Technology highlights
The GEA ProMix ensures precise temperature control and product consistency through advanced cooling and vacuum technology. By combining accurate viscosity control with optional vacuum processing, it optimizes product structure, improves quality, and extends shelf life while supporting efficient and flexible production for a wide range of applications.
Efficient cooling with optimal process control
Optional CO₂ or N₂ cooling enables precise temperature control for optimal viscosity and product structure during forming. The system automatically adjusts cooling based on viscosity and temperature measurements. This improves shaping consistency, reduces cooling time, lowers gas consumption, and helps extend shelf life.
Air evacuation prior to forming, stuffing or emulsifying
The optional vacuum function improves curing and protein extraction while offering greater control over premix density. This results in more consistent product structure and helps deliver higher quality end products across a wide range of applications.
Additional equipment
The GEA ProMix system combines fast tempering, precise mixing, and automated product transfer into one efficient process. By integrating ColdSteam technology and Batch2Flow automation, it reduces processing time, preserves product quality, and ensures a consistent flow from mixing to forming, delivering reliable results and improved production efficiency.
The GEA ProMix - with ColdSteam technology
The GEA ProMix with ColdSteam enables fast tempering and mixing in one system using steam under vacuum. This allows rapid defrosting at low temperatures without damaging proteins. The integrated process reduces processing time, preserves product integrity, and ensures consistent results with high efficiency.
Finding the missing link between mixing and forming
The Batch2Flow system automates the transfer of prepared product to the former without loss of quality. By replacing manual handling, it prevents inconsistencies and ensures a reliable, continuous flow, helping maintain product integrity and delivering consistent forming results.

Specifications
Advanced technologyEfficient cooling with optimal process control
With optional liquid CO2 or liquid N2 cooling, the ProMix mixer is suitable for extended formed products. Cooling provides the correct viscosity and product crystallization for forming, which helps to maintain the product shape during processing. By measuring the motor torque load, the mixer detects the viscosity of the mix and, in combination with the temperature measurement, controls the exact cooling time for optimal forming consistency. The cryogen cooling system with Air Liquide nozzles is designed to optimize penetration of cooling gas into the mix, with potential savings in gas of up to 30% compared with conventional bottom injection, and up to 50% when compared with top injection. This special cooling system can also reduce cooling time by approximately 50%. Cooling can also reduce bacterial growth, and so help to extend the shelf life of the mixture.
Air evacuation prior to forming, stuffing or emulsifying
The optional vacuum function further increases versatility of the ProMix mixer. Vacuum improves curing and protein extraction and gives greater control over premix density. This can help to generate a higher quality end product.

Add-ons
Options for GEA ProMixThe GEA ProMix - with ColdSteam technology
A GEA ProMix system equipped with ColdSteam technology provides fast tempering, in minutes instead of hours, while maintaining product integrity. By introducing steam under vacuum conditions, the energy required for defrosting is transferred into the mix at low temperatures (approx 33 °C, instead of above 100°C). This "cold steam" method means it is possible to achieve superfast defrosting, without scalding or denaturing the proteins. The GEA ColdSteam technology effectively makes it possible to integrate 2 functionalities, tempering and mixing, into a single machine.
Finding the missing link between mixing and forming
Preparation is key when making formed products. But once you have made the perfect mix, you'll need to get it into the former without losing even a touch of that perfection. And as anyone in the industry will tell you, neither trollies nor cold stores provide a result you can rely on. We have devised an innovative solution, Batch2Flow: automation to guarantee a perfect result.
