Retractors enable efficient, safe, and hygienic CIP cleaning of tanks and pipelines with moving components such as agitators. In industries including food, beverage, dairy, chemical, and pharmaceuticals, they ensure reliable cleaning even in hard-to-reach areas affected by spray shadowing.
During production, the spray heads remain fully outside the product zone and are pneumatically extended only during the cleaning cycle. This guarantees high process safety, excellent hygienic performance, and significantly reduced cleaning time, water, and chemical consumption—making retractors an ideal solution for modern, sustainable CIP concepts.

The breakthrough that changed spray drying
In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.
Beyond the machine: unlocking better plant performance
An efficient machine does not automatically make an efficient factory. Real improvement often starts by looking beyond individual equipment and understanding how processes, energy systems and operating decisions affect one another. It’s a holistic approach designed to uncover opportunities that might otherwise be missed.
How a valve reshapes the way food and drinks are made
In food and beverage plants, valves are commonly operated using compressed air. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology moves valves with water instead, in a closed, digitally controlled circuit. The result is a valve that can be held exactly in place and steered in fine-tuned steps. This results in lower energy use and greater control.
