EA REFRIGERATION TECHNOLOGIES

EA FARM TECHNOLOGIES Dear Readers,

All of us depend on food, water andenergy to survive – they are inextricably

linked together to form a triangle of

essential human requirements. Water

and energy are also needed to produce

and process food, while water plays an

important role in creating energy.

The GEA Group has a wide portfolio of

innovative engineering solutions for all

sides of this triangle. In this issue we

turn the spotlight on food. Our main

feature focuses on the challengesfacing different parts of the world in

feeding their respective populations.

It also looks at the link between food

and health. GEA companies have a long

history of developing technology that

enables food producers to get the best

out of the resources available.

In the field of healthcare, our expertise

in freeze drying means that essential

vaccines can be delivered in parts of the

developing world that are hampered by a

lack of refrigeration.

Of course, none of us would be here if

we didn’t have blood pumping through

our veins. Blood is another of life’s

essentials where GEA Group is making

a difference. You can read about howour technology is being used to process

blood into its various components for

use in life-saving surgery.

One industry with which you might

not normally associate us is cosmetics.

But they too depend on engineering

expertise to produce the right

quality and texture. Our Question

and Answer feature with a makeup

artist provides a fascinating insight

into this glamorous area.As major players in refrigeration,

heat exchange, dairy and brewing we

were out in force recently at three major

trade shows – Chillventa, Brau Beviale

and EuroTier – where we exhibited a

range of new products.

Finally, innovation is a constant for us

and in this issue we highlight how our

segment GEA Process Engineering has

found the secret of making instant coffee

taste just like the real thing.

specically or processing sugar rom cane and

beets. For example, the plate evaporator EVAPplus

allows careul treatment o the sugar solutionand saves energy at the same time. The Free Flow

plate heat exchanger rom GEA PHE Systems can

be used to heat or to cool down, or example, mixed

juice or molasses rom cane sugar mills. The

company manuactures and supplies a ull range o

leading-edge heat exchange and cooling equipment

to the sugar and ethanol industries. In Brazil the

segment is known or innovative cooling towers, heat

exchangers and evaporators that ensure the energy-

ecient production o sugar and bioethanol.

A number o GEA Process Engineering companies

are involved in these industries. GEA Barr-Rosin has

extensive experience in drying and cooling beet andcane sugars, as well as other sugars and sweeteners.

Its portolio includes rotary dryers, combined rotary

dryers/coolers, two-stage dryers and coolers and

fuidized bed coolers. GEA Liquid Processing provides

systems or dissolving sugar into syrup or making

beverages. Raw sugar juice contains impurities

that have to be removed beore the evaporation

and crystallization steps. Membrane ltration

technology rom GEA Filtration claries the raw

juice at low temperature, making it a cost-eective

solution. Finally, GEA Wiegand evaporation plants

are used to concentrate the sugar solution ready

or crystallization.

GEA And kvAss

As a result o the increasing demand or kvass,

GEA Process Engineering Russia began working

with Moscow-based producer Ros, at the start

o 2007, to develop a new production plant.

GEA Process Engineering Russia’s engineering

expertise, combined with a thorough knowledge o

the customer’s processes and tradition, ensured the

project’s success. The new plant, commissioned

in 2009, includes equipment manuactured and

supplied by GEA Westalia Separator Group,GEA Ecofex and GEA Diessel. It maintains the

traditional methods or producing ermented

kvass, but has updated them – reducing

energy consumption and meeting the highest

hygiene standards.

The GEA engineers and the Ros technical

experts also succeeded in signicantly

reducing the kvass production cycle by

shortening the dierent stages while

maintaining optimum product quality.

The highly fexible process they

developed enables Ros to respond

rapidly to changes in demand orwhat is largely a seasonal product.

GEA Westalia Separator Group has

developed sel-cleaning clariers

or the continuous production o

kvass. These remove unwanted

solids rom the product – or

example, residual yeast.

Food TECHnoloGY EXPERTISE

Supplying the world with nutritious ood now and in

uture is a major challenge and GEA has a wide-

ranging ood and beverage portolio that is helping the

industry to meet it.

The company specializes in equipment and processes

to help manuacturers improve the quality and

prolong the shel lie o their products. GEA Group’s

cutting-edge technology can break down oods into

dierent orms. This enables ood companies to

provide novel products that make the most out o

available resources.

One o the most versatile oods is milk. The at is used

to make cream and butter, the protein and at can be

made into cheese, and the whey rom cheese-making

is an important ood industry ingredient. Milk is

available in various liquid orms or it can be turned

into powder – an ingredient in various oods, including

baby ormula.

