Air Eco2nomy oers benets for you as user and for the envi-

ronment. Through demand-driven air t reatment with obser-

vance of the applicable standards, with a minimum of energy

consumption, GEA HVAC Systems (HVAC = Heating, Ven-

tilation, Air Conditioning) accepts responsibility for your

room climate and for our earth.

As processor or wholesaler of foods and beverages, you are just

as keen for top product quality as are warehouse operators and

retailers. But its not only high product quality, good taste, and

freshness that your customers expect: they also want low prices.

The operation of building services is a major inuence on over-

all costs including HVAC. Keeping these costs low and assur-

ing good room climate at the same time: this is a task that we

have accepted and that we fulll day after day.

It is a welcome challenge for us to nd the optimal solution for

your business. By the expert selection and combination of ourproducts, or with the aid of modication of existing equipment,

we create perfect room climate for you. Our solutions lter air,

and can disinfect, heat, and cool it with energy-saving air trans -

port. But we dont stop there: our systems can regulate relative

humidity and eectively remove extracted air. All of this takes

place with superior-quality components that are controlled by

advanced electronic systems. The result: assurance of high air

quality with low consumption of resources and low operating

expenses. This is what we call Air Eco2nomy.

Air Eco2nomy is more than just engineering. It is an attitude that

creates values with a future: awless conditioning of air, conser-

vation of energy resources and climate, and security for compa-

nies and investors.

Air Eco2nomy

The signs of the times

are plain enough

Ventilation with climate control is

precision work in the temperature

control and conditioning of room air.

This, after all, is the only way of

harmonizing optimal eects and maxi-

mum energy savings. For example,

at Grolsch breweries in the Netherlands,

where special central air-handling

units ensure good and clean air.

HVAC solutions for the food and beverage industry

First-class air treatment

for top product quality

Systems from us assure product quality, enhance work pro-

ductivity, and reduce cleaning expenses. Reduction in clean-ing costs results from eective cooling of production halls,

lowering of microbe concentration, dehumidication of the air

and not least by reliable operation of HVAC equipment.

The food and beverage industry extensively requires extremely

hygienic air conditions and eective cooling, to assure optimal

processing of easily perishable products. Air quality has a direct

eect here on the quality and the durability of foods and bever-

ages. This is highly evident in the example of a meat-processing

plant that GEA HVAC Systems equipped with air-treatment units.

This plant includes a cooling system that allows packing of cold

cuts at around zero degrees Celsius and that disinfects supply

air which assures the enhancement of product durability and

of plant productivity. Thanks to reduced microbe concentration,

wet cleaning of the production line is necessary less frequently.

Availability of the machines accordingly rose by several hours

per week.

As another example, the dehumidication expertise of GEA

HVAC Systems pays o in the salt bath of a cheese production

plant. Technology derived from the climate control of indoorswimming pools has enabled the regulation of humidity in

cheese plants by equipment that can over the long term with-

stand the aggressive salty air prevailing there.

Disinfection of supply air and eective cooling have signicant positive eects in the

processing of easily perishable goods on their quality and on their durability.

Chocolate

Chocolate snacks demand maintenance of

temperature within precise ranges, to assure

that the products are not too soft and not too

tough. Within the required range, processing

of chocolate bars is successful, with retention

of their appetizing appeal.

Dairy products

Dehumidication provides the ideal production

climate for dairy foods and at the same time

prevents formation of mold in protection of

both the product and plant facilities.

Beer

Special air-handling units highly

eectively supply clean air even tothe largest of production spaces.

Wine and champagne

True enjoyment of luxurious beverages is possible

only if ideal ambience is assured to match the intended

culinary delight. And this is not least a matter for

climate control: in creation of coziness and comfort in

a quiet, unobtrusive manner.

Meat and sausage products

Sophisticated disinfection and cooling of air assures

hygienic conditions and enhances product quality and

plant productivity.

If you more closely examine a system from GEA HVAC Systems,

and perhaps even cast a glance into its insides, you will see

more than just sheet metal and electronics. You will also nd

a great deal of know-how in there. This expertise optimally

combines functionality, cost eectiveness, and hygiene.

GEA HVAC Systems is the leading specialist for supply and ex-

haust ventilation, temperature control, and humidication or

dehumidication of the air that you require. And we develop all

the primary components and unit designs in our own company,

for which our engineering-design specialists resort to decades

of valuable experience. Continuous improvements mark the ad-

vances made in our main equipment groups prompted as they

are by new production techniques, further-optimized materials,

insights gained from practice, and new customer wishes. These

ongoing advances are highly evident in our central air-handling

systems, unit heaters, chillers, and extract fans.

Our Inst itute for HVAC Technology puts our prototypes through

rigorous testing. Simulations and prototype testing eectively

reveal whether new ideas can in fact be successfully imple-

mented before products to go series production. In the Insti-

tute for HVAC Technology, we can also simulate specic appli-

cation cases. It is even possible to physically simulate spatial

congurations in order to test and optimize planning. This oers

planners and operators valuable support when their special

problems demand unconventional solutions.

