Single-Stage End-Suction Centrifugal Pumps for Advanced Applications
GEA Hilge MAXA CN with flange connection and IEC motor on base plate
The GEA Hilge MAXA range is made from deep-drawn, rolled stainless steel in AISI 316L (1.4404). Flexible mounting options are available, such as a close-coupled pump, a close-coupled pump with bearing bracket or a base plate pump version (with motors up to 160 kW). The GEA Hilge MAXA range employs closed impellers with optimized efficiency and NPSH. Flange or thread connections according to ANSI or DIN standards are available.
For some GEA Hilge MAXA pump sizes, an inducer for NPSH improvements is available as an option, also a channel impeller for pumping media with high solids content.
A wide range of shaft seal options is available to suit different media and applications. The mechanical seals used in the GEA Hilge MAXA range conform to DIN 24960. The single inboard seals maintain the optimum position in the liquid. This ensures efficient cleaning, lubrication and cooling.
The highly reliable GEA Hilge MAXA pumps are suitable for:

Resource-efficient fashion has been a long-sought ambition amid the fashion industry’s considerable contributions to global carbon emissions. The need to close the loop by recycling textile fibers into virgin-like materials is higher than ever but seemed like a distant dream until now: Circ, GEA’s American customer and pioneer in the field of textile recycling, might be rewriting the future of the fashion industry.
Alternative proteins are promising – yet still expensive to produce. The usual response is that scaling up will solve this issue. But what if the solution was really about getting better, not just bigger? From more efficient, high-yield processes to upcycling waste heat, engineers are reshaping how we grow food.
As anti-cancer drugs become more powerful and complex, GEA is redefining how to safely freeze-dry these life-saving treatments.
