Reciprocating Compressors
GEA Grasso V series
With a focus on energy efficiency, minimal maintenance costs, and a greater capacity per euro invested, the 2nd Generation Grasso V reciprocating compressors for industrial refrigeration applications contribute to a lower TCO.
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.
Reduce your total cost of ownership and your carbon footprint.
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:
- Energy efficiency
- Minimal maintenance costs
- Maximum reliability with minimal downtime
GEA chooses natural refrigerants
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.
