High-speed reciprocating compressor
Achieve up to 25% more refrigeration capacity with high-speed compression, minimizing footprint and investment while maintaining reliable performance with eco-friendly ammonia refrigeration.

Enhances Cooling Capacity with High-Speed Compression
The GEA Grasso V HS Series compressors stand as a robust solution in industrial refrigeration, heating, and ammonia-based applications. These high-speed reciprocating compressors from GEA are engineered to increase refrigeration capacity by up to 25%, thanks to their extended speed capabilities of up to 1,500 rpm. This results in a more cost-effective operation—lower investment and service costs with efficient cooling for frozen foods, chilled beverages, and pharmaceuticals. Utilizing ammonia, an environmentally friendly refrigerant with zero GWP, the compressors are suitable for continuous operation in industries such as food, beverage, and energy. Integration into existing systems is facilitated by GEA RT Select, enabling precise configuration for your requirements. Maintenance is streamlined due to a reduced footprint design, and customization is available for specific operational needs.