Our expertise whether integrated in our equipment, or pro-

vided as service means a major benet for you: you buy func-

tionality, combined with eciency. And you can be sure that our

products function in harmony with each other. This is also guar -

anteed by the closed-loop control system developed in our labs.

It manages all HVAC units and, thanks to its bus system, enables

inclusion of sensors as well as system integration into a build-

ing management system.

Processing of ham, sausage, and other meats

Slice for slice, hygienically packed

When we can combine good taste and durability, then you and

GEA HVAC Systems have done good work. You: because you

have designed your production to assure fast and high-quality

processing of easily perishable products. We: because our air

treatment ensures the best processing temperatures and even

prevents microbe problems as a result.

When sausage and ham come onto the table, or when steaks and

roasts sizzle away, the last thing consumers want is to worry

about their health. And there is no need, since you and we have

already done the worrying. Eective air treatment and cooling

of the air prevent microbes from propagating, and fresh meat

stays fresh.

Solutions based on GEA HVAC systems have already proven

eective in numerous meat-processing applications, including

at Artland Convenience in Badbergen, Germany. During process-

ing, HVAC systems from GEA ensure that the sensitive products

are dressed under well-cooled conditions. The design and cong-

uration of equipment according to Hygiene Directive VDI 6022additionally ensure that structural-design measures eectively

prevent the collection of debris and formation of microbe pock-

ets. Optimized equipment design furthermore simplies regu-

lar cleaning and disinfection.

The fact that hygiene not only enhances the durability of meat

products, but also improves the e ciency of their processing, is

conrmed by an example from cold-cut packing at German sau-

sage specialists Hans Kupfer & Sohn GmbH & Co. KG Wurstspe-

zialitten. The ham that is packed here in thin slices has a large

surface area and is therefore especially susceptible to microbes.

As a result, our solution uses ionization to kill microbes before

they can enter the processing plant. And one positive side eect:

since there are fewer microbes throughout the entire packing

line, expensive wet cleaning is not required so often. This saves

several hours of work per week and adds up to around 20 % more

machine operation time. GEA air is good for your sales.

HVAC technology for rigorous hygienic

requirements:

Optimized equipment design and eective

lter technology prevent accumulation

of debris and microbes, thereby enhancing

hygiene

Development of condensate is constructively

retarded, and collected condensate is safely

removed

Smooth surfaces, model characteristics in

conformity with the relevant standards, and

well-designed inspection openings and doors

simplify routine cleaning

Optional microbe disinfection prevents the

entry of pathogens Quiet operation of the units enables roof

installation in areas where commercial and

residential use are mixed

GEA central air-handling systems, designed according

to VDI 6022, oer smooth surfaces and sophisticated

structural design, which enable hygienic air treatment

and assure fresh processing of sausage and meats.

Please consult our product brochure for greater details

on the GEA CAIR line.

Reduced microbe concentrations in supply air can ensure more durable

meat products, as well as less-frequent cleaning of production lines. This means

benets for both consumers and for plant processors.

Dairy products

Nowhere cheesy

Its pleasant enough at a Thalasso spa, but its absolutely

necessary in the production of cheese: the dehumidication

of salty air. Technology and competence gained by GEA in

HVAC systems for indoor swimming pools prevents forma-

tion of mold in the salt baths of cheese production. At the same

time, they likewise protect building structures from moisture

damage.

Air Eco2nomy stands for more eciency and more benets. Users

enjoy double advantage from dehumidiers that assure constant

relative humidity, for example, in the salt-bath rooms of cheese

plants such as that of the company Mritz-Milch in Waren, Ger-

many. These systems prevent condensation on wal ls and ceilings,

and the dripping of condensate into the salt baths but avoid at

the same time corrosion damage to the building structure.

The selection of various eective materials for the HVAC units

themselves and for the heat exchangers as wel l as specia l coat-

ings enables production of dehumidiers that are resistant to

aggressive air. Here, industrial users prot from the experiencethat GEA HVAC Systems has gained in sea-water and thermal

swimming pools, and in conventional indoor baths. Actually,

HVAC systems for salt-bath rooms in cheese production dier

from those in swimming pools in only one component: a larger

evaporator. This is necessary to prevent icing owing to a low

room temperature of around 15 C.

It goes without saying that maintenance of GEA dehumidiers

is a simple matter. Generously dimensioned service doors sim-

plify work such as cleaning and lter exchange, reduce risks of

soiling, and keep downtimes to a minimum.

Chocolate

Not too hot and not too cold

When producers temptingly cover luscious cookie lling with

chocolate, precise temperature control is absolutely necessary.

Only this will ensure perfect application of the sweet, dark

mass with creation of the gentle wavy structure of the appe-

tizing and silky glossy chocolate surface.

Just the very sight of it makes your mouth water: delicate choco-

late encases a crunchy cookie core, creamy bars, or other sweet

temptations. The appealing appearance depends in good part on

the right ambient air. If the room temperature is too cold, the

chocolate mass becomes tough. If too warm, only a tiny thin

chocolate cover would be possible.

