Resource-friendly cleaning technology from GEA
Cutting downtime and costs
A faulty cleaner previously meant significant production delays, as ordering a replacement could take up to two weeks. “With the new service kits, our customers can now handle repairs themselves in just a few days,” says Jana Zimpel, Product Sales Manager for Cleaning Technology at GEA’s Separation and Flow Technologies division. The kits are shipped within two to three days – at a fraction of the cost of a new unit.

GEA service kits contain replacement parts for GEA’s tank cleaner series, allowing plant operators to perform on-site maintenance using standard tools. For Turbodisc cleaners (left), the kit includes a wedge lock washer, seal ring, and bush, while for Turbo SSB cleaners (right), it consists of a washer and shaft bearing. ©GEA
Extending lifespan for greater sustainability
Serviceability is a key step toward more sustainable industrial operations. Instead of discarding entire units due to wear, plant operators can now replace small components, significantly reducing material waste. “This approach helps businesses lower costs while improving their environmental footprint through smarter resource use,” says Zimpel.
