Special valves & tank safety systems
The sampling valve VARIVENT® Type IT is used for drawing small samples of liquids and viscous media. Manual or pneumatic actuation is combined in the actuator. Different interfaces ensure a wide application range
Various types of connection nozzles are available for a safe and no loss discharge of the sample volume into the sample receptacles. Spiral flame nozzles are used for liquids containing CO2 and other medium tending to foam.

VARIVENT® mixproof sampling valves are ideally suited as fully automatic sampling and dosing valves in process plants.
These valves are used for taking random samples for monitoring the biological condition of product lines. Suitable products: media without suspended particles and of low viscosity, e.g. water, beer, milk, juices without fruit pulp.
Something caught Farmer Tom's eye. Instead of another product demo, GEA showcased innovations via AR. That's only the start of GEA's interactive digital farm.
GEA scientists are working with researchers at the Graz University of Technology to configure a homogenization process and technology that turns eucalyptus pulp into 3D-printed, organic structures mimicking human veins, arteries and other tissues.
Companies like GEA process and store large amounts of sensitive data. However, security incidents, from ransomware attacks to physical intrusions and industrial espionage, are ever-expanding. GEA’s effective protection of its business partners’ data – as well as its own proprietary information – is evolving into a competitive advantage. We spoke with Iskro Mollov, GEA’s Chief Information Security Officer, about what it takes to protect a global business in a volatile world.
