Inadequate maintenance can lead to safety risks, lower product quality, costly repairs, and reduced equipment life. GEA offers a thorough inspection and tailored service report to help you proactively maintain uptime, quality, and longevity.
Common problems caused by incorrect maintenance planning
The most common problems with a spray dryer that has not followed maintenance recommendations are:
- Increased risk of safety hazards, compromising personnel safety
- Lower product quality due to inconsistent particle size or moisture
- Undetected issues causing unplanned downtime and production delays
- High unforeseen maintenance costs due to expensive repairs
- Reduced equipment lifespan from excessive wear and tear
- Accumulation of deposits leading to cross contamination and bacteria growth
These problems carry a high risk of affecting critical KPIs such as uptime, asset lifespan and product quality. Therefore, it is essential to conduct a thorough inspection of your spray drying plant at least once a year to prevent minor issues from becoming major ones.

GEA-inzichten

De doorbraak die het sproeidrogen veranderde
In 1976 gingen de ingenieurs van NIRO een concurrentie-uitdaging aan door de mogelijkheden van sproeidrogen opnieuw te bekijken. Hun idee leidde tot de meertraps droger MSD. Vijftig jaar later zorgt datzelfde basisprincipe ervoor dat vloeistoffen worden omgezet in poeders die wereldwijd worden gebruikt in essentiële voedingsproducten en belangrijke geneesmiddelen. MSD is het resultaat van tientallen jaren technische expertise, klantinzicht en voortdurende ontwikkeling, en is een verhaal van innovatie met blijvende impact.

Verder dan de machine: betere prestaties van de installatie ontsluiten
Een efficiënte machine betekent niet automatisch een efficiënte fabriek. Echte verbetering begint vaak met verder kijken dan de afzonderlijke apparatuur en met inzicht in hoe processen, energiesystemen en operationele beslissingen elkaar beïnvloeden. Het is een holistische benadering die bedoeld is om kansen te ontdekken die anders wellicht over het hoofd gezien zouden worden.

Hoe een klep de manier waarop eten en drinken worden gemaakt opnieuw vormgeeft
De kleppen in voedingsmiddelen- en drankinstallaties worden doorgaans met perslucht bediend. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology stuurt kleppen daarentegen aan met water, in een gesloten, digitaal geregeld circuit. Het resultaat is een klep die precies op zijn plaats kan worden gehouden en in nauwkeurig afgestemde stappen kan worden aangestuurd. Dit leidt tot een lager energieverbruik en meer controle.
