Double-seat valves
The easy solution for CIP feeds: GEA FLOWVENT Double-seal valves can be applied as efficient alternatives for secure separation of incompatible products within CIP systems or gas blocks.
GEA FLOWVENT Double-seal valves can be applied as efficient alternatives for secure separation of incompatible products within CIP systems or gas blocks.
The Double-seal valve separates media in two pipelines. The two seals are both located in one valve disc. Hence, they cannot be moved apart separately as in double-seat valves. Therefore, this valve type is recommend for CIP systems and gas blocks.
Double-seal valves are predominantly used in areas where hygienic safety is not critical, e.g. CIP systems and gas blocks (brewery).

GEA centrifuges enable wastewater reuse, resource recovery, and water security by turning biosolids into value in a world facing growing water scarcity.
Last year was not a year of hyped-up headlines for alternative proteins. Perhaps that is precisely why it was an important year for food biotech, the biotechnology behind everyday foods and ingredients. While the sector worked through a difficult funding environment, approvals were still granted, pilot lines set up and new platforms tested in the background. In short: headlines are turning into infrastructure. Frederieke Reiners heads GEA’s New Food business. She and her team work at the intersection of biotechnology and industrial food production. In this interview, she takes us on a world tour of food biotech in seven questions.
