GEA BluAstrum
GEA BluAstrum provides an econonimcal entry into the GEA Blu chiller series, without compromises regarding the technological concept. CE certified.
This chiller series is especially characterized by minimal maintenance requirements and an extremely slim model design that fits through standard door-sizes. The little dynamic movement of the chiller components contributes to low maintenance requirements. In addition, the width of only 1.0 to 1.2 m and the resulting small footprint allows simple transport as well as relocation of the chiller and installation in cramped machine rooms.
