Double-seat valves
The easy solution for CIP feeds: GEA FLOWVENT Double-seal valves can be applied as efficient alternatives for secure separation of incompatible products within CIP systems or gas blocks.
GEA FLOWVENT Double-seal valves can be applied as efficient alternatives for secure separation of incompatible products within CIP systems or gas blocks.
The Double-seal valve separates media in two pipelines. The two seals are both located in one valve disc. Hence, they cannot be moved apart separately as in double-seat valves. Therefore, this valve type is recommend for CIP systems and gas blocks.
Double-seal valves are predominantly used in areas where hygienic safety is not critical, e.g. CIP systems and gas blocks (brewery).

Thermoforming has long played a central role in food packaging. Now it is facing a major shift. As regulations tighten, materials evolve and costs rise, form fill seal lines must do more than run reliably – they now shape how food stays fresh, affordable and recyclable. Take a look at the key thermoforming trends informing the food packaging and delivery landscape.

Von den Obstplantagen am Kap bis in die Regale von 40 Ländern – das südafrikanische Verpackungsunternehmen Betko hat sein Geschäft auf Frische, zeitliche Präzision und Zuverlässigkeit aufgebaut. Dank der Kühltechnologie mit kontrollierter Atmosphäre von GEA kann das Unternehmen nun Äpfel und Birnen bis zu 14 Monate lang lagern und den Energieverbrauch um 20 % senken. All dies basiert auf einer mehr als 30-jährigen Partnerschaft.
