Double-seat valves
State-of-the-art for your secure applications: GEA FLOWVENT Mixproof valves are used for the hygienically safe shut-off of incompatible media at pipe intersections.
GEA FLOWVENT Mixproof valves are used for the hygienically safe shut-off of incompatible media at pipe intersections.
In the closed state of the valve (non-actuated position) there are always two seals between the separate pipelines. If one seal should become defective, the resulting leakage can flow off from the leakage outlet to the periphery in a targeted manner without mixing with the product in the second pipeline. In this way it is ensured that no mixing occurs between the media in two pipelines.
Hygienic applications in dairy before heat-treatment or e.g. in fermentation and storage tank farms and in the brewing and beverage industries.

While the initial interest in heat pumps was to save on operating costs, reducing emissions is now the main driver for the technology. Learn more about how GEA is spearheading efforts to increase energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions through hidden champion heat pump technology for industrial and district heating sectors.
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.
