At SMM – the leading international trade fair in the marine sector for shipbuilding, machinery, and marine technology, to be held in Hamburg from September 4 to 7, 2012 – GEA will present a number of innovations. Visitors to Hall A3, Stand 212 can become acquainted with various product innovations, including GEA Bock compressors from GEA Refrigeration Technologies. These compressors – for example, the F16 range – have already proven successful in HVAC and refrigeration systems for food and beverages on board. This line will now be rounded off by the new GEA Bock F18 compressors. These 8-cylinder compressors feature long-life components, and they are smaller and lighter than earlier piston compressors available for the range from 240 to 280 m³/h. They are also, for example, simpler to install in a machine room. In addition, GEA Refrigeration Technologies will present its worldwide marine service now available around the clock via a central hotline.
