Tubular heat exchangers (THE) are at the heart of all process plants for heating, cooling and pasteurizing.

Tubular heat exchangers are essential components in various industrial processes, enabling efficient heat transfer between two fluids or gases. They are critical for maintaining optimal temperatures, improving energy efficiency, and ensuring smooth system operations.
As a manufacturer, staying competitive means relying on equipment, recipes, and processes that ensure hygienic, efficient, and reproducible production while delivering products with the desired properties and functionality.
Our heat exchangers are designed to meet these demands. Tailored to your specific application, it offers a customized solution to ensure top performance and reliability.
We offer a diverse portfolio of tubular heat exchanger modules for a wide range of products, that require to be heated, cooled or pasteurized.
The most appropriate design can be selected depending on the required production capacity and the physical properties of the product. Custom designs can also be developed and installed to suit highly specialized applications. The GEA VARITUBE® heat exchangers meet aseptic standards and are available for liquid food, liquid dairy products, beverages and new food.
Our standardized utility heat exchangers are available in different construction shapes and predefined sizes, with the focus to meet a high variety of water or CIP heating applications.

Our GEA VARITUBE® range is used for many products that need to be heated, cooled or pasteurized.
GEA’s past fiscal year was one of significant growth and further profitability gains. In particular, the technology group substantially increased order intake, with all divisions contributing here. GEA also made progress in all Mission 30 strategic growth areas. In addition, GEA met key interim targets under its climate plan ahead of schedule. Major milestones in fiscal year 2025 were admission to the DAX index, the award of one of the largest contracts in the company’s history, and streamlining of the corporate structure.
Thanks to a new SmartParc manufacturing site, food processors in the U.K. are cutting their running costs and emissions. With GEA heating and cooling technology at its core, this collaborative production model demonstrates how innovation is accelerating the industry’s net-zero ambitions.
“Brewing eggs is like brewing beer.” It’s the kind of comparison that makes you smile – and then it clicks: Something complex suddenly feels simple. Through this personal film, set in the agricultural heartland of the U.S., we explore precision fermentation and the real-world work it takes to turn an idea into food.
