Industrial refrigeration screw compressor

Maximize cooling efficiency and ensure precise temperature control in your operations with a compact, high-speed screw compressor designed for effective cold chain management and energy savings throughout your production line.

Reduces Energy and Controls Industrial Refrigeration

The GEA Grasso M series from GEA Group offers a line of packaged screw compressor systems designed for the demanding environments of food and beverage processing, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and building climatization. This system excels in efficiency, reducing power consumption by 3 to 5% compared to previous models, thanks to high-speed motors with a variable range from 1,000 to 4,500 rpm and the elimination of the need for an oil pump. The equipment supports applications such as cooling and refrigeration, with capacities spanning 219 to 879 kW, making it versatile for producing end-products like frozen vegetables and carbonated drinks. This system integrates seamlessly into existing production lines with its compact footprint, automated stepless capacity control, and user-friendly GEA Omni control panel. Maintenance is minimal due to extended intervals allowed by innovative component designs, further enhancing its cost-effectiveness. Designed for continuous, high-speed operations, the GEA Grasso M ensures energy efficiency and reliability while meeting rigorous industrial demands.
