Tunnel Freezers
GEA HVF-series Impingement Freezers
New air-jet technology minimizes dehydration loss while speeding impingement freezing
Enhanced impingement freezing
The new GEA HVF-series freezer uses uniquely designed high-velocity air-jets to quickly reduce the outer-layer temperature of food. These air-jets break the insulating boundary layer, allowing the surface to freeze very quickly compared to a conventional freezer, minimizing dehydration loss.
The GEA HVF-series freezer minimizes cellular damage, improves yield and increases shelf life to enhance food quality.
Lower energy consumption
GEA HVF-series air-jets minimize the air pressure drop across the system, requiring less fan power.
GEA HVF-series are available with our Reduced Volume System (RVS) option seamlessly integrated into the freezer. This technology improves the refrigerant distribution in the evaporators resulting in lower energy consumption from the refrigerating system.
Unique and proven hygienically engineered design
With a fully stainless steel-welded enclosure, floor and structure and ample access to all components, the GEA HVF-series design is proven as the most hygienic on the market today. It allows easy, effective cleaning year after year, satisfying the highest food safety requirements.
Modular design
The GEA HVF-series freezer is available with two parallel belts. Each belt operates independently from the other to flexibly provide in-line freezing with adjustable belt speed and two-direction conveying.
The GEA HVF standard length modules are fully pre-assembled in our factory prior to shipping. This pre-assembly ensures high quality manufacturing and short on-site installation.
Furthermore, the modular design accepts additional modules to increase capacity.

Alcohol-free beer: They want it all – they want less
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.
