Direct visual inspection with optional remote monitoring

Requiring no special tools, the VISIOCOVER® has been designed so that it can replace a standard SANICOVER® within minutes. Unlike traditional covers that have high collars and are often difficult to clean, VISIOCOVER® benefits from a sanitary design that ensures a tight seal with the flanges on the process side.
The patented VISIOCOVER® ensures the same easy access and clean internal environment as the SANICOVER®, but with the added possibility of identifying potential contamination without stopping production. Furthermore, installing the VISIOCOVER® on existing SANICOVER® installations is easy and allows the technician to safely inspect production without opening the plant and thus risking product contamination.
For customers currently using SANICOVER®, our upgrade program provides three standard sizes to match existing SANICOVER® systems.
The VISIOCOVER®means thatinspections can be performed without stopping production, provides visual access for various purposes and is just as hygienic as the proven SANICOVER®.

Even the smallest deviation in quality and consistency during the drying process can lead to problems, rejected product or loss of production time.

The innovative SPRAYEYE® Dual Camera is the world’s most advanced visual spray nozzle monitoring system. It combines clear digital images with IR temperature profiles allowing operators to see spray shapes and watch for potentially dangerous build-ups and hot spots at a glance.

Last year was not a year of hyped-up headlines for alternative proteins. Perhaps that is precisely why it was an important year for food biotech, the biotechnology behind everyday foods and ingredients. While the sector worked through a difficult funding environment, approvals were still granted, pilot lines set up and new platforms tested in the background. In short: headlines are turning into infrastructure. Frederieke Reiners heads GEA’s New Food business. She and her team work at the intersection of biotechnology and industrial food production. In this interview, she takes us on a world tour of food biotech in seven questions.
