GEA Procomac

GEA Procomac started its activity manufacturing rinsers and conveyors and then over a period of a few years, GEA Procomac developed its technology and expanded its scope of supply:

• 1990 GEA Procomac started to supply complete lines to meet all bottling needs all over the world.
• 1996 GEA Procomac established an Aseptic Division up to control GEA Procomac's developing technology in the aseptic filling. Note that the first aseptic GEA Procomac line was installed in 1993, and since then GEA Procomac has offered numerous new technologies that have been adopted by the most important bottling companies in the world.
• 2007 GEA Procomac was acquired by the GEA Group. By combining the filling, handling and conveying technologies of GEA Procomac with GEA's processing and engineering expertise the turnkey capability for complete beverage plants are unparalleled.

The key to the continued growth of GEA Procomac can be found in the company's attention to the needs of the client.

GEA Filtration

The product knowledge we gained by this experience is indicated by the following list of products suitable for processing on a GEA Filtration membrane filtration system. These systems include microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and reverse osmosis with either spiral-wound, stainless steel, ceramic, tubular, or plate-and-frame configurations. Typical beverage membrane filtration applications include clarification and pre-concentration of fruit and vegetable juices; process water reclamation; de-alcoholization of beer and wine; malt beverage clarification/de-colorization; soy concentration and clarification; and dextrose - maltodextrin - and fructose clarification.

GEA Evaporation Technologies

Evaporation is an operation used to remove a liquid from a solution, suspension, or emulsion by boiling off some of the liquid. It is thus a thermal separation, or thermal concentration, process. We define the evaporation process as one that starts with a liquid product and ends up with a more concentrated, but still liquid and still pump-able concentrate as the main product from the process. In most cases it is essential that the product is subject to minimal thermal degradation during the evaporation process, requiring that temperature and time exposure must be minimized. This and other requirements brought on by the physical characteristics of the processed product have resulted in the development of a large range of different evaporator types. Additional demands for energy efficiency and minimized environmental impact have driven development toward very innovative plant configurations and equipment design. GEA Process Engineering Inc. have made major contributions to the development of such concepts, and we are world leaders in many essential areas of this specialized technology. Our technology is supported by several test and development facilities, where the technology is being continually refined, improved, and applied to new products.
