Machine designed to immerse product in water in order to cool it.
The RF is composed of a conveying belt which brings product inside a water tank that contains cool water with fixed temperature.
From a structural perspective, the conveying belt is made with plastic material and it features upturned sides to contain the product, while the top panel is in stainless steel. The insulated tanks containing water is inclined in one point to allow water draining.
The cooling system utilizes water that is cooled thanks to an external heat exchanger glycolyzed water/water, which is controlled through a modulating valve managed via PLC. The cooling water is recycled through a pump that distributes it on the whole surface with a system of adjustable sprays, guaranteeing a uniform cooling of the product. The cooling water level is maintained via PLC.
In order to regulate product cooling, it is possible to adjust: cooling time, water temperature, remixing by increasing or decreasing it.
The opening of the cooler happens through an automatic multilayer system which allows to distance the belt from the panel, giving high accessibility for washing. Moreover, the machine is in stainless steel, to ease the washing process and it features a rinsing ramp for the belt to reduce washing time. The entire structure is designed to avoid any product stagnation.

What if your favorite chocolate didn’t require cocoa beans and your coffee was locally produced? As climate disruption, price hikes and ethical concerns hit two of our most beloved indulgences, scientists are reimagining how we produce them – using microbes, not monocultures. The goal: preserve the flavor and properties of coffee and chocolate while minimizing carbon emissions and improving food resilience.
Ports now compete not just on logistics, but on sustainability. At Greece’s Piraeus port, an advanced processing and recovery facility recycles ship waste oil into fuel. Equipped with GEA’s high-performance centrifuges, it sets a new benchmark for state-of-the-art, environmentally responsible port operations.
The 2022 CO2 shortage forced breweries to review their dependency on global supply chains. Many were forced to close, unable to carbonate their products. At its breweries in Germany, OeTTINGER GETRÄNKE is turning its own CO2 into a powerful lever for independence and sustainability – with the help of CO2 recovery technology from GEA.
