GEA İçgörüleri
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.
Makineden fazlası: Daha iyi bir tesis performansının kilidini açar
Verimli bir makine, otomatik olarak verimli bir fabrika anlamına gelmez. Gerçek iyileştirme, genellikle münferit ekipmanların ötesine bakıp proseslerin, enerji sistemlerinin ve işletme kararlarının birbirlerini nasıl etkilediğini anlamakla başlar. Bu, normalde gözden kaçırılabilecek fırsatları ortaya çıkarmak üzere tasarlanmış bütünsel bir yaklaşımdır.
Bir vana, yiyecek ve içeceklerin üretilme yöntemini nasıl yeniden şekillendiriyor?
Yiyecek ve içecek tesislerinde, vanalar genellikle tazyikli hava kullanılarak çalıştırılır. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology, kapalı ve dijital olarak kontrol edilen bir devre içinde vanaları su yardımıyla hareket ettirir. Sonuç, tam olarak yerinde tutulabilen ve hassas ayarlanan adımlarla yönlendirilebilen bir vanadır. Bu, daha az enerji kullanımı ve daha fazla kontrol sağlar.
Improve emulsion quality with vacuum bowl cutting
The GEA CutMaster V Gen 3 is a vacuum-sealed bowl cutter designed to cut, mix and emulsify a wide range of foods while removing air from the process. Processing under vacuum supports protein extraction, helps reduce jelly deposits, and can improve yield and shelf life.

Advanced technology
TopCut VSH knife system
The unique TopCut VSH (Versatile – Safe - Hygienic) knife system is designed to virtually eliminate vibration, and enable cutting speeds of up to 162 m/s. The new knife head also augments product flow to reduce batch times.
Versatile: A single set of knife discs and components is used for all possible knife head configurations. This means that you don’t need to change the number of knife discs when switching from one to two tracks, or vice versa. And with the option of different knife types for various cutting applications, the TopCut VSH Knife system is a true multi-tasker.
Safe: Fewer knife discs can also mean better operational safety, as there's less weight on the shaft, which reduces the rotational mass. The knife discs are clearly marked to avoid incorrect installation, which is a further aid to safety, and the knives are all interchangeable. Furthermore, the magnetic features of the knife discs ensure a safe handling for the operators.
Hygienic: The knife holder is integrated into the knife disc of the GEA TopCut VSH, which makes thorough cleaning easier, and further reduces the possibility of incorrect assembly.
Optimal cutting area
The combination of a geometrical bowl design and large inlet area makes it possible to achieve a filling level of up to 95%, so you can maximize production during each batch. The large inlet area also means faster product infeed into the cutting area, and accommodates bigger product pieces. The 360° cutting area also helps to achieve optimum emulsification results. By using the so called 'baffle plate', the cutting area can be set up from wide to small to influence the throughput and determine the degree of fineness.
PerformancePlus condition monitoring
An optional extra, GEA’s new PerformancePlus predictive and preventative maintenance system uses advanced online condition monitoring to measure machine performance. With this information, food processors can plan maintenance schedules, reduce costs, improve machine uptime and maximize productivity.
- Preventive and predictive alarms
- Status reports for optimal maintenance planning
- Incl. vibration monitoring
- Remote service and failure analysis