To gain the raw material or the urther processing o

dairy products GEA Farm Technologies, a world leader

in technical innovations, integrated product solutions

and animal hygiene products, oers technologies and

products or the whole milk production process.

Tomatoes are another example o how ood can beused in various orms. They can be processed as juice,

concentrate, ketchup, peeled and canned (whole or

chopped) and powdered. Tomato powder is added to a

variety o dishes. It can also be reconstituted into a

paste, the advantage being that powder has a longer

shel lie than pre-manuactured tomato paste.

GEA Niro, part o GEA Process Engineering, is the

world’s largest supplier o tomato dryers. The dryers

oer the advantage o producing tomato powder

without the need or additives. GEA Niro’s extensive

drying expertise, which can be applied to a wide range

o oods, includes reeze drying. This involves drying

already deep rozen products in a vacuum so that theice is vaporized.

The advantages o reeze drying are that products

retain their shape, taste and nutritional content.

Also they are light and easy to transport, have a long

shel lie and don’t need to be stored in a rerigerator.

Freeze drying can be applied to ruit, vegetables, meat,

seaood, prepared meals and beverages.

Another GEA Process Engineering company, GEA TDS

supplies complete process lines which are used

to make many well-known oodstus, including

tomato ketchup, mayonnaise, soups, ice cream

and bakery products.

GEA Rerigeration Technologies designs, engineers,

installs and maintains innovative components

and technological solutions or customers

using rerigeration as an essential part o their

primary process.

The segment has more than 100 years’ experience in

providing innovative reezing and chilling solutions

throughout the ood industry.

For example, its installations on fshing trawlers

enable fsh to be preserved resh rom the sea. As

part o a major reurbishment, the GEA Rerigeration

Technologies company GEA Grasso International

designed and supplied a new rerigeration plant

and equipment which has increased the production

capacity o the fshing trawler Jupiter by almost 250

per cent. The vessel is used to catch and reeze horse

mackerel o the Namibian coast. Horse mackerel is an

important source o fsh or West Aricans. Freezing and

rerigeration are essential to preserve fsh which would

not otherwise remain resh or long in the Arican heat.

GEA Heat Exchangers manuactures and supplies

a wide range o heat exchange models that are an

essential part o the processing, storage, distribution

and retailing o ood and beverages. The big challenge

in cooling and storing resh oods is preserving

their moisture content. For example, i carrots lose

just ten per cent o their moisture, their quality and

value reduce signifcantly. Carrots are harvested at

temperatures o 15-20°C then cooled down to 1°C

at a relative humidity o 96 to 98 per cent or up to

seven months. This is made possible by innovations

such as the patented GEA Küba AirGuideSystem, which

provides optimal air circulation. Also GEA Küba’s CAL®

rerigerant distributor and HFE® tube fn system oer

large cooling areas and an even rosting o the heat

exchangers fns.

Companies in the GEA Mechanical Equipment segment

supply homogenizers, valves, pumps, separators and

decanters to the dairy, beverage and ood sectors.

Separators and decanters rom GEA Westalia

Separator Group have numerous applications.

Increasingly they are being used to make instant teas.

Green tea in particular is growing in popularity among

health-conscious consumers who are attracted by its

anti-oxidant properties. GEA Westalia Separator Group

has developed technology that results in premium

quality tea extracts. The instant tea powder produces

a clear drink when mixed with water.

there are ew thingsthat all hUMan beingsshare – bUt blood is oneo theM. everyone has itand withoUt it we die.bUt what is it? what doesit do? and why is it thebasis o a global indUstry?



GENERATE MAGAZINE ISSUE 12 25GENERATE MAGAZINE ISSUE 12 25

irst some acts. The average adult bodycontains around ve liters o blood, whichaccounts or around eight per cent o

body weight. Whole blood is a suspension ocells in a liquid called blood plasma. Plasmaaccounts or 55 per cent o the volume oblood and is itsel 91 per cent water, inwhich are dissolved various proteins anda whole host o essential trace elementsrom hormones and neurotransmitters toamino acids and vitamins. Plasma circulatesnutrients around the body and removes wasteproducts such as carbon dioxide.

The other 45 per cent o blood volumeconsists overwhelmingly o red blood cells,together with a small proportion o whiteblood cells and platelets. These are allproduced in the body’s bone marrow. Redblood cells, which give human blood itscolor, distribute oxygen and nutrients aroundthe body. White blood cells are part o theimmune system and platelets are responsibleor blood clotting.

