The meVap® is our brand name for all processes heated with mechanical vapor recompression. GEA meVap® provides a powerful, future‑ready solution for decarbonizing industrial processes.

Product family GEA meVap®
Across all four product areas, the unifying principle is the temperature increase generated by electrically driven mechanical fans. This higher temperature serves as an efficient energy source for downstream thermal process steps. The meVap® concept combines two strong components into one integrated solution:
GEA has been a pioneer in this field for decades and offers an extensive track record of successful installations. As one of Germany’s top 40 industrial companies, GEA provides cross‑industry expertise, solid financial strength, and long‑term reliability. Innovation is driven by in‑house R&D and the transfer of concepts across different application areas.
GEA takes a holistic approach to process engineering, focusing equally on plant performance, operational simplicity, and user‑friendliness. meVap® systems offer strong performance reserves, ensuring stable operation even under challenging conditions. Customers trust GEA not only for proven technology and process know‑how, but also for its strong global presence and comprehensive service network—today and in the future.
Mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) is an advanced energy recovery technique used in thermal separation plants like evaporators, crystallizers and distillation systems that drastically reduces the external energy input required for the process, resulting both in significantly improved energy efficiency and reduced operating costs.

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.
Grâce à un nouveau site de fabrication, le SmartParc, des transformateurs de produits alimentaires du Royaume-Uni diminuent leurs dépenses courantes et leurs émissions. S'appuyant sur la technologie de chauffage et de refroidissement de GEA, ce modèle de production collaboratif démontre comment l'innovation accélère les ambitions « zéro net » de l'industrie.
« Brasser des œufs, c'est comme brasser de la bière. » C'est le genre de comparaison qui fait sourire, puis qui fait tilt : Quelque chose qui semblait complexe devient soudain simple. Dans ce film personnel, qui se déroule dans le cœur agricole des États-Unis, nous explorons la fermentation de précision et le travail concret qu'il faut accomplir pour transformer une idée en nourriture.
