GEA technologies in the cold block process incorporate the high microbiological and hygienic demands of food production and the necessity for a cost-effective and safe process.
We engineer and build a wide variety of cold block piping solutions. From the manually operated pipe fence solution, sometime including hoses, to the highly complex and fully automated transportation system for all liquids based on our ECO-MATRIX® piping solution. Individual needs can be considered – quality and product safety are our drivers, and the beer quality our motivation.

GEA ECO-MATRIX® is a fully automatic fixed piping system for process tanks in the beverage industry. It provides enhanced product quality and offers significant cost saving opportunities.

Pipe fences of GEA provide a cost-effective solution for media distribution in breweries. Just like the swing bend panels, our pipe fences are designed to customer specifications and individually tailored for your system.

In piping systems with GEA swing bend panels, media distribution is performed via pipe bends and valves (generally butterfly valves). In this case, the operators must have good knowledge of the process in order to avoid errors.

Our extensive experience and expertise in valve block design guarantees high maintainability/accessibility as well as low space requirement.
Looking to the future of beer for our 150th
GEA’s past fiscal year was one of significant growth and further profitability gains. In particular, the technology group substantially increased order intake, with all divisions contributing here. GEA also made progress in all Mission 30 strategic growth areas. In addition, GEA met key interim targets under its climate plan ahead of schedule. Major milestones in fiscal year 2025 were admission to the DAX index, the award of one of the largest contracts in the company’s history, and streamlining of the corporate structure.
Thanks to a new SmartParc manufacturing site, food processors in the U.K. are cutting their running costs and emissions. With GEA heating and cooling technology at its core, this collaborative production model demonstrates how innovation is accelerating the industry’s net-zero ambitions.
“Brewing eggs is like brewing beer.” It’s the kind of comparison that makes you smile – and then it clicks: Something complex suddenly feels simple. Through this personal film, set in the agricultural heartland of the U.S., we explore precision fermentation and the real-world work it takes to turn an idea into food.
