Efficient low-shear liquid mixing for beverages
GEA Liquid Jet Mixing System
The GEA Liquid Jet Mixing System is perfect for efficient mixing of low-viscosity liquids in the beverage industry. It ensures consistent product quality, improved homogeneity, and energy savings. With easy installation and reliable, wear-free operations, it supports natural mixing processes and is ideal for tanks with challenging dimensions.
Increased consistency and efficiency when mixing, cooling and fermenting beer and alcoholic beverages
- Constantly high product quality with a uniform flavor profile
- Reduced risk of settlement of suspended solids in the tank cone
- Increased compound homogeneity and temperature uniformity in the product
- No thermal or material stratification in tank
- Higher consistency in fermentation achievable
- Shorter cooling times achievable in tanks with jacket cooling or external cooling
- Lower energy input, compared to rotating mixing systems
- More precise production planning possible due to uniform process times

Features
Jet mixers are simple and reliable in operation
- No moving parts, free from wear and fully cleanable.
Low-shear jet mixing
- Perfectly supports the upward flow and natural mixing process in vertical, cylindrical fermenters.
- Minimum mechanical stress applied to the compound.
- Especially suitable for tanks with unfavorable filling height-to-diameter ratio.
Easy installation
- Completely pre-assembled modules, easy to retrofit.
- Installation either from the bottom in the tank outlet or laterally.
- Lance can be segmented by means of special GEA Twin Seal pipe unions.
Low energy input
- The liquid jet to be applied by a centrifugal pump represents only about 25 % of the total liquid mixture generated, while the jet mixer itself generates about 75 % of it in the tank.
Applications
The GEA Liquid Jet Mixing System has already successfully proven its performance in the following applications.

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.
Fruit storage at Betko: Control from peak harvest to global delivery
From the orchards of the Cape to store shelves across 40 countries, the South African packhouse Betko has built a business on freshness, timing and reliability. With GEA’s controlled atmosphere refrigeration technology, the company can now store apples and pears for up to 14 months and cut energy consumption by 20%, with a partnership of more than 30 years at the heart of it all.
