Fines return system for food and dairy spray dryers
Fines return system for food and dairy spray dryers

We know that food safety, safe working conditions and production time are key concerns for our customers.GEA’s No Intervention Fines Return System (FRS) eliminates the need for manual intervention below the cyclones via patented valves that comply with EHEDG hygienic design criteria.
Manual intervention before and after CIP requires time-consuming manual lifts and can result in contamination and leakage.By avoiding cumbersome manual reconfigurations, the CIP process becomes faster, safer, and more reliable.
Other benefits include:
New installation or retrofit? No problem.
For decades, GEA has been at the forefront of technical innovations in the field of powder processing. Our experience shows that food safety, safe working conditions, and production time are key concerns for customers. That’s why we developed this new solution for CIP of the fines return system – to ensure an efficient, reliable, and safe CIP process.
The No Intervention FRS, designed for food and dairy powder processing, can be retrofit to existing plants or installed in new plants for better working conditions, decreased downtime, and minimized contamination risk.

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.
