Single-stage centrifugal pump for high system pressures
The high-pressure pump is designed for system pressures up to 64 bar. This pump series is suitable for the use in industries with high demands to hygiene and reliability. A typical application area for the new high-pressure pump is membrane filtration like Reverse Osmosis (RO) and Nano Filtration (NF) in the dairy, food and beverage industry.
Produced of high-quality materials that meet the strict global hygiene standards, GEA Hilge HYGIA H also offers maximum flexibility. The materials used for HYGIA H pumps have been carefully selected for their use in hygienic processes. The housings, for example, are made of forged CrNiMo (1.4404) and guarantee optimum cleanability due to the smooth, pore- and blowhole-free surface.
The GEA Hilge HYGIA H pumps are CIP and SIP capable according to the performance criteria for pumps. The 3-A certified series is based on the proven design of the HYGIA pumps. The extensive customer and requirement specific documentation and certificates facilitate the qualification of the pump in the plant.
The quick-opening pump housing of the HYGIA H series allows easy access to the wearing parts. Thanks to an extensive range of mechanical seals, a wide variety of media and applications can be covered. Furthermore, with only three seal sizes for the entire performance range, wear part inventory is minimized.
The patented Adapta design (HYGIA H I & II), made of corrosion-free stainless steel, enables quick and easy motor replacement, allowing the pump to remain in the pipeline. The compact L design (HYGIA H III) and the Adapta design as well enables the use of a norm motor.

Thermoforming has long played a central role in food packaging. Now it is facing a major shift. As regulations tighten, materials evolve and costs rise, form fill seal lines must do more than run reliably – they now shape how food stays fresh, affordable and recyclable. Take a look at the key thermoforming trends informing the food packaging and delivery landscape.

From the orchards of the Cape to store shelves across 40 countries, the South African packhouse Betko has built a business on freshness, timing and reliability. With GEA’s controlled atmosphere refrigeration technology, the company can now store apples and pears for up to 14 months and cut energy consumption by 20%, with a partnership of more than 30 years at the heart of it all.
