Make the most of GEA hygienic valves to secure your lead in the dynamic market. Our valves adapt to your process and your product, not the other way round. There are no limits to your product ideas and demands. With ideally suited solutions, you can seize every opportunity to make a profit in your market.
Double-seat mixproof valves provide the shut-off of incompatible media at pipe intersections. Developed by Otto Tuchenhagen, the founder of GEA’s hygienic valve technology range, mixproof valves to this day deliver crucial benefits for safe and secure applications, e.g. in the case of cleaning agents in pipes carrying products.

FLOWVENT Double-seal valves
The easy solution for CIP feeds: GEA FLOWVENT Double-seal valves can be applied as efficient alternatives for secure separation of incompatible products within CIP systems or gas blocks.

FLOWVENT Mixproof 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.

VARIVENT® 24/7 PMO
24 / 7 PMO Valve® describes double-seat valves that have been authorised for use in PMO-regulated systems, where seat lifting occurs to clean the leakage chamber while the other pipeline is carrying product.

VARIVENT® Mixproof divert valves
VARIVENT® mixproof divert valves are used for distributing liquid in pipelines, i.e. for distributing a liquid from one pipeline into two others, in which case one of the two pipelines must be shut off from the outlet line with a mixproof function.

The breakthrough that changed spray drying
In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.

Beyond the machine: unlocking better plant performance
An efficient machine does not automatically make an efficient factory. Real improvement often starts by looking beyond individual equipment and understanding how processes, energy systems and operating decisions affect one another. It’s a holistic approach designed to uncover opportunities that might otherwise be missed.

How a valve reshapes the way food and drinks are made
In food and beverage plants, valves are commonly operated using compressed air. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology moves valves with water instead, in a closed, digitally controlled circuit. The result is a valve that can be held exactly in place and steered in fine-tuned steps. This results in lower energy use and greater control.
