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.

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.
Ports now compete not just on logistics, but on sustainability. At Greece’s Piraeus port, an advanced processing and recovery facility recycles ship waste oil into fuel. Equipped with GEA’s high-performance centrifuges, it sets a new benchmark for state-of-the-art, environmentally responsible port operations.
The 2022 CO2 shortage forced breweries to review their dependency on global supply chains. Many were forced to close, unable to carbonate their products. At its breweries in Germany, OeTTINGER GETRÄNKE is turning its own CO2 into a powerful lever for independence and sustainability – with the help of CO2 recovery technology from GEA.
