GEA’s LYOVAC® industrial-scale freeze dryers are built to customer specifications and are available with production areas of 1–60 m² and condenser capacities of more than 1000 kg.
Extending its range of LYOVAC™ Freeze Dryers, GEA now offers both integrated and standalone equipment for the production of small-scale batches and formulation or process development.
ALUS® Automatic Load & Unload Systems minimize the risk of operator/product contamination while loading and unloading a freeze dryer.
The impact of global warming is increasingly apparent all over the world. Towns and cities everywhere face the same challenge: providing their communities with reliable, affordable, sustainably sourced heat. GEA spoke with an expert in the field, Kenneth Hoffmann, Manager, Heat Pumps at GEA Heating & Refrigeration Technologies, about tackling global warming faster.
Something caught Farmer Tom's eye. Instead of another product demo, GEA showcased innovations via AR. That's only the start of GEA's interactive digital farm.
GEA scientists are working with researchers at the Graz University of Technology to configure a homogenization process and technology that turns eucalyptus pulp into 3D-printed, organic structures mimicking human veins, arteries and other tissues.
