Compressors for Co₂ freezing applications
Meeting the increasing demand for reliable and efficient freezing in industrial settings requires advanced compressors capable of handling specific refrigerants. Traditional compressors often fail to maintain low temperature operations which makes it crucial to explore specialized solutions.

High-capacity cooling with low volume flow
The GEA Grasso 5HP series is designed for CO₂ cascade freezing systems as well as NH₃ heat pump applications. Key features include a high stage design pressure of 50 bar, allowing efficient condensation and cooling. The series includes four single-stage models, ranging from 3 to 6 cylinders, and offers an extremely low volume flow in relation to its cooling capacity. Additionally, the compact nodular cast iron compressor housing and heavy-duty axial roller bearing ensure durability and long operational life. Suitable for various industrial sectors like dairy and slaughterhouses, the compressors also contribute to reducing waste heat and CO₂ emissions. GEA is the supplier of this highly reliable product.
