Ejector Test facilities at Karlsruhe R & D Center
Test facilities for steam, liquid and gas jet pumps are essential for development and quality control.
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.
GEA has several test benches for different types of jet pumps. Water, compressed air or steam are available motive media. These facilities are used for quality and manufacturing control as well as for the development of new and improved jet pumps.
Only very few companies can dispose of such test facilities including a test bench for single-stage and multi-stage steam jet vacuum pumps. Here ejectors with suction pressures from atmosphere down to 0.1 mbar can be tested.
For our customers the results assure the function of the ejectors according to the specification and they are a good starting point to solve problems during start-up and operation.
More than 500 jet pumps are tested per year. The archive of more than 25,000 test reports is the base for precise and reliable design of effective ejectors.

Beyond the firewall: Securing what matters at GEA
Companies like GEA process and store large amounts of sensitive data. However, security incidents, from ransomware attacks to physical intrusions and industrial espionage, are ever-expanding. GEA’s effective protection of its business partners’ data – as well as its own proprietary information – is evolving into a competitive advantage. We spoke with Iskro Mollov, GEA’s Chief Information Security Officer, about what it takes to protect a global business in a volatile world.
Smart, stylish, circular: polycotton recycling with Circ
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.
New food tipping point
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.
