Homogenizer Compression block
OpenXFLO® has been designed to extend high pressure homogenization technology to new applications such as latex and polymers nanodispersions, slurries and products containing high fibers or solid parts.
Thanks to OpenXFLO® it is possible to pump a fluent product with conglomerated fibers or solid parts without any accumulations or clogging across the liquid end. The free passage of product within the pumping chambers and the pumping valve configuration without springs avoid the risk of solids accumulation.
Typical pressure rating is up to 150 bar, but special executions can be available upon request for higher pressures (up to 700 bar) on industrial scale capacity.
It may surprise you how many products need homogenization in their manufacturing process to make them more compatible with your daily life. Stabilization and a longer shelf life have always been among the highest priorities in many different processing industries but, especially nowadays, as lifestyles continue to change rapidly, they are becoming more and more valued.
Companies like GEA process and store large amounts of sensitive data. However, security incidents, from ransomware attacks to physical intrusions and industrial espionage, are ever-expanding. GEA’s effective protection of its business partners’ data – as well as its own proprietary information – is evolving into a competitive advantage. We spoke with Iskro Mollov, GEA’s Chief Information Security Officer, about what it takes to protect a global business in a volatile world.
Resource-efficient fashion has been a long-sought ambition amid the fashion industry’s considerable contributions to global carbon emissions. The need to close the loop by recycling textile fibers into virgin-like materials is higher than ever but seemed like a distant dream until now: Circ, GEA’s American customer and pioneer in the field of textile recycling, might be rewriting the future of the fashion industry.
Alternative proteins are promising – yet still expensive to produce. The usual response is that scaling up will solve this issue. But what if the solution was really about getting better, not just bigger? From more efficient, high-yield processes to upcycling waste heat, engineers are reshaping how we grow food.
