The GEA Grasso SP1 HP (high-pressure) design is based on the successful, classic GEA Grasso SP1 line. Specific design elements and features relevant for cooling with CO2 or when operating as a heat pump with NH3 makes the SP1 HP series a most efficient and reliable choice for any such applications.
For over a decade GEA screw compressor packages are used for countless CO2 refrigeration and NH3 heat pump projects. Plentiful experience that helped transforming previously customized units into a new standard high-pressure model range.
The series provides 20 models (compressor frame size) for NH3 heat pumps and 17 models (compressor frame size) for CO2 applications.

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.
