AVR / AVB Shut-Off Valves with electric actuator

Shut-off Valves

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.

Transforming sidestreams into jet fuel

Transforming sidestreams into jet fuel

The aviation industry wants to use more sustainable aviation fuel, but supply is limited. To meet demand and secure cleaner air travel, suppliers need to unlock resources from existing sidestreams like fats and oils. How to scale up? That’s where GEA comes in.

In 1926, Ramesohl & Schmidt (later Westfalia Separator AG) launched their first bucket milking system. The Kirchhoff family was among the first to use it on their farm in Germany.

From milking bucket to robot: 100 years of farm innovation at GEA

For more than 100 years, GEA has developed technologies for dairy farming – from the first bucket milking machines to autonomous, digitally connected systems. These innovations have fundamentally transformed dairy farming: away from labor-intensive routines, toward greater productivity, animal welfare and more efficient day-to-day operations.
