VARIVENT® and ECOVENT® single-seat valves are used for hygienic applications. The valves are characterized by their ease of operation and flexibility. To avoid pressure surges, individual variants in the VARIVENT® modular system are designed for different flow directions.
In the case of the simple shut-off, there is only one seal in the one-piece valve disc, which separates the pipelines. Therefore, we do not recommend to use single-seat valves for separating "hostile" media. In practical use, these valves are often used as emptying or drainage valves or for shutting off a bypass line. Frequently, these types of valve are also used as dosing valves.

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.
