The fundamental information for the design of a crystallization plant is determined in the laboratory. This includes the chemical composition of the product, its physical properties and the formation of mixed crystals.
For products too sensitive to be shipped to our facility or that require special handling due to safety or health concerns, our team may perform the necessary tests or investigations at customers' premises.
Available Options
Following options are available:
- Test Center Excellence in France – Located in Montigny-le-Bretonneux, has more than 1,000m² of test areal and can validate a comprehensive solution for crystallization processes from industries that go from the food to the chemical one.
- Test Center Excellence in Germany, located in Mülheim an der Ruhr within “Parkstadt Mülheim,” spans over 1200m². It is equipped for batch, continuous, and mini-plant testing. The center offers extensive in-house analytical equipment, including ICP-OES, AAS, TOC/TIC, and wet chemical analyses, allowing for comprehensive chemical analysis in parallel with testing. It serves a wide range of industries, including fine chemicals, battery materials, battery recycling, salt, and fertilizer.
- Pilot plants – Of great importance to validate an industrial process and guarantee the specifications of the end product. Our test centers are equipped with several pilot plants that accurately represent most types of crystallizers, they are built according to the same design principles as industrial units and provide reliable operational data right at the customers´ premises when the product cannot or shall not be transported.

Innovating for impact: shaping better solutions for customers
Industrial production is being asked to use fewer resources, become smarter and keep equipment productive for longer. At GEA, that is changing how innovation happens: engineering, customer insight, digital expertise and service come together earlier – when a solution can still be shaped at its core.
