The high performer - GEA two-stage screw packages.

GEA Grasso SP2
A GEA Grasso SP2 package is the efficient and flexible solution for high differential pressure operation. At the same time, the package – based on a common base frame, oil circuit and common control – is easier to install, operate and maintain, and it requires less space than two separate single-stage packages. Thanks to GEA’s state-of-the-art engineering even less than common compound solutions.
The unique design featuring two separate drivelines also offers significant redundancy and flexibility advantages over compound solutions. Individual speed regulation of the two drivelines ensures maximum efficiency also in varying operating conditions and load requirements. Additional flexibility and availability are provided by the possibility to switch off the low-pressure compression stage, for example when servicing the booster compressor or in case low-temperature refrigeration is temporarily not required but only A/C cooling which can supplied by the high-pressure compression stage.
The series includes 18 models (booster screw compressors, each available with several different high-pressure compressor combinations) covering a wide range of 118 to 2,100 kW refrigeration capacity (R717 | -40/+35°C | 3,600 rpm).

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.
