Boost the Performance of Your Refrigeration Equipment: Upgrades / Modernization / Optimization

Nothing lasts forever, right? As equipment ages, it generally becomes less efficient and reliable. However, technology evolves rapidly, and we discover new, innovative ways to 'make things work better'. Increased performance, reliability and longevity can be achieved by upgrading and modernizing your existing industrial heating and cooling equipment.

A GEA compressor replacement gives new life and increased  efficiency to this existing screw compressor package by another  manufacturer, as illustrated by this before-and-after example.  A GEA Omni control panel retrofit is also part of  this equipment upgrade.

At GEA, we ‘engineer for a better world’ and, importantly, that concept is applied to existing equipment as well as new.

It is nearly always possible to identify a way to optimize, modernize or simply upgrade your aging equipment or process to deliver significant benefits including energy savings, improved reliability and reduced maintenance costs, to name just a few.

Often, the savings in terms of energy or plant reliability can be recovered quickly, meaning the initial investment provides immediate and long-term added value within a short payback period, and in most cases, extends the serviceable life of your equipment.

Quorn Foods upgrades to drive down energy cost

When Quorn Foods (UK) needed to replace a screw compressor on one of its refrigeration packages, GEA helped them to do just that — on time and within budget. By reusing the existing skid and motor, Quorn Foods cost-effectively upgraded the equipment and increased its efficiency. In addition, a GEA Omni control panel was also installed, providing this leading producer of new, meat-free products with a modern, powerful tool to optimize sysem performance.

The cost-effective solution, re-using the existing skid and motor, reduced the overall cost of the project to the business. We have much more reliability for our production and, with GEA Omni, an unbelievable amount of control. The solution has given us a payback period of less than three years due to a 29% reduction in electricity usage and improved uptime.
