Homogenizing Valves
Suitable for food, dairy, beverages and chemical emulsions process, NanoVALVE® gets the best out of the pressure: improves product viscosity and stability and minimizes running costs.
The NanoVALVE® has been developed to achieve optimized performance at very low working pressure if compared to a conventional homogenizing valve.
The NanoVALVE® concept is based on a specific homogenizing valve profile, with optimized working gap and with a sharp edge for minimized travel distance between high pressure zone and high velocity zone, to release on product particles the most effective fluid-dynamic energy generated by high turbulence, localized cavitation, shear effects and wall impacts.
NanoVALVE® technology is suitable for different kind of applications: from food and beverages to dairy products: milk, yoghurt, cream and milk with flavors.
The various homogenizing valve designs are fundamentally important along with the valve geometry. The NanoVALVE® design allows an increase in efficiency and a reduction in operating pressure (tests demonstrates up to 20% lower operating pressure compared to the GEA standard valve) providing energy savings and optimal use of the ingredients and resources.
Turning tunicates into tomorrow’s packaging: A nanocellulose breakthrough
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.
