Industrial refrigeration reciprocating compressor
Optimize your refrigeration systems with advanced reciprocating compressors designed for precise capacity control and enhanced cooling efficiency, ensuring consistent performance and energy savings for high-demand operations.

Compresses and Controls Refrigeration for Industrial Applications
The GEA Grasso V Series from GEA heralds a new era in industrial refrigeration with its line of reciprocating compressors designed for maximum reliability and minimal Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). These compressors excel in precision cooling and compression tasks across food, beverage, and pharmaceutical applications, processing frozen, chilled, and dry goods. The series offers models with swept volumes from 217 to 1,592 m³⁄h, supporting applications up to continuous, high-speed demands. Utilizing electronically controlled service intervals, the compressors ensure extended operation without impacting performance. Additionally, the heavy-duty axial roller bearings and counter-pressure independent overflow valves support reducing energy consumption. The no-water-cooling requirement and low noise levels further enhance their operational appeal. Compatible with NH₃ refrigerants, this series supports speed control for tailored performance and includes maintenance monitoring for proactive servicing. The GEA Grasso V Series is adaptable to various operations, providing robust engineering support for customization needs within your production line.
