Agitator upgrade for the mashing process
GEA Agitator 2.0
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.
Recognize your benefits
- Can be retrofitted to all round mash vessels and adjunct cookers
- Reduce burnt deposits on heating zones and vessel walls
- Faster heating of the mash vessel
- Shorter occupation time allowing more mashes a day
- Reduced oxygen uptake
- Suitable for hammer mill grist and all starchy adjuncts
- Fast return on investment
Even with starchy adjuncts and powder grist
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.
Better heat transfer
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.

GEA Intelligent Wort Boiling Management (IWM)
Wort boiling is the process step that uses the most energy in your brewhouse. The standard wort boiling process is related to static parameters – independent from boiling volume and energy consumption. When the parameters for each recipe have been entered, you can no longer make changes, even if the environment affects the process.
GEA Multifunctional Lautering Management (MLM)
GEA Multifunctional Lautering Management is a software developed for the continuous monitoring of the lautering process that initiates interventions to optimize your lautering in real-time. It compensates for variations in raw material quality so the brewmaster doesn’t need to do it manually.

A new recipe for indulgence
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.
