ReFlow water system for homogenizers
The ReFlow recirculates the plant process water used by high pressure homogenizers to cool and lubricate plungers making the operation of GEA machines environmentally more sustainable.
GEA ReFlow water system is designed and built to recirculate process water that is cooling and lubricating high pressure homogenizer’s pumping plungers. This is reducing the amounted of treated process water or potable city water used and nearly eliminates the need for it. The unit can operate independently with its own control system and exchange signals with the homogenizer and the process in which homogenizer is part of; or in a fully integrated automation system by incorporating the provided functional description into the control system of the process. It is possible to extend and validate the ReFlow system to aseptic homogenizers due to treated water being inherently sterile.
Key features:
Sustainable
- Water flows back into the system for filtration instead of being wasted
- More than 95% reduction in use of water or in steam consumption for all homogenizers
Safe and efficient
- Robust ceramic membrane to remove all bacteria and nearly all virus, proteins and enzymes
- Conductivity sensor to detect any kind of leaks into the plungers cooling water
- Flow meter to set required plunger cooling flow
- Heat exchanger to remove the heat from plungers and circulation pump
Cleaning and sanitizing possible
- Backflushing possible
- Clean In Place, Sanitization (100°), Sterilization In Place (125°)
Compact and Flexible

GEA reports profitable growth for 2025 and expects accelerated revenue growth
GEA’s past fiscal year was one of significant growth and further profitability gains. In particular, the technology group substantially increased order intake, with all divisions contributing here. GEA also made progress in all Mission 30 strategic growth areas. In addition, GEA met key interim targets under its climate plan ahead of schedule. Major milestones in fiscal year 2025 were admission to the DAX index, the award of one of the largest contracts in the company’s history, and streamlining of the corporate structure.
SmartParc reescribe las reglas de la producción alimentaria
Gracias a un nuevo centro de fabricación SmartParc, los procesadores de alimentación del Reino Unido están reduciendo sus costes de funcionamiento y sus emisiones. Con la tecnología de calefacción y refrigeración de GEA en su núcleo, este modelo de producción colaborativa demuestra cómo la innovación está acelerando las ambiciones de cero emisiones netas de la industria.
El patio de recreo de la ciencia alimentaria
"Elaborar huevos es como elaborar cerveza". Es el tipo de comparación que te hace sonreír, y te das cuenta: De repente, algo complejo parece sencillo. Con esta película personal, ambientada en el corazón agrícola de EE.UU., exploramos la fermentación de precisión y el trabajo real que supone convertir una idea en alimentos.