To assure that a chocolate cover absolutely succeeds, HVAC sys-

tems must keep the temperature constant: for example, in the

production of Mars products in the Netherlands. These systems

feature heater and cooler banks. As are the other components of

the units, these heat exchangers are easily accessible and can be

cleaned from two sides. The use of stainless steel for essential

components also simplies regular cleaning, and enhances hy-gienic conditions.

In the bakery, where the crunchy cookie llings of sweet snacks

are created, the HVAC units are not required to be able to heat.

Here instead, the air cools by gently sweeping past the freshly

baked products. To remove spent air from the hall, special ex-

haust-air fans are used, with motors installed outside the air ow.

This prevents tiny cookie or nut particles oating in the air from

soiling the motors. The exhaust-air units are especially tted with

two fans, so that one can be disassembled and cleaned while the

other continues to remove the vitiated air from the building.

Special solutions for continous operation:

Exhaust-air fans for roof installation,

with two fans for uninterrupted operationduring maintenance

Installation of the motor outside the

air ow, for reliable operation

Enclosures that are easy to open for

maintenance

Integration of the control system for the

extraction units into the overall HVAC

plant

Availability of various sizes for demand-

driven selection

Extracted-air fans by GEA HVAC Systems are eectively suited for

dusty environments, hot vapors and gases, air containing grease, and even

explosion-endangered atmospheres with each requirement covered

by the especially designed individual models. And of course, GEA models

are also available for unproblematic extracted-air requirements. Please

consult our product brochure for greater details on the GEA RoofJETT line.

Beverages

Tingling climate control for

traditional thirst-quenchers

Series-model saving functions and energy recuperation make

it possible for breweries, for example, to reduce their energy

costs. The brewery Grolsch is among the companies that

thanks to GEA HVAC Systems have achieved outstanding

effi ciency.

Beginning from 1615, the beer brewed in Grol in the Netherlands,

Grolsch beer, has developed from a regional to an internationally

acclaimed beer. The best-known product is in the bottle with the

distinctive swing-top cap. In 2004, the company Koninklijke

Grolsch completed a new brewery, which was equipped with

30 GEA central air-handling units. Ten dierent models were

ordered, most of which were large models for the bottle-lling

line. These units are of course in compliance with standards, but

are by no means conventional: GEA has reduced the air resist-

ance of these units and has saved 120 kW (15 kW per unit) of

consumed power. As a result, the HVAC systems satised the

stipulations of the company to make the new brewery an exam-ple of power saving. At Grolsch, almost all of the GEA central

air-handling units have been equipped with energy recuperation

systems to enhance e ciency.

In addition to energy savings, however, Grolsch also expected

that noise-emission characteristics and service life would satisfy

strict demands. All units, consequently, have very quiet fans.

They also have double enclosures, which contribute to noise re-

duction. The galvanized-steel outside and inside walls of the

units, in addition to other corrosion-resistant materials, also

guarantee long life cycles.

The modular conguration of GEA central

air-handling units assures flexibility:

Framed structure with panels that can

be easily removed

Integrated thermal insulation and noise

attenuation

Selection of various energy-recuperation

systems

For indoor or outdoor installation

Various modular grid dimensions

Optional control of the drives viafrequency converters

Thanks to modular congurations, there is virtually

no requirement that GEA CAIRplus central air-handling

systems cannot satisfy. Even with extremely varying

user requirements, these units are highly attractive with

their e cient partia l-load operation and innitely va riable

fan control resulting in turn in great cost eectiveness.

Please consult our product brochure for greater details on

the GEA CAIRplus line.

Filters

Here theres no way get through

As much as necessary, and as little as possible this also

applies to our lters. They optimally retain debris, but result

in extremely little pressure drop and consequently use very

little power. A key factor in production environments with

strict stipulations placed on air purity.

Filters by GEA HVAC Systems mean that you can satisfy strin-

gent stipulations for air purity. Coarse debris and tiny dust par-

ticles we have something against both of them. But, to prevent

ne lters from clogging up prematurely early, we can propose

in case of rigorous demands that you implement a lter cas-

cade. The rst stage retains coarse particles and insects, and the

second and possibly third stages take care of the nest dust

particles.

You can also depend on GEA ltration e ciency. Sophisticated

manufacturing processes and the development competence of

our company guarantee that, for example, lter media have a

uniform ltration eect and that lter frames t perfectly and

are su ciently tight. But feel free to conrm our claims by look-ing at the results provided by independent testing agencies:

Eurovent, for example, has tested our ne-par ticle lters and has

certied that they conform to the technical data: and not only

for one selected model, but also for our complete series. For you,

this means a plus in safety and a clean solution for your produc-

tion-oor air.

Filters for a wide range of requirements:

Filter solutions for supply and

extracted air

Filter units for central and decentral

solutions

Coarse and ne lters, gas lters, odor

lters, etc. Development and production all at

GEA facilities

Advanced machines for precise series

production and individual frame sizes

Certied ne-particle lters in classes

F5 to F9

Uniform lter eectiveness and low

pressure drop

Bag lters oer large surface areas and,

consequently, great ltration eectiveness,

without excessively impeding the air ow.

They are therefore the ideal solution for

ltration of ne pollen and dust. Please

consult our product brochure for greater

details on GEA air lters.
