The portfolio comprises different types of cleaning devices, such as orbital, rotating and static cleaners, to achieve the optimum cleaning result for different applications. Cleaning technology products can be found working successfully all over the world in numerous industries – from water treatment, chemical and brewing to food and pharmaceutical. Our sophisticated process components and services offer a comprehensive portfolio to support innovative engineering processes – wherever professional cleanliness is of the essence.
The cleaning of vessels within soiling classification I requires a liquid distribution which delivers large volumes of fluid simultaneously over the complete vessel. Static spray balls offer very little mechanical force so they rely on the liquid running down the vessel walls to create surface friction or to dissolve the residues.
Free rotating cleaners are characterized by their fast rotation around a single axis. This rotation is driven by the liquid flow which produces a range of small to medium-sized fast moving droplets to produce a mechanical force on the vessel walls.
GEA’s slow rotating cleaners use targeted flat or round jets to project the cleaning solution onto the vessel walls. These units operate at higher liquid pressures than traditional free rotating units but, because of their design, maintain slow rotation speeds. This enables these devices to impact greater cleaning forces onto the vessel walls than the free rotating units. As the rotation is kept under control, the spray jets have an increased dwell time, providing even more cleaning power. The slow rotating units from GEA are an efficient and cost-effective solution for stubborn and difficult to clean vessels.
The extensive range of orbital and index cleaners from GEA offers high impact cleaning solutions for the most difficult to clean applications. Both cleaner ranges benefit from GEA’s solid stream nozzle technology which optimizes spray jet projection and cleaning power onto the vessel walls.

The Free Rotating Cleaners Chemitorus and Torus ensure a professional and sustainable cleaning result especially in applications where low flow and low pressure are required. The ability to use them very flexible in numerous industries and in many areas usually cleaned by manual means they can replace static spray balls with a more dynamic wash.
The Free Rotating Cleaners Clipdisc and Sanidisc are designed for use in ultra hygienic applications where product purity and elimination of contamination problems are essential. The simple easily disassembled construction meets all the needs of hygienic design standards.
The In-line Sprayer IS 25 is very suitable for the cleaning of tanks with moving components, such as agitators. For pipe CIP using large amounts of solvents as cleaning medium, the use of inline sprayers reduces the costs for cleaning considerably.
Whether it’s a fad or the future, 100% vial traceability is becoming an increasingly important consideration in the pharmaceutical freeze drying industry. Keeping a close eye on developments is GEA. We’re investigating possible solutions and, what’s more, we have the experience, expertise and know-how to implement them.
There was a time when the phrases ‘non-alcoholic beer’ and ‘tastes good’ were seldom used together in the same sentence, particularly by consumers. But low-proof and alcohol-free beers have come a long way – many of them now refreshing drinks in their own right – thanks in no small part to technology from GEA.
At GEA, our commitment to engineering for a better world fuels our pursuit of innovative solutions that enhance patient care and safety. One of our most promising ventures in recent years is aseptic spray drying – a technology that promises to revolutionize pharmaceutical manufacturing.
