Food Processing
Each branch in the food processing industry applies specific conditions for temperature control of their products. In general, it is particularly about maintaining quality by means of climate control in the production and transport chain. In addition, the whole sector is bound by strict legal regulations, among other things in the field of hygiene (HACCP), the environment, energy and safety. In order to enable producers, storage and transshipment companies to guarantee the requested added value and to meet the demands GEA refrigeration realizes customized solutions in the refrigeration industry.

| The dairy industry uses state of the art bulk cooling systems for storage and transport of milk. Besides, climate control is of the utmost importance in particularly cheese produc-tion. Refrigeration solutions in this branch cannot do without capacity and reliability. |
|
In the fishing industry maintaining quality is defined by the capacity that is available to cool and freeze the fish immediately after the catch. This calls for efficient systems such as flat plate chillers, refrigerated hold systems and tunnel freezers, but also for the production of flow/slurry ice and the cooling of sea water. |

By means of a sophisticated temperature control system potatoes, vegetables and fruit will reach the shelves in the shops after being harvested and picked under optimal conditions. Chain control during processing, packaging and storage ensures the right value combinations in temperature and humidity.

In the meat sector people work with large capacities, a wide variety and ultimate care for quality control. Meat is more and more processed, and therefore control of color, moisture and structure count as well. Worldwide rules and regulations, such as HACCP strictly enforce temperature and humidity levels. |
|
The assortment of poultry products has been widened considerably by innovation. Processing therefore does no longer only mean freezing entire chickens. The added value in the processing into for example drumsticks, chicken fingers and chicken nuggets makes heavy demands upon temperature control at the line. |
|
The substantial increase in diversity in the supply and demand of snacks makes higher demands upon storage life, temperature and humidity control. Traditional varieties and also the emergence of microwave products ask for more chain control. |
