Homogenizer Compression Block
The Standard compression block is a monoblock head which pumps the product up to the homogenizing valve at high pressure.
The Standard compression block design is based on the optimization of internal passages, with radiused surfaces and without dead zone that minimize the stresses generated by the pulsating pressure, especially on the areas of intersection of holes and channels for the product passage.
Other unique features complement the head: the valve seats can be easily removed, the configuration of the ball or mushroom pumping valves are fully interchangeable, the aseptic version, the 3-A arrangement, the special materials, the wide range of packages for pistons, the front access for maintenance and replacement of the piston gaskets (packings).
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.
The impact of global warming is increasingly apparent all over the world. Towns and cities everywhere face the same challenge: providing their communities with reliable, affordable, sustainably sourced heat. GEA spoke with an expert in the field, Kenneth Hoffmann, Manager, Heat Pumps at GEA Heating & Refrigeration Technologies, about tackling global warming faster.
Something caught Farmer Tom's eye. Instead of another product demo, GEA showcased innovations via AR. That's only the start of GEA's interactive digital farm.
GEA scientists are working with researchers at the Graz University of Technology to configure a homogenization process and technology that turns eucalyptus pulp into 3D-printed, organic structures mimicking human veins, arteries and other tissues.
