What we do
Our end-to-end solutions have been designed to meet your exact needs. Have a look at some of our offerings below and see how we can help you.
CFD for accurate and efficient product design
Make spray drying plant-based proteins a breeze using Virtual Spray Dryer Testing. Based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD), GEA’s Virtual Spray Dryer Testing solution simulates the performance of the spray drying process with all its complexities. Our solution also provides deep process insights that can be used to make fast, reliable decisions, and we can help you make the most informed choice when it comes to a new investment or equipment upgrade.
Decanters for plant proteins
When it comes to protein extraction and purification, centrifugal decanters might be at the heart of every wet process line – but it is the complete process setup that brings out the best in them. Only the combination of extensive process line expertise with unique decanter features, e.g. Varipond P, make for top yields, high purity proteins, and valuable by-product recovery. In addition, clever recycling of process water minimizes fresh water consumption.
Test facilities for starch and proteins
Ready to work on a new product but looking for a tried and tested process before investing? With access to our test centers in Germany, the US and Denmark – the latter being the largest of its kind – work alongside our process experts to test your product under real-life conditions. This will allow you to select and tailor the best technologies for your needs so you can optimize every part of your production process. And be confident in your ability to achieve the required quality standards and powder characteristics you desire.
