Orbital Cleaners
The Tornado is a liquid driven Orbital Cleaner that can be used for mobile or stationary applications. The round jet nozzles rotate around two axes simultaneously and produce focused high impact jets generating a highly efficient 3D wash pattern.
The hygienic and compact design combined with the high power jets, makes it perfect for cleaning a variety of vessel sizes and equipment, also where hygiene is a priority. The unit can be used in the brewing, beverage, dairy, food, chemicals, coatings and transport industries -as permanently fixed or mobile installations.

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.

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.
