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.
Automated milking has become the first choice for many modern dairy farms. The benefits are compelling, and with a new batch milking solution from GEA, automated group milking for large dairy herds is possible without the need – and expense – of rebuilding existing facilities.
GEA has once again earned the highest rating – Platinum – in the globally recognized EcoVadis sustainability assessment. With a score of 92 out of 100, the machinery and plant manufacturer has improved significantly from last year’s result of 82 points. For the second year in a row, GEA ranks among the top one percent of more than 150,000 rated companies across 185 countries.
At Carlsberg’s Fredericia brewery, GEA VARIVENT valves are part of a long-game strategy. By reusing core valve bodies, retrofitting actuators and control tops, and planning maintenance around brewing seasons, Carlsberg extends asset life, reduces downtime and supports its ambitious water and sustainability targets.
