Service Valves, type HRS, HRSB und HRSN
GEA service valves and GEA Needle Valves are designed to attach additional devices such as manometers to heating and refrigeration systems. Therefore they are available with various types of connections. They have a locking function that can be operated with a handwheel or a ratchet. With valve types HRS and HRSN, the stem is sealed by means of a screw bush. With valve type HRSB, the stem sealing is provided by a threaded bush and a metal bellows for completely hermetic sealing. The valves are also equipped with a back seal. When the valve is fully open, it is possible to replace the threaded bush and the seal without interrupting operation.

Last year was not a year of hyped-up headlines for alternative proteins. Perhaps that is precisely why it was an important year for food biotech, the biotechnology behind everyday foods and ingredients. While the sector worked through a difficult funding environment, approvals were still granted, pilot lines set up and new platforms tested in the background. In short: headlines are turning into infrastructure. Frederieke Reiners heads GEA’s New Food business. She and her team work at the intersection of biotechnology and industrial food production. In this interview, she takes us on a world tour of food biotech in seven questions.
