Pilot scale high shear mixing
GEA MIXING FORMULA® High Shear Test Mixers
Developing new products and processes can be an expensive and labor-intensive investment for many customers. GEA understands this, and that is why we offer our customers the opportunity to trial their products before scaling up production.
Are you looking to scale-up a new manufacturing process?
Our test mixers range from small to medium scale batches and a wide range of mixing capacities. The test mixers can simulate the operating behavior of full-scale production and can be adapted to run according to your required specifications.
Test before you buy!
Customers can choose to test mixing equipment and solutions at GEA test facilities

Reality check for biotech
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.
Shifts in food packaging: 4 trends
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.
