Homogenizing valves
NanoVALVE®HP has been designed with the aim of extending the concept of the NanoVALVE® even at high pressures (up to 700 bar) and to offer advantages especially in terms of homogenization effect and energy savings of new applications.
Maintaining the same process conditions, NanoVALVE®HP is now able to achieve an excellent homogenization quality, making the effects on the finished product even more recognizable. In addition, with the same homogenization level, it allows working at lower pressures related to conventional valves.
The geometry of the valve is based on a specific profile capable of optimizing the distance between the passage head and the impact head and therefore to allow a greater efficiency of the fluid dynamic forces.
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.
NanoVALVE®HP is available in 3 sizes, thus offering the possibility to combine different valve parameters: the passage head, the impact ring and the travel, which can be customized according to the needs of the process.
Another revolutionary feature of this valve regards the impact ring, fully integrated into the passage head, so as to form a valve composed of only two parts: the passage head and the impact head, both reversible.
NanoVALVE®HP is available on models of the Ariete® Series, from NS3090 to NS5355 for operating pressures between 250 and 700 bar and flow rate range from 5.000 to 31.000 l/h.
What if your favorite chocolate didn’t require cocoa beans and your coffee was locally produced? As climate disruption, price hikes and ethical concerns hit two of our most beloved indulgences, scientists are reimagining how we produce them – using microbes, not monocultures. The goal: preserve the flavor and properties of coffee and chocolate while minimizing carbon emissions and improving food resilience.
Ports now compete not just on logistics, but on sustainability. At Greece’s Piraeus port, an advanced processing and recovery facility recycles ship waste oil into fuel. Equipped with GEA’s high-performance centrifuges, it sets a new benchmark for state-of-the-art, environmentally responsible port operations.
The 2022 CO2 shortage forced breweries to review their dependency on global supply chains. Many were forced to close, unable to carbonate their products. At its breweries in Germany, OeTTINGER GETRÄNKE is turning its own CO2 into a powerful lever for independence and sustainability – with the help of CO2 recovery technology from GEA.
