Vacuum Technology
Smart & Efficient. Identify bottlenecks & put the vacuum system in the spotlight, bringing productivity increase to success.
The GEA BatchStar® consists of a customized, multi-stage steam jet vacuum system based on a consultative and pre-tested vacuum system arrangement.
This method of holistic process view consulting, redefining of economically optimal point of operation, on-site support for process data collection and in case of existing system modification, we provide plant inspection.
In “Batch Processes” the optimized vacuum system can reduce the total batch time by taken the relevant process steps into the overall design. This method of holistic process view consulting, redefining of economically optimal point of operation, on-site inspection if necessary and final validation by test bench results is called the BatchStar®!
The GEA BatchStar® is designed for our customers’ needs in perspective of the required process conditions.

Milestones on the way to a greener future
The GEA BatchStar® systems are used to produce vacuum in Food, Pharma and Chemical processes in particular for:

Combined Steam Jet and LRVP Systems are based on proven jet pump technology and often used to create and maintain the vacuum.

Steam jet cooling systems are based on proven jet pump technology and often used to cool a liquid directly without any additional refrigerant by means of flashing into the vacuum.

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 new GEA Application and Technology Center (ATC) in Sarstedt, south of Hannover, is neither a showroom nor a substitute for a lab. It is a place for testing, data collection and early decisions. This is where it becomes clear whether a biological concept can become a robust industrial process. That step is bigger than it may seem.

Thermoforming has long played a central role in food packaging. Now it is facing a major shift. As regulations tighten, materials evolve and costs rise, form fill seal lines must do more than run reliably – they now shape how food stays fresh, affordable and recyclable. Take a look at the key thermoforming trends informing the food packaging and delivery landscape.
