Packaged screw compressor for low temperature and high differential pressure
Optimize your refrigeration and cooling processes with a two-stage screw compressor package designed for low temperature and high differential pressure operations, ensuring operational efficiency and flexibility in demanding environments.

The GEA Grasso SP2 from GEA is a two-stage screw compressor package designed to tackle complex thermal challenges by efficiently handling low evaporation temperatures and high differential pressures. This unique system incorporates two serially arranged drivelines for low and high-pressure compression, providing operational flexibility and redundancy. Perfect for applications in refrigeration, air conditioning, and broader industrial sectors, it’s capable of producing end-products like frozen vegetables, ice cream, and chilled beverages. With a refrigeration capacity ranging from 118 to 2,100 kW, it features optional variable-speed drives for energy efficiency and flexible operation. The package’s compact design integrates easily into existing lines, reducing installation space and simplifying maintenance. Additionally, it supports further customization with options like an open or closed flash intercooler. The GEA Grasso SP2 is engineered to meet the demands of food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and energy sectors with precision and reliability.
