Food Processing
Each sector of the food processing industry applies its own specific conditions for temperature control of its products. In essence it is about maintaining quality by means of climate control throughout the production and transport chain. In addition, the whole sector is bound by strict legal regulations governing, amongst others, the fields of hygiene (HACCP), the environment, energy and safety. In order to enable producers, storage and transshipment companies to guarantee the requested added value and to meet the demands, GEA refrigeration offers truly customised solutions in the refrigeration industry.

Fruit & Vegetables |
| The assortment of poultry products has been widened considerably by innovation. Processing therefore no longer mean freezing entire chickens only. The added value in the processing of, for example, drumsticks, chicken fingers and chicken nuggets places heavy demands on temperature control at the line. |
|
In the meat sector people work with increasing capacities, a wide variety of products and ultimate care for quality control. Meat is being processed more and more and therefore control of colour, moisture and structure play a big role. Worldwide rules and regulations, such as HACCP, strictly enforce temperature and humidity levels. |
|
By means of a sophisticated temperature control system, potatoes, vegetables and fruit will reach the shelves in the shops after being harvested and picked under optimal conditions. Chain control during processing, packaging and storage ensures the right value combinations in temperature and humidity. |

| In the fishing industry, maintaining quality is defined by the capacity that is available to cool and freeze the fish immediately after the catch. This calls for efficient systems such as flat plate chillers, refrigerated hold systems and tunnel freezers, but also for the production of flow/slurry ice and the cooling of seawater. |
|
The dairy industry uses state of the art bulk cooling systems for storage and transport of milk. Climate control is of the utmost importance in this industry, and particularly in cheese production. Refrigeration solutions in this sector cannot do without capacity and reliability. |
|
The beverage and brewery sector places its own demands on refrigeration processes. GEA refrigeration has succeeded in becoming the market leader in refrigeration by investigating in depth the specific aspects of each sector. |