Transfusion

Blood keeps people alive: and even beore thedevelopment o scientic medicine, doctorsknew that it was vital. The practice o blood-letting – deliberately cutting the patient toallow a quantity o blood to fow out – wasone o the commonest medical proceduresrom the ancient world to the 19th centuryand was used to treat virtually any disease.

The rst successul transusion ohuman blood was carried out by a Britishobstetrician in 1818, but the door tosae transusion was only opened in1901 when the Austrian Karl Landsteinerdiscovered human blood groups. Until thatpoint the possibility o incompatibility wasnot understood.

While blood can keep people alive,incompatible – or worse, contaminated –

blood can kill.

Transusion techniques using blood that hadpreviously been donated, cooled and stored,were pioneered during World War I, and therst national system o blood banks wasestablished in the Soviet Union in the 1930s.

Today, worldwide, donors give around 45million liters o blood a year, which is usedor a wide variety o purposes. In afuent

countries, it is most commonly used tosupport invasive medical proceduresand operations like open-heart surgeryand organ transplantation. In low andmiddle-income countries it is used moreoten in pregnancy-related complicationsand severe childhood anemia.

However, it is now relatively uncommon orpatients to be given transusions o whole-blood, as separating the blood into its variouscomponents allows a single donation tobenet several patients. People are giventhe blood component they most need – beit red blood cells, platelets, plasma ormore specialist blood products. Theseinclude lie-saving coagulants used in thetreatment o hemophilia and various liverdiseases, and products that can controlbleeding during operations.

Specialized process

Processing blood into its various componentsis a highly specialized process – in part due tothe inherent variability o the source material,and because o the need or a high degree oproduct purity.

Filtration is used to separate the whiteblood cells and platelets. The remaining redblood cells and plasma are then separatedin special centriuges. Separation o the

proteins rom plasma normally uses a coldractionation process developed duringWorld War II. It involves mixing the plasmawith increasing concentrations o ethanolat -3 to -6°C. Dierent plasma proteinsare precipitated out o the solution atdierent concentrations and temperatures.While the concentrations o some o theseproteins such as albumin are relatively high(about 40g/liter) others are only availablein miniscule amounts – down to a ewnanograms/ml or some coagulation actors.

Demands on the equipment used in the

manuacture o these specialist products areimmense. As well as needing to be an asepticprocess, the ractionation requires the exactcooling o the separation vessel at variousstages, an extremely high dry matter contento the solids and precise control systems.

There are ew companies in the worldthat can meet these demands. GEA isone o them.

GEA And blood

The processing o blood must meet highest

requirements to ensure clinical excellence.

GEA Process Engineering company

GEA Diessel is a specialist in this feld

using its experience and expertise to unite

vital GEA technologies to create complete

processing plants or blood and plasma

processing: centriugation, nano-fltration,

chromatography and precise temperature

control. The company has successully

planned and built plants or plasma

ractionation in Germany, Switzerland

and China.

Depending on the application, plasma

needs to be rozen to -30°C within 60

minutes. GEA Heat Exchangers provides

variants o GEA Küba’s SG air coolers which

can accurately maintain such extreme low

temperatures.

GEA Westalia Separator Group, part oGEA Mechanical Equipment, is at the

oreront o developments in processing

blood plasma. Thanks to a unique design

eature the Westalia Separator® hycon now

allows the discharge process to be ully

automatic. This saves time and makes the

process saer or the product and operator.

The suitability o the separator or CIP and

SIP processes guarantees sterile handling o

the blood plasma protein during the entire

ractionation process. All hycon components

coming into contact with the product can be

cooled – essential or human blood plasma

ractionation. Also production can be carried

out at room temperature, rather than the

entire production area being at -5°C.

nEw sEpArAtor production plAnt For chinA

In line with the increasing globalization o its sales

markets, GEA is planning to build a separator production

acility in Wuqing, China in 2011. The new 80,000

square meter GEA Mechanical Equipment segment

acility will be built next to an existing GEA Heat

Exchangers production plant and an option to doublethe size o the new plant has already been agreed

with Chinese authorities. The new GEA Mechanical

Equipment production plant will help reduce process

and production costs and minimize global procurement

times. It will also improve market proximity to GEA’s

key international partners and, consequently, will ocus

mainly on products in demand in the Asian markets.

“Implementing this project perectly lays the groundwork

or our companies’ continued orward-looking approach,”

said Jürg Oleas, CEO o GEA Group.

Elsewhere in the country, GEA Process Engineering
