More Flexibility for your Demanding Process Applications - The premium pump series GEA Hilge HYGIA in the GEA Varipump line consists of single-stage end-suction centrifugal pumps, constructed for use in industries with high demands to hygiene and flexibility.
Produced of high-quality materials that meet the highest global hygiene standards, GEA Hilge HYGIA also offers a high level of flexibility. Apart from DIN, ASME and ISO connections, a flexible range of custom connections is available upon request.
The pumps are equipped with operating-point-optimized impellers. Different impeller geometries are available for this.
The materials used for GEA Hilge HYGIA pumps have been selected for the use in hygienic processes. The housings are made of CrNiMo rolled steel (1.4404/1.4435) and have a smooth surface without pores and blowholes.
GEA Hilge HYGIA pumps are CIP/SIP-able according to the performance criteria for pumps acc. to DIN EN 12462. The media-contacting parts meet the requirements of the QHD-standards and the EHEDG with test certificate as proof of CIP cleaning capacity.
A wide range of mechanical seal options is available to suit different media and applications. The mechanical seals used in the GEA Hilge HYGIA range are single inboard seals that maintain the optimum position in the liquid.

The GEA Hilge HYGIA pump can be flexibly employed in all application ranges in which reliable hygienic pump function is required. This includes the following areas:
Beverage:
Single-Stage End-Suction High-pressure Centrifugal Pump for membrane filtration in the dairy, food and beverage industry.
The GEA Hilge HYGIA H as a part of the GEA Varipump line is an additional range to the pump portfolio of single-stage end-suction centrifugal pumps. The high-pressure pump is designed for system pressures up to 64 bar, is available in two sizes and suitable for the use in industries with high demands to hygiene and reliability. A typical application area for the new high-pressure pump is membrane filtration like Reverse Osmosis (RO) and Nano Filtration (NF) in the dairy, food and beverage industry.
Produced of high-quality materials that meet the strict global hygiene standards, GEA Hilge HYGIA H also offers maximum flexibility.
The pumps are equipped with operating-point-optimized impellers and are test bench approved.
The materials used for GEA Hilge HYGIA H pumps have been selected for the use in hygienic processes. The housings are made of CrNiMo (1.4404) forged and have a smooth surface without pores and blowholes.
GEA Hilge HYGIA H pumps are CIP/SIP-able according to the performance criteria for pumps acc. to DIN EN 12462. The media-contacting parts meet the requirements of the QHD and 3-A standards.
The new high-pressure pump from GEA is based on the GEA Hilge HYGIA which has proven itself over decades. The premium pump has always stood for good cleanability, high stability and quality. Now the series can also cover the high pressure ranges that are required for membrane filtration in the whey process.
A wide range of mechanical seal options is available to suit different media and applications. The mechanical seals used in the GEA Hilge HYGIA H range are single inboard seals that maintain the optimum position in the liquid.
