Safe maintenance & commissioning
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.

To accommodate the different requirements of various industries, applications and processes, we have a variety of mixproof shut-off valves in our portfolio.
VARIVENT® double-seat valves are used for mixproof shut-off of incompatible products at pipe junctions.
A special feature of this valve is that one of the valve housings may be pushed out using a pig. This technique allows for the recovery of high quality products at the end of a process step and thus to minimize product residues inside the pipe.
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.

Companies like GEA process and store large amounts of sensitive data. However, security incidents, from ransomware attacks to physical intrusions and industrial espionage, are ever-expanding. GEA’s effective protection of its business partners’ data – as well as its own proprietary information – is evolving into a competitive advantage. We spoke with Iskro Mollov, GEA’s Chief Information Security Officer, about what it takes to protect a global business in a volatile world.
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.
