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.
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.
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.
