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

Approfondimenti GEA
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.
Come SmartParc sta riscrivendo le regole della produzione alimentare
Grazie al nuovo sito produttivo SmartParc, le aziende di trasformazione alimentare del Regno Unito stanno riducendo i costi operativi e le emissioni. Basato sulla tecnologia di riscaldamento e raffreddamento GEA, questo modello di produzione collaborativo dimostra come l'innovazione stia accelerando le ambizioni di azzeramento delle emissioni nette del settore.
Il laboratorio di scienze alimentari
"Fare le uova come la birra". Un paragone che prima fa sorridere e poi riflettere: in effetti è il modo più semplice per spiegare qualcosa di molto complesso. Attraverso questo breve filmato girato nel cuore agricolo degli Stati Uniti, scopriamo la fermentazione di precisione e il lavoro concreto necessario per trasformare un'idea in cibo.
