Double-seat valves
A special feature of this valve is that the pig can be conveyed through the cylindrical design of the housing. Pigging technology enables valuable products to be recovered at the end of the process step, thereby minimizing product residues in the pipe.

VARIVENT® double-seat valves are used for mixproof shut-off of incompatible products at pipe junctions.
VARIVENT® mixproof valves type C and K are used as an efficient alternative for mixproof separation of incompatible products at pipeline junctions within CIP systems or gas blocks.
LoTo solutions available for all hygienic seat valves ensure a safe maintenance & commissioning of process plants. Use an easy-to-apply AIR LOCK to cut off the control air connection. Or replace the feedback system with a sturdy DISK LOCK to safely block valve action.
Recover the value - Reduce the waste: GEA VARICOVER Product Recovery System
Resource-efficient fashion has been a long-sought ambition amid the fashion industry’s considerable contributions to global carbon emissions. The need to close the loop by recycling textile fibers into virgin-like materials is higher than ever but seemed like a distant dream until now: Circ, GEA’s American customer and pioneer in the field of textile recycling, might be rewriting the future of the fashion industry.
Alternative proteins are promising – yet still expensive to produce. The usual response is that scaling up will solve this issue. But what if the solution was really about getting better, not just bigger? From more efficient, high-yield processes to upcycling waste heat, engineers are reshaping how we grow food.
As anti-cancer drugs become more powerful and complex, GEA is redefining how to safely freeze-dry these life-saving treatments.
