Inline Equipment
Sight glasses inserted into the VARINLINE® access unit or into a housing connection flange (for vessels and tanks) are used for visual monitoring of the product. In case of optically dense products, illumination with adjustable brightness is recommended.
VARINLINE® sight glasses can be adapted to VARINLINE® housings or tank connections and enables a visual check of the processed medium.
The glass lock made of borosilicate can be used at pressure ranges between -1 and 25 bar, depending on the size of the glass. Nevertheless, the maximum pressure rating of the surrounding equipment needs to be considered.
To also enable proper visual checks of dull liquids, the installation of an additional illumination is recommended. The long-lasting LED illumination incorporates 20 LEDs and can be delivered with a connected cable with the length of 2 or 25m.
By using a feeler, the 2 Watt illumination is activated. For the installation within explosion proof areas an ATEX illumination without a feeler is available.

In the current process technology, fixed piping systems lead to permanently closed systems within the single plants which do not allow the operator to have a direct view into the production process. By equipping the pipelines with VARINLINE® housings, control and measurement instruments can be installed within the piping systems to monitor the pr...

Due to its special structural shape, the instrument can be used for the measurement of excess and vacuum pressures.

The gas expansion thermometer is characterized by its robust design and the ideal, fully welded installation within the VARINLINE® process connections.

In connection with a standard evaluation unit, the conductive electrode is mainly used for level detection in tanks.
Since 2019, GEA has risen from underperformer to DAX member – one of Germany's top 40 listed companies – by fostering entrepreneurship and turning sustainability into a competitive advantage. It reached this milestone in its nearly 145-year history without tailwinds or shortcuts, in a world of compounding crises. This turnaround shows what's possible when purpose and performance align.
This year was a big one for GEA. Can you remember all the milestones and highlights?
The GEA Foundation launched this year with a promise: to make a tangible difference in people's lives. From scholarships in Germany to clean water in Tanzania, the foundation is already proving that when companies commit to giving back, lives change.
