Mobile applications - The new link in the GEA chain

With the segment GEA Refrigeration Technologies the GEA Group covers numerous applications in the area of refrigeration and air-conditioning. With the acquisition of Bock, an important strategic area is added: mobile applications. The application areas that already existed before the acquisition of Bock are introduced shortly below:

Food Processing

Of course, we all want our vegetables to be full of vitamins and our apples to be tasty and crisp. And one factor is often the key here: refrigeration. Proper cooling inhibits the proliferation of microorganisms, and freezing permanently seals freshness in these foods.

Leisure

Ice skating in summer or skiing in the desert – made possible only thanks to refrigeration technology. And it enables some people to see and experience snow for the first time in their lives – and to revel in this pleasure.

Marine

All the way from fishing ships to juice transport: many perishable goods are transported on the high seas. Our refrigeration technology makes every effort to ensure that they arrive unharmed.

Oil, Gas, Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals

In the processing industries involving chemicals, petrochemicals, and gas, refrigeration has become absolutely necessary. It takes starting materials and products to the required temperatures. Or, it cools after chemical processes have developed heat.

Storage & Distribution

What do vegetables have in common with bouquets of flowers? Both profit from our refrigeration experience during storage. With vegetables, cooling minimizes vitamin loss. Cooling prevents cut flowers from opening or wilting before reaching retailers.

Supermarket

Whether chilling or freezing products or air-conditioning the salesroom – the energy consumed by conventional refrigeration technology is immense. That said, the latest technology - refrigeration system regulation for example - offers an enormous savings potential by using frequency converter technology.

Utilities

Our systems in many projects evidence that cooling can be highly valuable in mining, in constructing buildings, and even in tunnel building. Concrete, for example, hardens optimally only if it cures under the appropriate temperatures.
