The Challenge: Perfect Cleaning for Agitator Undersides
In industries such as food, beverage, dairy, chemical and pharmaceuticals, thorough cleaning of all tank surfaces is essential to ensure product purity and safety. While general cleaners effectively cover most areas, the undersides of agitator blades often remain in the so-called spray shadow – a hard-to-reach zone.
Traditional methods, such as filling the tank with cleaning liquid up to the agitator height, are inefficient and rely heavily on increased heat or stronger chemicals. The GEA Direct Sprayer DS 25 has been specifically developed to address this challenge and provide an efficient, targeted solution.
Patented Technology for Maximum Efficiency
The GEA Direct Sprayer DS 25 is mounted flush with the tank wall, ensuring no components protrude into the agitator movement zone. Its specially designed, slightly recessed nozzle generates a solid full-cone spray jet that delivers maximum mechanical cleaning power. Pneumatically controlled, the spray precisely targets agitator undersides, even in complex tank geometries.

Key Features
- Seamless Integration Without Disruption: Thanks to direct installation in the tank wall and the patented nozzle, which opens inward only during the cleaning process, the agitator remains unaffected
- Powerful cleaning action: With a spray force of up to five kilograms, the full-cone spray effectively removes even stubborn residues.
- Hygienic & safe: The fully enclosed design prevents contamination and residue buildup.
- Optimized water usage: Reduces water and chemical consumption by up to 80% compared to traditional systems.
- Time-saving: Faster cleaning cycles mean minimal production downtime.
- Modular Design: Utilizes GEA VESTA®, D-tec®, VARIVENT®, and ECOVENT® technologies for simplified maintenance and spare parts management
- Automated Operation: Compatible with GEA T.VIS® valve controls for seamless integration with digital process controls

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.
Fueling the circular economy in shipping
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.
Closing the loop: key lessons for breweries from OeTTINGER
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.
