AVR / AVB Shut-Off Valves with electric actuator
GEA shut-off valves (AVR, AVB, AVR/AVB also with electric) are designed for installation in industrial heating and refrigeration systems. The stem sealing is provided either by a threaded bush (AVR type) or by a threaded bush with an additional metal bellows (AVB type) to ensure a complete hermetic sealing. Electric actuator AVR/AVB are powered by an electric motor connected to the stem. The valves can be operated by a hand wheel or a ratchet attached to the stem. By turning the stem clockwise, the valve disc is lowered onto the valve seat, thereby closing the valve. Counter-clockwise rotation of the stem raises the valve disc, opening the valve. Shut-off valves should only be operated in the fully open or fully closed position. When the valve is fully opened, it is possible to replace the threaded bush and the seal. The valves are equipped with a back seal. When the valve is fully opened it is possible to replace the threaded bush and the sealing.

What if your favorite chocolate didn’t require cocoa beans and your coffee was locally produced? As climate disruption, price hikes and ethical concerns hit two of our most beloved indulgences, scientists are reimagining how we produce them – using microbes, not monocultures. The goal: preserve the flavor and properties of coffee and chocolate while minimizing carbon emissions and improving food resilience.
Ports now compete not just on logistics, but on sustainability. At Greece’s Piraeus port, an advanced processing and recovery facility recycles ship waste oil into fuel. Equipped with GEA’s high-performance centrifuges, it sets a new benchmark for state-of-the-art, environmentally responsible port operations.
The 2022 CO2 shortage forced breweries to review their dependency on global supply chains. Many were forced to close, unable to carbonate their products. At its breweries in Germany, OeTTINGER GETRÄNKE is turning its own CO2 into a powerful lever for independence and sustainability – with the help of CO2 recovery technology from GEA.
