Reciprocating Compressors
Reciprocating compressors for industrial refrigeration set new standards. With a focus on maximum efficiency and reliability, GEA offers sustainability, low total cost of ownership and a future-proof solution.
With the GEA Grasso V reciprocating compressor series, GEA starts a completely new era for the industrial refrigeration market. This compressor represents the standard across many industrial applications, such as the food, dairy and beverage processing, storage and distribution, and data centers.
While developing the new Grasso reciprocating compressors, GEA engineers continually put themselves in the position of the end-user. Time and again, each component was assessed for the most important elements that contribute to a low TCO:
GEA Grasso compressors are designed and produced in Europe. They bring together more than 100 years of design experience with market leading research and technology. GEA reciprocating compressors are manufactured in 's-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands. You are invited to visit and see the precision and quality of the GEA production process first-hand.
GEA has always invested in reciprocating technology with a clear vision for the future. The all new, 2nd Generation Grasso V reciprocating compressors follow this trend. They have all the key features of the previous Grasso V models, but better:

GEA’s industrial reciprocating compressors stand for reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) thanks to less power consumption and maximum reliability.
The GEA Grasso V XHP compressors, that use natural refrigerants such as ammonia, are designed to minimize their environmental impact. With the ability to reach water temperatures of up to 95°C / 203°F and offering best-in-class efficiency, they are an ideal choice for heat pump systems.
A proven performer becomes even better:
Higher temperatures, an enhanced capacity range, best-in-class efficiencies, increased sustainability at lower total costs – the new GEA RedGenium heat pump has it all.
With an ESEER >9, these models fully exploit the potential of the GEA Blu chiller concept.

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.
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.
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.
