Compact refrigeration compressor package

Optimize your industrial refrigeration with a compact compressor package designed for high efficiency, integrating seamlessly into your existing systems to enhance cooling and oil separation for continuous operations.

The GEA FES GMX series, offered by GEA, is a versatile packaged compressor system designed for optimizing industrial refrigeration tasks across various industries such as food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and more. Engineered to support high-stage, booster, or single-stage operations, this system integrates seamlessly into existing production lines to enhance cooling and oil separation processes.

The GMX utilizes a multi-stage oil separator design to minimize oil loss, ensuring efficient and smooth operation. With a capacity range of 164 to 618 CFM, it accommodates multiple refrigerants, including ammonia (R-717), which has a global warming potential of zero, making it environmentally friendly. Key applications include freezing and cooling for food products like frozen vegetables and dairy, as well as maintaining the integrity of sensitive pharmaceuticals like vaccines.

The system features a PLC-controlled GEA Omni control panel that supports remote monitoring, enhancing operational oversight. Multiple oil-cooling options—be it thermosiphon, liquid-injection, or water-cooled—cater to diverse operational needs. With a service-friendly, compact design, maintenance is straightforward, reducing downtime. The equipment can be configured to meet specific operation requirements, with engineering support available for tailored solutions.
