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.

Thermoforming has long played a central role in food packaging. Now it is facing a major shift. As regulations tighten, materials evolve and costs rise, form fill seal lines must do more than run reliably – they now shape how food stays fresh, affordable and recyclable. Take a look at the key thermoforming trends informing the food packaging and delivery landscape.

From the orchards of the Cape to store shelves across 40 countries, the South African packhouse Betko has built a business on freshness, timing and reliability. With GEA’s controlled atmosphere refrigeration technology, the company can now store apples and pears for up to 14 months and cut energy consumption by 20%, with a partnership of more than 30 years at the heart of it all.
