Achieve stable, consistent wet coating performance
The GEA ProCoater is an advanced wet coating machine designed to deliver consistent, high-quality results across a wide range of coated products. Engineered for stability and control, it ensures uniform batter application while reducing waste and operator intervention. Ideal for poultry, pork, fish, cheese, and plant-based products, the ProCoater enables efficient production from start-up to shutdown.
Ensure stable coating performance
- Up to 80% less foam formation for smoother batter flow
- Uniform batter curtain reduces defects like white spots
- Stable flow from start-up to shutdown ensures consistent results
Maximize process control
- Adjustable scrapers enable fine tuning without stopping production
- Smart air knives ensure even blow-off across full belt width
- Reduced batter carryover improves line cleanliness and efficiency
Improve product consistency
- Uniform coating for all product shapes and sizes
- Predictable pickup ensures accurate coating weight
- Fewer defects and reduced product variation across batches
Reduce waste and downtime
- Less rework and fewer B-grades improve yield
- Stable process minimizes operator intervention
- Efficient batter use lowers overall production costs
Main product applications

Technology highlights
The GEA ProCoater combines innovative design and new technologies to deliver superior stability, control, and consistency in wet coating. Each element is engineered to reduce variability, optimize batter behavior, and ensure reliable performance—even with complex coatings and demanding production conditions.
Guided return flow system (Patent pending)
The unique flow design reduces air entrainment and foam formation by up to 80%, creating a calm, stable batter flow. This ensures consistent coating quality while minimizing defects and maintaining uniform curtain performance.
Batter retention plate (Patent pending)
Keeps products firmly positioned during coating, preventing floating or drifting. This ensures controlled coating pickup and improves consistency across all products on the line.
Curtain creator & overflow system
The fully redesigned curtain creator and overflow system delivers a strong, uniform batter curtain for stable coating pickup. It ensures consistent batter performance throughout production, even during long runs and across a wide range of viscosities.

GEA Insights
The breakthrough that changed spray drying
In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.
Beyond the machine: unlocking better plant performance
An efficient machine does not automatically make an efficient factory. Real improvement often starts by looking beyond individual equipment and understanding how processes, energy systems and operating decisions affect one another. It’s a holistic approach designed to uncover opportunities that might otherwise be missed.
How a valve reshapes the way food and drinks are made
In food and beverage plants, valves are commonly operated using compressed air. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology moves valves with water instead, in a closed, digitally controlled circuit. The result is a valve that can be held exactly in place and steered in fine-tuned steps. This results in lower energy use and greater control.
