Single-seat valves
The key to guiding your process flow: GEA FLOWVENT Shut-off valves are used for easy shut-off solutions in hygienic applications.
GEA FLOWVENT Shut-off valves are used for easy shut-off solutions in hygienic applications.
For simple shut-off 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, shut-off valves are not suitable for separating incompatible media.
Shut-off valves are ideal for use e.g. as drain valves or to shut off a bypass line. Often these valve types are also used as dosing valves.

Resource-efficient fashion has been a long-sought ambition amid the fashion industry’s considerable contributions to global carbon emissions. The need to close the loop by recycling textile fibers into virgin-like materials is higher than ever but seemed like a distant dream until now: Circ, GEA’s American customer and pioneer in the field of textile recycling, might be rewriting the future of the fashion industry.
Alternative proteins are promising – yet still expensive to produce. The usual response is that scaling up will solve this issue. But what if the solution was really about getting better, not just bigger? From more efficient, high-yield processes to upcycling waste heat, engineers are reshaping how we grow food.
As anti-cancer drugs become more powerful and complex, GEA is redefining how to safely freeze-dry these life-saving treatments.
