Single-seat Valves
The master tool for all changeover functions: GEA FLOWVENT Divert valves are used for easy changeover solutions in hygienic applications.
GEA FLOWVENT Divert valves are used for easy changeover solutions in hygienic applications.
For simple switching functions, there is only one seal separating the pipelines from each other. In the event of a possible seal failure, liquid can leak into the second pipeline. For this reason, divert valves are not suitable for separating incompatible media.
Divert valves are ideal for use in CIP supply and return lines. A typical application can also be found at the end of a valve block where the valves are installed as changeover valves between the process line and the drainage (e.g. during pushing out).

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.
