Custom-built processing solutions for liquid foods
GEA understands that no two liquid food products are the same, and that every component and process line should be considered in the context of your final products. That’s why we design fully integrated process solutions, and energy- and resource-saving equipment, that will meet your product requirements today, and support your expectations and ambitions for tomorrow.
From first concept to full-scale operation, we can help you design, develop, validate, and optimize your processes, ensuring performance, reliability, and long-term efficiency.
Designed around your product
We don’t offer standard solutions, GEA systems are custom configured so you can manage challenging product properties, from high viscosity, salt and particle content, to temperature sensitivity.
Proven before you invest
De-risk your project by testing and validation at our test centers. Trial and tweak your recipes on GEA equipment and gain confidence before investing and scaling up to production.
Optimized for resource efficiency
GEA aims to build energy and water efficiency, heat recovery and waste reduction into every solution. We’ll always try to give you options for reducing carbon footprint and cutting operating costs.
Liquid food applications
Integrated liquid food processing equipment and technologies – from individual units to complete plant solutions
Manufacturing different types of liquid foods can present producers with multiple challenges. Any combination of complex liquid and powdered ingredients, high viscosity, varied particle sizes and temperature sensitivity mean custom-designing processes and equipment for each product.
Our end-to-end portfolio spans high shear mixers, homogenizers and pasteurization units, together with clever tech that can dramatically reduce energy and water use, recycle resources, and cut waste. We’ve also developed efficient clean-in-place (CIP) and recovery solutions to maximize safety, reduce downtime, and improve yields. From installing single or standalone process units to designing entire plants, our experts will sit with you to learn about your processes, products and goals. We can then work together to design and configure optimized systems that meet your needs today, support future scalability, and make sustainability a priority. Through our bespoke approach we customize each line to provide the optimum combination and configuration of modules to give you confidence in consistent, stable processing, so that you can create great quality, homogeneous products with a long shelf-life.
Test centers for liquid food processing – validate before investing
Our test centers play an important role in process development for all manners of liquid foods. Customers can run their own recipes on GEA equipment under real-world conditions, optimize process parameters and validate scale up, prior to investment. This hands-on approach helps you reduce risk, gives you confidence in process reliability, efficiency and product quality, and builds confidence in the final solution.
Processing expertise and tailored solutions for just about any liquid food
GEA expertise is founded on decades of process and engineering knowhow and industry partnerships. We combine all this knowledge to design equipment and components that are purpose-built for your products and production setup. We’ll work to address your key challenges, whether that’s viscosity, particle handling, hygiene or temperature control, and look at creating a seamless overall. Our systems are designed to give you the assurance of consistent quality and efficient, future-proof production.
As your trusted partner, GEA is here to support you from initial concept through testing and implementation to long-term operational success.
Resource-efficient processing solutions for liquid food products
Liquid food production typically requires the use of significant amounts of energy and water, but these processes do offer up opportunities for reducing resource consumption. We develop technologies that can reduce fresh water use and reuse process water, cut reliance on fossil fuels, and capture and reuse residual heat. Our energy-efficient heating and cooling technologies include refrigeration systems that use natural refrigerants, advanced heat pumps, and heat recovery solutions. Work with us at GEA and we’ll identify just where it might be possible for you to significantly reduce overall energy and resource use, cut waste, and support more sustainable liquid food manufacturing.

The breakthrough that changed spray drying
In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.
Więcej niż maszyna: klucz do poprawy wydajności zakładu
Wydajność maszyny nie przekłada się automatycznie na wydajność fabryki. Prawdziwa poprawa często zaczyna się od wyjścia poza ramy poszczególnych urządzeń i zrozumienia, w jaki sposób wzajemnie na siebie oddziałują procesy, systemy energetyczne i decyzje operacyjne. Jest to podejście kompleksowe, mające na celu odkrycie możliwości, które w przeciwnym razie mogłyby zostać przeoczone.
W jaki sposób zawór może wpływać na sposób produkcji żywności i napojów
Zazwyczaj w zakładach produkujących żywność i napoje zawory są uruchamiane za pomocą sprężonego powietrza. Tymczasem w GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology do sterowania zaworami wykorzystuje się wodę w zamkniętym obiegu sterowanym cyfrowo. W rezultacie otrzymujemy zawór, który można precyzyjnie utrzymać w odpowiednim położeniu i sterować nim z dużą dokładnością. Skutkuje to mniejszym zużyciem energii i większą kontrolą.
