The sampling valve is used for drawing samples of liquids and viscous media.
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.
GEA's innovative process marks a milestone in the pretreatment of biofuels such as hydro-treated vegetable oil and sustainable aviation fuel. By eliminating the bleaching process, manufacturers benefit from significant savings potential: over 50% lower operating costs and up to 12% less CO2 emissions.
Climate change and a growing world population put increased pressure on the energy-intensive food industry to feed more people without further impacting the planet. George Shepherd, GEA’s Global Technical Sustainability Manager, explains how GEA uses its engineering know-how to help processors produce more sustainably yet increase productivity.
