Vacuum technology is used extensively in the chemical, pharmaceutical, food and oil refining industries and also to remove dissolved gases from water and other liquids. Where industrial processes use the vapor from the product instead of steam, GEA provides completely closed systems that are both ecologically and economically efficient.

Combined Steam Jet and LRVP Systems are based on proven jet pump technology and often used to create and maintain the vacuum.
Dry condensing or ice condensing vacuum systems use cryogenically driven vacuum technology to remove the process vapor used for edible oil deodorization.
With state-of-the-art pilot plants and test benches our R & D Center is optimally equipped for testing in the fields of jet pumps and vacuum systems.
The basic principle of jet pumps consists in the liquid or gas jet being emitted by a nozzle at high speed entraining and accelerating the surrounding liquid, gas or solid matter.
Climate change and a growing world population put increased pressure on the energy-intensive food industry to feed more people without further impacting the planet. George Shepherd, GEA’s Global Technical Sustainability Manager, explains how GEA uses its engineering know-how to help processors produce more sustainably yet increase productivity.
The world's population is growing and with it demand for milk. Dairy is an essential component of many global diets. However, its production can be resource-intensive and impact the environment. GEA’s Christian Müller, Senior Director Sustainability Farm Technologies, sheds light on how technological innovations powered by GEA make milk production more efficient and profitable.
Every safe beverage and bite of food is a victory against invisible microbial threats – a battle shaped by a century of hygienic process design. With more than 100 years of engineering and hygienic design know-how, GEA sets the industry standard for processing equipment that protects food and saves lives.
