ViwateQ® treatment
The ability to perform this finishing in-house reduces costs and manufacturing time, as well as improving the environmental footprint. The process is required in particular by food, pet food, and pharmaceutical customers who need their equipment surfaces to be highly polished and hygienic.
ViwateQ® treatment – hygienic surface finish
We can also offer GEA Scan-Vibro equipment finished using the ViwateQ® finishing technology. ViwateQ® is an innovative surface treatment that creates highly polished, hygienic surfaces inside and out on stainless steel processing equipment. The treatment is chemical-free and has zero impact on the environment.
ViwateQ® surface treatment can be of particular value for food, pet food, and pharmaceutical customers who need their equipment surfaces to be highly polished and hygienic. ViwateQ® removes all unwanted contaminants from the surface of stainless steel - including the burned weld area – leaving it extremely smooth. The surface treatment minimizes the adhesion of dirt and bacteria, considerably reducing the risk of contamination as well as enabling quicker and more effective cleaning. The resulting polished surface can also make it easier to handle naturally sticky products.

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.
