Sustainable packaged compressor system
Enhance your production with a scalable compressor system designed for high efficiency and sustainability, offering precision control while minimizing energy consumption for continuous operations across diverse sectors.
The GEA FES GLX Series, part of GEA’s renowned compressor packages, is engineered for diverse industrial applications ranging from food and beverage processing to pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Its standout feature is the optimized rotor profile enhanced by advanced cubic boron nitride grinding technology, which boosts volumetric efficiency while cutting power consumption. With a capacity to handle refrigerants like ammonia with a GWP of zero, it ensures sustainable operations.
The series is versatile in applications, producing everything from cheese and yogurt to LNG and HVAC systems. It features a 5:6 male to female lobe ratio for balanced bearing load distribution, reduced noise, and optimal bhp/ton performance. Its patented flow-optimized suction inlet further amplifies volumetric efficiency and noise reduction.
Operating flexibility is highlighted by its double-acting hydraulic capacity control, adjustable from 10% to 100%, and a high-definition multi-touch GEA Omni control panel for seamless automation. Available with options such as liquid injection oil cooling and thermosyphon, water-cooled, or glycol-cooled systems, it adapts to varying process demands efficiently.
The GLX Series incorporates variable speed operation and a robust monitoring system, including vibration and motor bearing protection, ensuring energy efficiency and operational integrity. Its design reflects compliance with industry standards, integrating easily into production lines with minimal downtime for maintenance, thanks to component accessibility and robust construction. Customizable upon request, it offers engineering support tailored to your specific process requirements.
