GEA meVap®
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:
- Mechanical vapor recompression technology
- Process units such as evaporation, distillation, and crystallization
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.

Why is MVR technology the game changer for efficient thermal separation?
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.

Approfondimenti GEA
La biotecnologia a confronto con la realtà
Il nuovo Application and Technology Center (ATC) di GEA a Sarstedt, a sud di Hannover, non è né uno showroom né un laboratorio. È un luogo dedicato a test, raccolta dati e decisioni preliminari. È qui che si capisce se un concetto biologico può diventare un processo industriale solido. Si tratta di un passo più importante di quanto possa sembrare.
Cambiamenti nel settore del confezionamento alimentare: 4 tendenze
La termoformatura riveste da tempo un ruolo centrale nel settore del confezionamento alimentare. Ora si trova di fronte a un cambiamento radicale. Con l'inasprirsi delle normative, l'evoluzione dei materiali e l'aumento dei costi, le linee di formatura, riempimento e sigillatura non devono solo funzionare in modo affidabile: oggi hanno un ruolo fondamentale nel garantire che gli alimenti rimangano freschi, convenienti e riciclabili. Ecco le principali tendenze nella termoformatura che stanno plasmando il confezionamento e la consegna di prodotti alimentari.
