Chillers
GEA FES Galaxy series (North America)
The Galaxy is a low-charge ammonia chiller for large-scale, efficient and safe process cooling.
Low Refrigerant Charge and Improved Safety Concept
Reduced Installation Effort and Cost
The packaged design minimizes field-installed ammonia piping and electrical work, resulting in a streamlined installation process and shorter commissioning times compared to traditional central refrigeration systems. The compact skid-mounted arrangement further simplifies installation while reducing overall project costs.
High Efficiency Across Full and Part Load
Featuring variable internal volume ratio (Vi) and optional variable frequency drive operation, the compressor delivers high energy efficiency across a wide operating range. This provides excellent Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) performance under design conditions while maintaining strong part-load efficiency to reduce operating costs.
Reliable Operation and GEA Omni Control
The chiller's rebuildable screw compressor, industrial-grade components, and service-friendly layout help maximize equipment life while minimizing downtime and lifecycle costs. The GEA Omni control system provides intuitive operation, advanced monitoring, remote access, and optional automatic chiller sequencing for optimized plant operation. A wide range of options allows it to be tailored to specific application requirements and site conditions.

Reality check for biotech
The new GEA Application and Technology Center (ATC) in Sarstedt, south of Hannover, is neither a showroom nor a substitute for a lab. It is a place for testing, data collection and early decisions. This is where it becomes clear whether a biological concept can become a robust industrial process. That step is bigger than it may seem.
Shifts in food packaging: 4 trends
Thermoforming has long played a central role in food packaging. Now it is facing a major shift. As regulations tighten, materials evolve and costs rise, form fill seal lines must do more than run reliably – they now shape how food stays fresh, affordable and recyclable. Take a look at the key thermoforming trends informing the food packaging and delivery landscape.
