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.
