VARIVENT® vacuum valves are designed to hygienically protect tanks against vacuums. A protection is already ensured when a vacuum surpasses -2.5 mbarÜ. To minimize the cleaning effort and to protect the valve disc against conglutination, the seat ring is non-stick coated.

Hygienic steam inlet valves are used for the monitored supply of steam in containers or tanks.

Back-pressure valves of the Aseptomag® valve line are characterized by their uncompromising stainless steel bellow design.

Overflow Valves Type Q series VARIVENT® are generally used as pressure relief valves in pipelines.

Industrial production is being asked to use fewer resources, become smarter and keep equipment productive for longer. At GEA, that is changing how innovation happens: engineering, customer insight, digital expertise and service come together earlier – when a solution can still be shaped at its core.
