At the world's leading trade fair Chillventa 2024 in Nuremberg, Germany, GEA presented the semi-hermetic screw compressor CompaX as part of the Grasso X package ideal for seasonal refrigeration applications and flexible capacity requirements.

The focus will be on the new PowerPak 1000 thermoformer for the packaging of meat and meat substitutes, poultry or cheese, which has been specially developed as an entry-level machine for the thermoforming segment.

This brings significant improvements in terms of integration, connectivity, data processing and safety. The new X Control lays the foundation for the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

At BrauBeviale 2023, GEA will present its project plans for developing a CO₂ recovery system for smaller breweries with a capacity of 50,000 hectoliters of sales beer per year.

GEA, a pioneer in brewing technology, is presenting a groundbreaking innovation for wort boiling at this year's BrauBeviale: The new GEA QBOIL process reduces energy consumption in this process step by 60% compared to conventional systems without energy recovery.

The new design of the system for high-quality fried foods – like meat, fish, vegetables, poultry and especially tempura – focuses on sensitive areas in the production process and sets new technology standards with its patented oil circulation and conditioning system.

GEA now also equips the aseptic double-seat valves of the Aseptomag range with lockout-tagout (LoTo) devices. The Group is thus expanding its range of safety devices for process plants with valve technology.

GEA has integrated predictive AI elements into its real-time monitoring solution for breweries to advance the sustainability of brewing processes.

GEA introduces the GEA Visitron Small-in-One filling block for production speeds of up to 10,000 containers per hour.

To facilitate the configuration of bioreactors – a key technology for the new food industry – GEA has developed a digital twin for virtual testing prior to construction.
