liquid component production processes, GEA's efficient in-line blending systems provide the solution you need!
High Shear Mixers
GEA offers a comprehensive range of advanced processing components that guarantee efficient and successful mixing and a high quality end-product.
Homogenizer Compression Block
GEA compression heads are the homogenizer pulsing core since they activate the homogenization process pumping the product at high pressure until it flows inside the homogenizing valve.

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.
