Agitator upgrade for the mashing process
A simple upgrade from GEA for better mash mixing and higher beer production.
The GEA Agitator 2.0 is a new design of mash agitator for brewers that makes the process quicker and more effective. The new agitator can be fitted as an upgrade to existing equipment and will: reduce burnt deposits on heating surfaces, create a more even heat distribution within the mash, reduce occupation times, create optimum mash mixing and can achieve faster filtration.
The new Agitator 2.0 has been specially designed by GEA to be particularly effective when mixing powder grist, that can otherwise clump and become sticky; and starchy adjuncts, such as rice, maize, starch and cassava, that must be adequately mixed to ensure the effective release of fermentable sugars.
The slow agitator speeds create lower shear forces, reduce oxygen uptake and improve the control of the enzymatic conversion process. The opposing-incline blade design ensures optimum heat convection thereby preventing hot spots on heated surfaces that can cause the build-up of burnt deposits that impede efficiency. Better heat transfer means shorter residence time and more frequent mashes.

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.
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.
The 2022 CO2 shortage forced breweries to review their dependency on global supply chains. Many were forced to close, unable to carbonate their products. At its breweries in Germany, OeTTINGER GETRÄNKE is turning its own CO2 into a powerful lever for independence and sustainability – with the help of CO2 recovery technology from GEA.
