GEA’s LYOVAC® industrial-scale freeze dryers are built to customer specifications and are available with production areas of 1–60 m² and condenser capacities of more than 1000 kg.

Extending its range of LYOVAC™ Freeze Dryers, GEA now offers both integrated and standalone equipment for the production of small-scale batches and formulation or process development.

ALUS® Automatic Load & Unload Systems minimize the risk of operator/product contamination while loading and unloading a freeze dryer.

Da oltre 100 anni, GEA sviluppa tecnologie per l'allevamento bovino da latte: dalle prime mungitrici a secchio ai sistemi autonomi e digitalmente interconnessi. Queste innovazioni hanno trasformato radicalmente la gestione degli allevamenti, passando da attività che richiedevano molta manodopera a modelli produttivi orientati a una maggiore efficienza operativa, al benessere animale e all'ottimizzazione dei processi aziendali.
